he's the original Captain Marvel from DC before they lost the rights to the name, and now he's called Shazam. Interestingly enough this movie and the Marvel Captain Marvel movie both come out around the same time. they might even be in theaters at the same time maybe. kinda weird

Love this trailer. This is the first DC movie I've been excited for since Man of Steel.

As I said in the other topic:
Looks pretty fun. I love the scene where he meets Freddy Freeman. tbh, Freddy kinda makes the film. I'm pretty hyped for Shazam!, although I'm not loving the look of the hero -- either the outfit or the actor cast to play him.


In general, Aquaman and Shazam are the first hero movies in a while to kinda have me really hyped.

the outfit is the right outfit though. what would you have him wear? this is his costume in the comic

Not exactly. He's the original Captain Marvel from Fawcett Comics, who DC only own because they sued Fawcett Comics out of existence (mainly because they claimed Captain Marvel was a blatant Superman rip-off), and then they lost the trademark on the name because of complications due to Fawcett Comics getting sued out of existence.

Basically, DC getting fucked out of being able to use the name is pretty much karmic retribution.

They still have the rights to the name, though. They can still call the character Captain Marvel. They just can't use it as a trademark (which means they can't call any comic book he stars in "Captain Marvel"). But because of the confusion that causes, even they just eventually gave up and said "Ehh, fuck it, we'll just call him Shazam from now on."

Getting this actor is very good, if you watch the TV show Chuck he is hilarious in that and it's basically another case of a random dude getting special powers. He knows how to play these characters and he will easily be able to embrace a bit of a goofy role with some real action at times.

I wish we saw the villain. We only see that bald guy but he doesn't look like Black Adam. I don't know of any other Shazam villains.

The bald guy is almost certainly this guy:

He's pretty much the #1 villain for the character, even above and beyond Black Adam.

Sadly, THIS is one of his OTHER major villains:

The trailer is exactly the tone that this movie needs.

Now let's just hope DC doesn't cock it up by making the actual movie super dark or including a true-to-the-comics Steamboat.

98% of people that went to Guardains of the Galaxy 1 right when it came out had no clue who most if not all of those characters were.

anyway he's pretty old. Shazam has existed since like the 40's. he's just never been famous before. you might have seen him in the story mode for Injustice: Gods Among Us but other than that......he's been waiting 70 years for his big break

I had no clue who they were either. But the trailer for it sold me. The prison line up to introduce the characters and the finisher with "what a bunch of a holes" pulled me in.

This suit kinda reminds me of green lantern, that is the largest reason I'm skeptical.

he's more like superman. he's literally a superman clone, originally. his personality and powers are nothing like green lantern. he's a kid that turns into an adult when he says Shazam

Either the costume doesn't look right or the actor doesn't. More importantly, your image depicts him in his class outfit -- which I like -- whereas this is more based on his N52 outfit.

He's got a colorful rogues gallery, to be sure.

I don't really get what he means then. cause I don't see how that trailer has anything to do with the green lantern movie. it looks totally different. the only connection is that there is humor in both trailers. but that was a snarky adult man. this is a story about a child

someone once called all DC fans racist without ever explaining why. and I got really mad and tried to make them explain. I think they eventually admitted they were just trolling. I don't remember who it was.

Freddie was always crippled, though.

I was referring more to the New 52 version, where they basically went for a massive explosion of diversity by making up a ton of new characters:

http://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/marvel_dc/images/4/4f/Shazam_Family_0001.jpg

So you've basically got Billy and Mary, but there's also Freddie (who covers the handicapped demographic), Hispanic kid, Asian kid, and little black girl.

Though if they DO put them in the movie, they may take shit from the PC/SJW crowd for the somewhat tone-deaf fact that the Asian kid is a nerd, the Hispanic kid is fat and turns into mister machismo when he transforms, and the black girl's power is that she runs really, really fast.
