Dude has no chest.

It's no wonder they padded that sucker so much.

 

[Micromind]

He was always lanky and at 6'3", it's tough to get to superhero shape in 4 months, considering all that, he looks great.

Suit looks awesome there

 

[Sawyer]

Is that Aquaman to Levi's right? Just based on the wrist and what it might be holding, it certainly looks like it could be...

And, yeah, I like what I see there.

 

[DaddlerTheDalek]

He looks cheesy in a good way.

Levi seems like a nice enough guy. I liked him as Chuck. And maybe he will be great in this. But the fake muscle suit looks all wrong.

I don’t see how it’s any different or worse than the muscle suits we’ve seen in other cbms

Agreed

Cavill and Affleck clearly worked out and had the chest and arms for the suit. The Shazam suit looks disproportionate compared to his head.

 

[Sawyer]

The muscles on the suit look perfectly fine in the official pic.

 

[Sawyer]

I'm screaming. If this wasn't me watching public fist fights go down in high school...

They do!
I don’t get the *****ing about it.

Even more confusing is the people saying that they should have made it more like the DCEU Superman suit.

They’re both textured bodysuits over muscle suits
They the same thing but with the difference being one being Superman and the other being Shazam

I'm screaming. If this wasn't me watching public fist fights go down in high school...

 

[Deck Rickard]

I think the muscles on the suit look fine in the official pic and as that photo of Levi working out shows, he's clearly put in time at the gym. He may not be as big as the suit makes him but I still think he looks okay in it.

 

[KRYPTON INC.]

I got no issue with the muscle suit. If anything it plays into the semi over the top nature of the character. Plus the suit just looks great.

is there going to be a new trailer for the Super Bowl? Maybe...?

I hope so!

“Billy Batson is Every Kid” Zachary Levi Says About ‘Shazam!’

“Shazam is the kind of classic – it’s almost Grecian almost in that you’re a normal person who says a word it’s a magic word and all of a sudden now you are imbued with magical superpowers. [You get] fast and strong and all of these things. I think there’s something so incredibly classic that’s wrapped up in that, but also the very pure, unjaded wish-fulfillment of a pure-hearted kid who really is just trying to make his way in the world, find love, find his family and this all-powerful wizard sees in this kid something no one else sees and therefore because of that rewards him and then he gets to be Earth’s Mightiest Mortal. It’s just so awesome, it’s so cool to get to be able to take that on. And again, being a bit of a man-child, I don’t want to say it’s second nature because I’m still an adult, obviously, but I think it’s something that I feel like I’ve always been, I’ve always tapped into that and really am grateful that however I was created in this world is something that’s lending itself to bringing this character to life.

This premise is kind of almost the most iconic of all wish fulfillment premises. And yet, for whatever reason, only now is this movie being made. But haven’t we all sat around as children wishing we had the ability to just magically transform into our super self? …Some days I wake up and I’m still hoping that my genetics are mutating and I’ll be able to – I was a big X-Men fan. X-Factor, X-Force, X-Everything! And that’s one of the things we love about that franchise, is that is that it just kinda happens. You were normal, and then you mutated.?

Honestly, I think the purity of it. While we all like seeing movies that challenge us with their kind of the darker underbelly of life and we need to shine lights on those things and tell those stories, there’s a lot of heaviness in the world and I think that it’s really beautiful when you can go and cheer for that’s just got a good heart that really does mean well and they’re trying to find their way in the world.

We need heroes. That’s why I think we flock to superhero movies. We wanna see ourselves in them, we do see ourselves in them, but we also feel kind of inspired and more hopeful that there is good in the world that is vanquishing the evil in the world that is standing up for the everyman and going and trying to make a difference. But again also, it’s the wish fulfillment. Other characters, other superheroes you don’t’ necessarily, it’s difficult to see yourselves in those shoes. But Billy Batson is every kid, he’s every kid. Again, we’re 14 or younger, or adults still we’re still having that wouldn’t it be so cool if and Billy Batson is the manifestation of that. Wouldn’t it be so cool if you were transported to a magical dimension and a wizard says I pick you and boom, now you get to go fly?”
