Zachary Levi posted a exposure of himself and what looks like an ad for Shazam ! on Instagram today , which give lover their firstreallook at David F. Sandberg ’s 2019 motion-picture show , Shazam ! . While he ’s since deleted the post , you may still check out the image below .

found on this " first aspect " as well as what has been leak out so far , Zachary Levi ’s Shazam costume clearlytakes inspiration from WB’sJustice League : Waranimated moving-picture show ( which is base on theJustice League : Origincomic Holy Writ tale ) , just as Sandberg said it would . Off the bat , the most obtrusive law of similarity is the lightning bolt on Levi ’s chest ; its shape and color intemperately resembles the more recent incarnations of the character , just like Shazam ’s cape . Also , Shazam ’s bracer are identical to the single the character reference wear in the animated motion picture . Morever , buff may also be able to spot a obscure homage to the classic DC characterTawky Tawny on the clasps for Shazam ’s hood(the tigers ) . While the court does n’t mean the grapheme will appear in the movie , itdoesadd a turn of fan service to the intent .

Overall , it seems that the costume ’s design is quite accurate to the laughable book source material and seems to be urge on in the main by Shazam ’s fresh 52 embodiment as well as designs from legendary mirthful Scripture artist Alex Ross . What ’s interesting is that many DCEU costumes seem to take inspiration from Ross ' introduction . After all , theofficialJustice Leagueposteritself was inspired by Ross ' iconic bill sticker , " The Original Seven , " so it makes sense that Warner Bros. would go on that trend with Levi ’s Shazam , even though the character is n’t always depict as a core League phallus . Now that the " first flavour " atShazam!is out , fans should expect to see an prescribed double sooner rather than subsequently and thenpossiblya teaser prevue later this summertime .
