After the debacles of Batman V Superman: Dawn of Justice and Justice League, DC and Warner Bros are getting some positive turnaround from surprising properties in their DC Extended Universe. Wonder Woman is their most critically acclaimed movie, while Aquaman is their biggest hit. Now they have their hopes pinned up on Shazam!, which appears to be the funniest movie in the 'oh so dark' Universe, that even Marvel would find competitive. Asher Angel and Zachary Levi play the leads in the film. Shazam Actor Zachary Levi Hits Back At Captain Marvel Trolls, Asks Fans To Stop Pitting The Two Films Against Each Other.

Shazam! is based on the adventures of a kid Billy Batson who gets superpowers from a mysterious old man and becomes a fully grown man, after screaming 'Shazam!'. Shazam has most of the superpowers that anyone would vie for - hyper-speed, flight, super-strength and resistance to bullets. But he also retains the mind of a kid, which makes Shazam a really adorable and naughty superhero. Something the new trailer of the film harps on.

The trailer gets us through the many of Shazam's misadventures as he finds out how cool his powers are, with the help of his friend, Freddy. We also get a taste of Mark Strong's antagonist, Dr Thaddeus Sivana, who seems to be more powerful than Shazam. There is also a Batman 'cameo' though it is not what you think! Avengers: Endgame, Captain Marvel, Shazam! - 9 Superhero Movies We Are Super-Excited To Watch in 2019!
