Well, it's about damn time! After a huge number of set photos from Toronto found their way online, Entertainment Weekly has revealed the first official image from Shazam!. As you can see, it features Billy Batson - in his heroic form - enjoying a soda with his buddy Freddy Freeman. Some new details about what to expect from the DC Comics adaptation have also been revealed by the site today.

Apparently, Billy will be assigned to a new foster home where he befriends comic book fanboy Freddy. However, when his subway ride is interrupted by a mysterious Wizard looking for the best possible person to inherit his powers, he becomes Shazam. You'd think he'd have gone for some beers rather than sodas, though, right? Regardless, it looks like he's stepped straight out of the source material.

"I wanted to keep the shorter cape as a throwback to the original because that’s something that sets him apart from Superman or Batman," director David Sandberg reveals. "It makes him feel a bit more Golden Age superhero, which is the vibe I’m going for." What do you guys think of this first official image from Shazam!? As always, be sure to let us know your thoughts in the comments section.

I'm still excited for this one. I hope we get some footage for SDCC. The next few DC movies have me very hopeful.

@comicfan1969 - Aquaman, Wonder Woman 2, Shazam all look like they'll be hits back to back

@comicfan1969 - Those fake muscles look ridiculous and terrible. Is this on purpose or just a DC thing?

FleischerSupes - 7/11/2018, 10:03 AM

@mastakilla39 - I also appreciate a more natural look, even in superheroes.

@mastakilla39 - god that batman suit is awesome and you use what one suit for batman and the flash from the old tv show wow so they have done it twice over 30 years and its DC thing lol are you new here?

NOVAtheSUPA - 7/11/2018, 10:09 AM

@mastakilla39 - look at all those fake muscles........

Def a dc thing......

@mastakilla39 - Have you see Affleck and Cavill during the shoots for those movies? The costumes were definitely contoured, but they were too far off with how ripped those dudes were.

@mastakilla39 - Problem is that real muscles don't translate.

John Wesley Ship was HUGE and it didn't come across, but look him up from that time.
But Marvel does it too.
