On April 5th, 2019, Shazam! arrived in theaters, and earned a 90% Rotten Tomatoes score and a solid $364.6 million at the worldwide box office. Now, star Zachary Levi has taken to Instagram to mark the occasion, while also sharing his hopes to reprise the role in the upcoming sequel.
That's been dated for April 1st, 2022, but director David F. Sandberg recently admitted that there's a chance it could be hit by a slight delay due to the COVID-19 pandemic (shooting was expected to start later this year, around the same time cameras start rolling on the Black Adam movie).
The hope is that both DC Comics characters will cross paths on the big screen in the not too distant future, and that's obviously an exciting prospect for fans of the source material given their history.
With Levi's message comes a never before seen promo shot of Shazam, and while some fans found fault with his "inflated" appearance, there's no denying the actor was born to play this hero.
