From the first glimpse of DC’s upcoming superhero flick Shazam, it’s been clear that the film is going to be a fun-filled adventure closer to the classic age of ’80s comedies like Big than your average dark and gritty caped crusader fare. But in a new TV spot, the studio has unleashed the true power of Shazam with an action heavy trailer with some goosebump-inducing moments that still never loses the humor that has made the project so unique and anticipated.
For those of you who still don’t know, Shazam tells the story of a young boy named Billy Batson who gets chosen by a wizard to wield the powers of a clan of immortals, thus making him the titular hero anytime he says the word… Shazam! This new TV spot is the first which really shows Billy after he’s gotten a handle on his powers and features a breath taking moment where he launches himself of the side of a building before invoking the powers of Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles, and Mercury, flying into the vast city scape of Philadelphia where the film is set.
