After a seven month wait the second official trailer for DC’s upcoming feature Shazam has finally been released! It’s safe to say we should expect a lot of laughs and heart from the upcoming DC movie.
Take a look at the second official trailer below:
Shazam sees Zachary Levi take on the role of the original Captain Marvel. As an orphan Billy Batson (Asher Angel) floats from Foster family to Foster family until fate drops him in a lap of a family with five other Foster kids.
When he saves his sibling Freddy Freeman (Jack Dylan Grazer) from bullies he is transported to a strange location where he meets a Wizard known as Shazam (Djimon Hounsou).
When Billy says the Wizard’s name he becomes the Super Hero now known as Shazam.
The movie will see Levi’s Shazam face off against Dr. Thaddeus Sivana (Mark Strong), a businessman who creates weapons. The Wizard rejected Sivana when he was a child, which leads to a lifetime of resentment and a want for revenge.
The trailer reinforces this, with Dr Sivana showing powers similar to that of Shazam.
Check out the official synopsis for Shazam!:
“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.”
The film hits theaters April 5th.
