As excited as we are for the upcoming Aquaman movie, we’re equally happy to see Shazam! which will hit theaters in April of 2019. Zachary Levi will certainly bring a new kind of tone to the DCEU, which was previously known for a darker feel. Shazam! has proved by its trailers that it will feature humor, heart, and plenty of action. Levi took to Twitter to explain how his film will not only stand alone, but also stake its place within the DC Extended Universe.
The movie is completely trackable on its own merit. That said, there a lot of fun little nods/homages/Easter eggs that can be enjoyed should one be caught up in the DCEU. 🤙 https://t.co/JrqbcSLbXN

Levi also delved in further:
“Our movie takes place very squarely in the DC Universe. In fact, I would argue that we’re kind of the most self-aware of it because the movies that we all watch — I mean, Aquaman and Wonder Woman, Batman, Superman — they’re all basically documentaries in their world,” Levi told Entertainment Tonight. “These things, these are all real events that have happened. Batman and Superman fighting, Superman saving all of Metropolis, whilst simultaneously destroying the entire city — that all really happened.”
