Following set visits and video, Warner Bros. has yet to reveal an official image of Zachary Levi in the Shazam! costume.
Is that a good thing?
I canât say, but the set video and images are definitely creating a lot of buzz for the movie, which is never a bad thing.
When that first set image out of Toronto hit the net of Zachary Levi in costume, some fans were a bit uneasy; however, fans who actually saw the costume in person said it was pretty awesome.
One fan happened to take to Twitter and troll Zachary Levi by comparing the look of the Shazam! costume to Robin Williamsâ Mork and Mindy costume.Â
Zachary Levi was quick to respond with some fun.

Shazam! has an April 5, 2019 directed by David F. Sandberg also starring Mark Strong in the role of Super-Villain Dr. Thaddeus Sivana, Jack Dylan Grazer (âITâ) as Billyâs best friend and ultimate superhero enthusiast, Freddy, part of the foster family that includes Mary, played by Grace Fulton (âAnnabelle: Creationâ); Darla, played by Faithe Herman (TVâs âThis is Usâ); Eugene, played by Ian Chen (TVâs âFresh Off the Boatâ); and Pedro, played by Jovan Armand (TVâs âHawaii Five-Oâ). Cooper Andrews (TVâs âThe Walking Deadâ) and Marta Milans (TVâs âKiller Womenâ) play foster parents Victor and Rosa Vasquez, with Ron Cephas Jones (âThis is Usâ) as the Wizard.
We all have a superhero inside us, it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out. In Billy Batsonâs (Angel) case, by shouting out one wordâSHAZAM!âthis streetwise 14-year-old foster kid can turn into the adult Super Hero Shazam (Levi), courtesy of an ancient wizard. Still a kid at heartâinside a ripped, godlike bodyâShazam 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 heâll need to master these powers quickly in order to fight the deadly forces of evil controlled by Dr. Thaddeus Sivana (Strong).
