While a new Shazam! trailer should hit sometime soon, Warner Bros. has gone ahead and released a fun new extended sneak peek for the David F. Sandberg-directed DC film, featuring tons of new footage as Zachary Levi's (Chuck) titular hero does his best to save the day while battling Dr. Sivana (Mark Strong).
There are also a few lighter moments as adult Billy Batson tries to buy beer, and he and Freddy (Jack Dylan Grazer) try to find him a superhero lair.
The one-minute TV spot will air at least twice this afternoon, first during the NFC Championship Game between the New Orleans Saints and the Los Angeles Rams and then again, during the AFC Championship Game between the 5x World Champion New England Patriots and the Kansas City Chiefs.
We all have a superhero inside us, it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out. In Billy Batson’s case, by shouting out one word—SHAZAM!—this streetwise 14-year-old foster kid can turn into the adult Super Hero Shazam, courtesy of an ancient wizard. Still a kid at heart—inside a ripped, godlike body—Shazam revels in this adult version of himself by doing what any teen would do with superpowers: have fun with them! Can he fly? Does he have X-ray vision? Can he shoot lightning out of his hands? Can he skip his social studies test? Shazam sets out to test the limits of his abilities with the joyful recklessness of a child. But he’ll need to master these powers quickly in order to fight the deadly forces of evil controlled by Dr. Thaddeus Sivana.
