Superman Gets A Shout-Out In This Latest SHAZAM! Teaser
A brief teaser for the Shazam! sneak peek that'll feature on the upcoming home release of Aquaman is now online, and while Superman doesn't actually appear, he does get a name-drop! Check it out...
Early reports indicate that Shazam! might just feature a cameo appearance from Superman (although it most likely won't be Henry Cavill in the cape), and The Man of Steel gets a shout-out in this latest teaser for the Big Red Cheese's first big-screen outing.
The brief clip, which was shared by the Aquaman Twitter account, contains a few snippets of new footage, and ends with Freddy Freeman (Jack Dylan Grazer) trying to encourage Shazam (Zachary Levi) to unleash his superhero abilities by telling him to "Superman it."
Will that be the only Superman reference we get in the movie? We'll find out soon, because Shazam! flies into theaters on April 5.
We all have a superhero inside us, it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out. In Billy Batson’s (Asher Angel) case, by shouting out one word—SHAZAM!—this streetwise 14-year-old foster kid can turn into the adult Super Hero Shazam (Zachary Levi), courtesy of an ancient wizard (Djimon Hounsou). 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 (Mark Strong).
