Shazam Shazam General Discussion and Speculation - Part 1

[Greenlite]

When they showed the teaser at 2017 SDCC for Aquaman, the movie still had 17 months left before release.

Shazam has about 8 months, they should be able to release a polished version online to start promoting it properly.

 

[Greenlite]

Question - why would the actress playing Mary needs another actress playing the adult superhero version for herself??

Djimon Hounsou cast in DC's Shazam! as the Wizard

Djimon Hounsou was quietly cast to play the sorcerer who gives young Billy Batson his powers in DC’s Shazam! film coming next year, EW has exclusively learned.

Previously, This Is Us actor Ron Cephas Jones was widely reported as likely getting the Shazam! role, but that didn’t end up happening due to a scheduling conflict.
Filming on Shazam! has actually wrapped, but this bit of casting remained under the radar until now.

 

[Guts]

This basically means Djimon will be in two Captain Marvel movies in the same year.

 

[BH/HHH]

Interesting to think they haven’t actually shot any footage with the Wizard yet.

 

[The Shape]

This basically means Djimon will be in two Captain Marvel movies in the same year.

I'm surprised he is able to even do that.

 

[Kane52630]

He's got the Josh Brolin pass.

 

[rogue trooper]

Hounsou is definitely inspired casting! He has the commanding presence for The Wizard.

Wow! I never thought of that!

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

Aw... That's a little disappointing to learn. Nothing against Hounsou but Cephas gives off the wizened sage vibe without any costuming or make up even.

 

[Sawyer]

Yeah. Hounsou is good stuff, but if a replacement was needed, I wish they went for someone a little more weathered.

Jones isn't even that much older than Hounsou, but he just exudes ancient wizard vibes.

 

[Gavan]

Impressive that it was kept secret for so long. WB wouldn't want the kind of behind-the-scenes drama that plagued the Snyder and Ayer films to happen again. Seems like the director of this one runs a tight ship.

This was probably announced since the trailer is coming soon and people would expect the other guy.

got nothing with any potential bts drama. Production ran smoothly start to finish. Stuff like this happens more than think.

 

[NotNickFury]

Between this and that other photo, Shazam is certainly gonna be one thirsty hero.

No! Not the Justice League kind of thirsty.

 

[marcvader]

We should be getting other official images soon hopefully

I love this so much
The costume looks great there.

Really like the new boots

 

[Broseph44]

Awesome

 

[DeGenerate10]

This looks amazing so far. I’m loving the costume and Zach looks perfect as Shazam.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Looks great.

[phlac]

Love this

 

[Spider-jedi]

the suit looks good. only thing i will change is instead of having the red of the suit show under the belt and the boots, it should be similar to the gauntlets with the golden lights
