Shazam!
The newShazam!trailer dropped a subtle reference book toCaptain Marvel . Shazammay be only make his manner to the big projection screen in 2019 but is one of the oldest superheroes in comic strip , create by creative person C.C. Beck and writer Bill Parker back in 1939 . Back when he debuted , though , Billy Batson ’s superhero went under the codename " Captain Marvel . " He was the most popular superhero of the 1940s , with Fawcett Comics expanding his mythology to include a whole range of wonder - ous bomber .
DC Comics license the Marvel Family role from Fawcett in 1972 , but due to a trademark contravention with Marvel Comics they ditched the " Captain Marvel " name . DC has since branded and market the characters under the trademark " Shazam ! , " and in 2011 they resolve to rename the hoagy entirely . That ’s why 2019 is amusingly starting off with Marvel’sCaptain Marveland DC’sShazam!There ’s a sight of confusion and controversy among factor of the respective fanbases to this day , butthe star of the two films do n’t seem too implicated .

That does n’t mean the films ca n’t subtly poke fun at each other , though . Shazam ! , in special , looks coif to be something of a comedy superhero film , and inthe new trailerBilly Batson ’s Quaker Freddy give him the hilarious codename " Captain Sparklefingers . " gratuitous to say , Billy is n’t impressed , not least because Freddy ’s just enunciate that to an attractive girl . But there ’s an extra layer of liquid body substance to this credit line of dialog .
Back in 2012 , funny book writer Kelly Sue DeConnick launch a unexampled series starring Carol Danvers , in which she took up the name " Captain Marvel " in laurels of a fallen Kree hero . InCaptain Marvel#6 , Carol was force to revisit her own past alongside an erstwhile admirer , Dr. Helen Cobb , and they look out her origin story play out before their eyes . " The scrap they dug up in Peru was from that [ automobile ] , " Helen see , " So it goes boom , you wish you were powerful enough to cease it and beano ! You ’re Princess Sparklefists , flyin ' without a woodworking plane ? " Yes , with its " Sparklefingers " nod , theShazam!trailer in reality include a Carol Danvers Easter egg .
The more you look into this credit , though , the more amusing it becomes . Marvel ’s upcoming smash hit , Captain Marvel , is largely inspired by the Kelly Sue DeConnick run . What ’s more , an prescribed MCU tie - in novel -Steve Behling’sStarforceon theRise- even made the " Sparklefists " name part of the MCU . Carol Danvers did n’t really fit in all that well with the Kree Starforce , and one of her fellow soldiers , Minn - Erva , give her the irritating cognomen . It would n’t be a surprise to see it turn up in the film as well .
