The DC superhero movie "Shazam" will be released on April 5th, but before then we also discovered that there is likely to be more than one Shazam in this movie. Before telling why, we need to briefly understand Shazam's background. Who is
Shazan?
In fact, like the previous Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Superman, Batman, etc., Shazam is a very famous superhero in DC comics and a member of the Justice League. It is worth mentioning that among the many heroes, he is powerful enough to fight against Superman. In terms of appearance, except for the color of the clothes and Superman, the clothing style is the same as Superman, and there are many similarities in abilities. However, he can control thunder and lightning, which can be simply understood as Shazam is a superman who can control thunder and lightning.
is Shazam’s first movie this time, as can be seen from the trailer, the movie will definitely introduce his source of power. In fact, DC Comics has developed for so many years, and there are many versions of Shazam's power source, but basically they met the old wizard "Shazam", and then passed the power to the young Billy Batson and the wizard died.
And this 14-15 year old boy Billy Batson is an orphan. He has changed several different foster families before, until he came to this new family, where he met his new partner Freddie Freeman , Mary Bromfield, Dara Dudley, Eugene Choi, Pedro Pena. This family is very important to Billy.
speculates from the trailer that the story of this movie should be similar to the comic "New 52" period version, so if you don't want to be spoiled, please don't read this version of the comic!
is the same as the story of the new 52. Billy and Freddy were bullied by classmates and got on the subway on the way to escape. They were sent to the "Rock of Eternity" where the old wizard was. This place can be said to be a kind of old hero. Live in the base now! It was here that he obtained the "Power of the Six Gods" awarded by the wizard Shazan. As long as he yells "Shazam", he can instantly transform from a young man into an omnipotent "mature" man-Shazam
Although Shazam can be 50-50 with Superman, his weakness is also Obviously, because Billy needs to shout "Shazam" every time to transform, the way to defeat him is not to let Billy say the word so that he can't transform. Or after transforming, find a way to make him call "Shazam" again, so that he will become a child. There are other weaknesses that have also appeared in the comics, such as huge lightning or some magic-related attacks are also his weaknesses. No wonder Black Adam and Dr. Shivana are so strong. However, Shazam will control lightning, but he will be injured after being struck by lightning. This setting always feels weird.
more than one shazan?
I mentioned earlier that "Shazam" Billy has other children in the foster family. It is important because in the comics, Shazam assigns the ability to every child in the foster family in order to defeat the enemy, so these children All are superheroes. In the comics, they are called "Surprise Family" (or Shazan family). These different "Shazans" are also transformed by shouting spells. At the same time, each "Shazan" represents a different "six gods". Power"
So in the movie this time, will they also transform into Shazan? We saw the list of actors on IMDB and found a very interesting place. In addition to these children's actors, there are also corresponding adult actors. For example, Eugene Choi is played by a young Asian boy, and there is another older Asian actor who is likely to play the role of the evolution, and other children also have such corresponding actors, so we It is speculated that the Shazam family may be seen in this movie.
