Concept artist Jerad S. Marantz has shared some of his early work from Shazam!, and revealed an eye-catching take on Wrath, one of the Seven Deadly Sins. Utilised by Dr. Sivana in the movie, Lust, Gluttony, Greed, Sloth, Envy, Pride, and Wrath all looked a tad generic, but this take on the latter definitely would have made a bigger impact on screen. 

It possible we'll see more of the Seven Deadly Sins in Black Adam as Shazam! revealed that he had released them thousands of years earlier in a bid to avenge the murder of his family. 

It's a shame the movie didn't deliver a more memorable take on these monsters, and Marantz's design definitely stands out. It's unclear why director David F. Sandberg decided against going with this take, but it's possible it boiled down to budgetary issues as this would have been expensive to create. 

Check out the concept art below:

I still dont understand the hate this movie gets. Thought it was one among the better of DC's recent offerings tbh

@tmp3 - Hopefully the sequel can start filming soon. Ive heard they were suppose to start something before the lockdown.

Really people keep bringing up the actors ages, but really its fine, they had a good variety of ages and its not like movies dont get older actors for younger characters. In the film Billy was 14, and in the first mcu spiderman, Peter was 15, Billy's actor was actually his age and Tom Holland was 19 of 20

Sandberg is such a competent filmmaker. The guy knows how almost every moving part works, and I love how he works. He's also a fan, and that helps in spades. More of people like this, DC/WB.

@Dredd97 - I also love how he still kept his Youtube roots, and gives the ins & outs of working on bigger productions. I feel like that low-budget experience really helped out, and he seems to be self-aware enough about what worked and didn’t about each project he did to keep improving going forward

@Dredd97 - Surprisingly horror directors have worked pretty well for DC.

@tmp3 - I agree! You can tell he absolutely loves the art of making a movie. I've rarely seen that in modern directors, especially from his crop.

@dracula - Horror directors work for a lot of comic movies, oddly. Sam Raimi for Spidey, Richard Donner did The Omen before Superman, Burton for Batman, etc.

@Dredd97 - Pee Wee’s Big Adventure was a horror film??

@tmp3 - Boy is it ever lol that dream scene with the dinos and doctors. But I was thinking more Frankenweenie and Beetlejuice

@Dredd97 - Now they have Andy Muschietti on Flash.
Maybe they should look into getting Leigh Whannell and Fede Alvarez for something.

@dracula - yeah well, those previous guys made good horror tho...

Eh, the design they went with was fine, this one could have ended up looking like that brother from Suicide Squad

No Design could save that movie.

The entire approach to the Seven Deadly Sins was the worst part of an otherwise good family story. They might as well have just been gray ogres. What’s the point of even calling them that if the film is only going to touch on envy? There was a missed opportunity.

I loved Shazam really enjoyed it the trailers had me thinking this was gonna be a really goofy film like they were taking a page from the MCU films (was really hoping they weren't), while this movie did have some comedy in it but wasn't overdone and like it is in those MCU films, it was dark and scary and times and when the tone of the movie was serious it got real serious.
