Shazam Shazam General Discussion and Speculation - Part 2

[TheUndertaker]

Shout out from Slim Shady himself.

Great publicity for the movie!
I'm sensing a Venom level of success?

 

[Karelia]

I'm totally okay with them not showing much new footage. A tease of the family would have been cool, but the movie comes out in a little over a month. I think most people can manage.

What was the budget of this film? I think this could do pretty decent numbers.

It’s reported to be 80-100 million though I’m leaning towards 100 as opposed to 80. Either way it’s low compared to other DC movies. Even with a box office haul of 500 million, it shouldn’t have a problem making a healthy profit.

 

[TheUndertaker]

Don't forget a sneak peek is coming tomorrow with the Aquaman release.
There will be more footage for those of us who want to see everything.

Yep!

Official trailer over 200k already

Could be. Eminem's presence is a good luck bless for Venom. Please be a good luck charm for Shazam! too.

 

[samsnee]

What the heck was that? They literally could have released that any time. There was no real new footage we haven’t seen anywhere else except this time we have a cheesy Eminem song in the background. Makes me wonder what they are scared of showing.

I get they don’t want to show everything, and they shouldn’t. But this was barely anything new.

 

[The Guard]

This continues to look delightful. Not just because it's funny, but it looks like there's some real heart hidden in here. I think there's definitely a "This not how superheroes are supposed to act" thing going on here. The third act is probably a bit more somber as he realizes what his responsibilities will be.

 

[Kuwolski]

When the GOAT hype's your film it can only help..

 

[terry78]

Well this looks off the hook. I suspect there's gonna be kind of a jab at how this is Superman really was portrayed back in the day before he got all angsty.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Really fun trailer, getting more and more excited for this one.

 

[Micromind]

Some people are asking "Why are there toys for JL- heroes within this movie-verse ?"

Well, even real people can get action figures, for example WWE wrestlers have them, so similarly with-in the DCEU, stores sell toys for Superman, Cyborg, WW, Aquaman and Batman.

I suppose this movie takes place some time after the events of JL.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

Weren’t there Superman toys in Suicide Squad also? And Batman masks, no problem with them showing up here.

 

[Deck Rickard]

Hmmm... hmmmm...

I really want this movie to be good. But I just don't know. I'm still hoping for the best.

 

[Mandon Knight]

Loving everything I've seen so far. Cannot wait.

 

[terry78]

The movie takes place in the DCEU and of course toy companies are going to capitalize on real world heroes. It's basically saying all the merch we have is the merch they have.

That's one good thing JL movie did, it established a shared universe where all these heroes exist rather quickly.

 

[Guts]

He's got a point. Once Doomsday showed up in that BvS trailer, everyone practically knows that Superman is going to die.

Yeah, I'm sure if there were real life popular superheroes there would eventually be toys made for them (especially the more clean cut ones).

"With great power comes great responsibility" will be a theme it seems, which is always nice.

 

[brandeezy89]

Kinda like the kid in Logan having a Wolverine toy in a costume he never wore lol

 

[MahvelBaby!]

I rather enjoyed this trailer. I'm in!

I agree.
Still looking forward to it, but it wasnt that different.

Freddy has a framed newspaper that references the events of JL.

 

[DarkKnight88]

I like the vibe of the trailer, but I kind of hate the look of this film. It all looks so... mundane compared to the past few superhero movies. I was hoping for something a little more fantastical looking. Movie might still be good though.
