Shazam! is so close that we can practically taste it. Promotion is in full force for this superhero film that encompasses a young foster kid gaining the abilities to turn himself into a full-fledged superhuman, although; as main character Billy Batson would say, he doesn’t know anything about “this Caped Crusader stuff.” Luckily he has Freddie by his side, who in the newest featurette tells him that he is pretty much doing the opposite of what a superhero is supposed to do. You can see all of this in the new trailer below:
Below you can find the official synopsis:
“We all have a superhero inside us, it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out. In Billy Batson’s (Asher Angel) case, by shouting out one word—SHAZAM!—this streetwise 14-year-old foster kid can turn into the adult Super Hero Shazam (Zachary Levi), courtesy of an ancient wizard (Djimon Hounsou). 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 (Mark Strong).”
Shazam! will hit theaters April 5th and we can all agree that Zachary Levi is going to give us a great performance and the movie is going to be a good time!
