The first trailer for DC’s Shazam is like Big, but with superheroes

This trailer is dope. It shows up how the kid after saving his friend runs a goes in a sky train. The train starts to accelerate and reaches a place where this old guy asks him to call his name.

The boys get the superpowers for real. One of the best scenes involves Billy and his foster brother figuring out what powers he possesses. They’re both downright giddy during the process.

Either way, leaning into the freshness of a character like Shazam could be invigorating for DC. It certainly brings plenty of joy to the trailer. Just try not to laugh when Billy marvels about his total lack of knowledge when it comes to his new suit, “Superpowers? Dude, I don’t even know how to pee in this thing.”
