"Thunder Shazan!" released on April 5th. "(Hereinafter referred to as "Shazam") is similar to "Aquaman", both inherited the new direction of the DC Universe-making a good single-player super British movie. After watching the film, many people were also deeply impressed by this young superhero with well-developed limbs and simple mind. Shazam is like Batman and Superman from DC. His true identity is Billy Batson, a 14-year-old boy. His actor Zachary Levi can’t help but ridicule: Shazam doesn’t need to be very good. Money or a good understanding of technology can become a great hero, fulfilling the old saying "Heroes come from youth".
"Shazam" IMDb scored 8.3 points, Rotten Tomatoes scored 92% freshness, word of mouth is even better than the previous hit "Aquaman", but because Shazam did not appear in the "Justice League", relative to domestic audiences, The recognition is very low, which indirectly led to the box office of "Shazam" being released just over 200 million yuan (until the deadline) in five days. However, the appearance of Superman at the end of the film indicates that Shazam will increase interaction in the sequel or other DC movies to strengthen his position. At the same time, the film’s producer Peter Safran has revealed that there may be a relationship between Shazam and members of the Justice League. With cross-interaction, it is not impossible for him to join the Justice League in the future. Due to the limited length of the film, many secrets of the "alternative" superhero Shazam, whose main role is cool supernatural power and hilarious S2, have not been fully unfolded. What "eggs" are there on the "idiot" Shazam who has an worrying IQ? Here will be shown one by one.
young actors develop too fast to give birth to the next movie
recently, according to foreign media reports, "Thunder Shazan! "It has been determined that a sequel will be developed. The first screenwriter Henry Gayden will return. Director David F. Sandberg and producer Peter Safran are also expected to return. Producer Peter Safran believes that the sequel will be launched soon, and revealed that the age of the young actors is the key reason. The development of foreign children is very rapid. Just look at the classic series "Harry Potter". One is still an immature boy, and in the next one or two years later, he is likely to become a 1.8-meter-tall guy. "We have to shoot a sequel quickly. The actors playing Billy and his foster siblings are not full. They are 18 years old, but they will grow up quickly. If they appear as children again in the sequel, then the film must be prepared as soon as possible."
Exclusive Highlights
Originally this was a film where Shazam and Black Adam met and clashed. But the producer decided to divide the film into two original films, so that the two characters each have their own space to play.
In the fight in the toy store, Batson ran across a huge piano keyboard. This plot is based on the 1988 movie "The Big Shot" starring Tom Hanks. The two films also tell a boy who grew up overnight. Adult story.
Mark Strong publicly stated that he liked playing the villain Shivana in the film, calling him an "evil bastard" and said that playing these roles is always fun.
Henry Cavill failed to play Superman in the film because of a schedule conflict with "Mission Impossible 6: Total Disintegration", so the Superman played by others did not show his face.
"Rock" Dawn Johnson once had the opportunity to play Shazam or his rival Black Adam. He asked his fans which role he should play, and all fans chose Black Adam. "Black Adam" starring him is expected to be released next year.
Batterson shows his love for tigers throughout the film: he likes to stuff tiger dolls, and when Shazan wears a cloak, he also has tigers on his buckle. This is for his ally in the comics-the magic tiger Tawky Tribute to Mr. Tawny.
In 1939, when Superman made his debut in the first issue of Action Comics, other publishers immediately rushed to launchHis superhero role. Shazam (known as Captain Marvel before being under the DC banner) was created by cartoonists CC Parker and Bill Peck for DC's rival Fawcett Comics. He made his debut in 1940's "Genius Comics 2". And it quickly grew to be one of the most popular among the many superman heroes of that era, and the sales of Shazam comics once surpassed the Superman series. Unfortunately, Fawcett Comics stopped publishing the Shazam series in 1953 because of a copyright dispute with DC, because DC has always believed that Shazam is an imitation of Superman. So in "Thunder Shazan! In ", Shazam always takes pleasure in teasing Superman.
junior high school, mentality second
Shazam is parasitic on 14-year-old junior high school student Billy Batson. Unfortunately, his "Solomon's Wisdom" is estimated to be due to arrears, so the Shazan in the film is extremely praised. Most of the time, they are in the "idiot" state of "secondary". In the DC heroes, Shazam’s education is not the lowest. It is said that "Sea King" only has elementary school education.

Interpretation of Easter Eggs
villain Shivana is a scientist obsessed with occultism in the comics. He spent his life searching for the existence of magic, but the movie has a slight difference in that Shivana’s right eye is injected with the power of the seven deadly sins. He gained superpowers. In the comics, Shivana’s right eye was because he released Black Adam and was hit by magic lightning. As a result, he obtained a magic eye that can see through magic and phantoms. In the climax part of the
movie, Shazam gave the power of Shazam to several of his brothers and sisters, so that they also have the ability to transform into Shazam.
