Shazam!
Shazam!director David F. Sandberg has provided a coup d’oeil into the origins of the titulary hero ’s epic style of transformation . The social medium post follows red-hot on the heelsof a well - receivedShazam!trailerand panel give-and-take at last workweek ’s San Diego Comic - Con , and the hype has been electrical .
The film will iterate the blood of the hero once love as Captain Marvel . primitively created for Fawcett Comics in 1940 , the quality has since move to DC , where his name was changed to avoid confusedness withanother newspaper publisher ’s Captain Marvel(one who also has a movie coming out in 2019 , coincidentally ) . What has n’t change is that it ’s still the report of Billy Batson , a teenaged boy give with incredible magic tycoon that let him transform into a grown - up superhero whenever he says the word of honor " Shazam .

Sandberg shared the storyboardsvia hisInstagramaccount , where the rough sketches are pair with frames from the film that also appear in the recent trailer . In the shot , Billy ( Asher Angel ) stride toward the camera along a street decorated for Christmas . He cry out"Shazam!“and is immediately struck by a kindling bolt . emerge from the bullet is first a recognizable glow symbolisation followed by a very confident - look Zachary Levi in the full red and yellow courtship and white cape .
Along with the movie , Sandberg describe it as the one of the first scenes he sketched out for the motion picture , and one he hoped would be in the dawdler . Even though he ’s previously recognize thatthe visual personal effects shown in the trailerare not quite finished yet and could use some tweaking , the trailer has gone a long way to assure sports fan that DC is back on the ripe track , in term of its moving-picture show end product .
Much of the conversation aroundShazam!has focused on its lighter tone , represent a measured variety of tread for the usually gloomy DC Film series ( which may now be officially known as theWorlds of DCfranchise ) . That shift is observable in theShazam!trailer , which leans heavily on Levi ’s natural charm and the fatuity of a kid suddenly get superpowers with no instructions .
This finical shot , and the grounds that Sandberg considered it so early on , hint that even whileShazam!will be a lighter cinema than the DC movies before it , it ’s not ease up up on heroic storytelling . In fact , Sandberg even states along with the post that this is n’t his favorite Billy / Shazam translation in the film . Hopefully , that ’s a hint of even more impressive visuals to come , befitting a character who for tenner has been come to to as " Earthy ’s mightiest mortal . "
