Hey Marvel fans, have you forgotten we have an awesome DC Universe new superhero movie to look forward to next month?
New Line Cinema’s “Shazam!,” the origin story that stars Zachary Levi (TV’s “Chuck”) as the titular DC Super Hero, along with Asher Angel (TV’s “Andi Mack”) as Billy Batson, and Mark Strong (the “Kingsman” movies) in the role of Super-Villain Dr. Thaddeus Sivana.
We all have a superhero inside us, it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out. In Billy Batson’s case, by shouting out one word—SHAZAM!—this streetwise 14-year-old foster kid can turn into the adult Super Hero Shazam, courtesy of an ancient wizard. Still a kid at heart—inside a ripped, godlike body—Shazam revels in this adult version of himself by doing what any teen would do with superpowers: have fun with them! Can he fly? Does he have X-ray vision? Can he shoot lightning out of his hands? Can he skip his social studies test? Shazam sets out to test the limits of his abilities with the joyful recklessness of a child. But he’ll need to master these powers quickly in order to fight the deadly forces of evil controlled by Dr. Thaddeus Sivana.
This movie trailer also has some Easter Eggs for fans of the rest of the DC Universe.
From JOHN ORQUIOLA at ScreenRant.com
One of Shazam!‘s Easter eggs lays the blame on Lex Luthor (Jesse Eisenberg) for the alien invasion in Justice League!
I could follow most of the scoop, but then it got to be a little deep for me. You can read the full article with explanation of each egg by clicking HERE
And let’s not forget how amazing Zachary Levi looks right now? How did he do it?
