That’s all we know a month before the movie’s release, but for now, the trailers are a bigger and better adventure that retains the essence of the original movie. This is what made us fall in love with the wacky world of Shazam in the first place. The action, in particular, looks spectacular, aspect Shazam! this was greatly underestimated as DC’s pantheon of gods was expanded and dragons and unicorns added to the joy. The stakes seem higher than ever as Calypso and Hespera are unwilling to take prisoners. However, the key to victory may lie with Antea, who hopes to develop a close relationship with Freddy in the film.
