"Sup, I'm a superhero" - here are the 7 best moments from the Shazam! trailer in GIF form
Who knew a g🥂uy called Billy Batson could bring this much comedy to the DCEU🍌?
While the likes of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Batman v Superman and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Justice League would lead you to believe that the DC Extended Universe doesn’t understand comedy, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Wonder Woman and the upcoming Aquaman suggest otherwise. We can now add Shazam! to that list, based on the cheery, delightful nature of its first trailer, which was released at 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:San Diego Comic Con 2018.
Interestingly enough, the film hails from David F. Sandberg, a director whose work includes Annabelle: Creation. While that flick is not exactly teeming with cheer or delight, it’s obvious that he’s going all-in on the light-hearted tone for Shazam! Seriously, this looks like the most family-friendly entry in the DC universe. Things kick o☂ff as 14-year-old Billy Batson (Asher 𓃲Angel) discovers he can transform into an adult superhero (Zachary Levi) when he says the magic word.
The most amusing parts of this trailer are when we see the adult Billy hanging out with his best friend, Freddy (played by the It movie's Jack Dylan Grazer). It&rsqu🔴o;s basically like the Tom Hanks ‘80s classic Big, but instead of him just being an adult, he’s, you know, an adult in a pa💞dded superhero outfit with powers.
Here are the best bits:
Billy’s new family
Billy meets Freddy, who warns him of his new foster family: “They seem nice, but don’t buy it. It gets real Game of Thrones around here. *snorts* Dude, just messing around, you’re looking at me like ‘why so dark?’ You’re a disabled foster kid, you’ve goജt it all.”
When Billy meets... Shazam!
Billy enco🌳unters an ancient wizard who tells him the word he must say to become an adult… is SHAZAM! “What, are you for real?” is Billy’s retort.
The trouble with supersuits
"What are your supꦜerpowers?” Freddy asks. &ldquo🐈;Superpowers?" Billy replies, "I don’t even know how to pee in this thing!”
