Shazam! (originally known as Captain Marvel) was the subject of Hollywood’s first ever superhero film adaptation, Republic Pictures’ Adventures of Captain Marvel in 1941.
Shazam! in 2019 grossed a impressive worldwide total of over $366 million.
Both DC Comics and Marvel Comics once had a hero called Captain Marvel. Around 2011, DC Comics renamed their Captain Marvel to Shazam, to avoid further disputes. Both franchises released film adaptations in 2019.
The character of Shazam champions an ancient wizard who possesses “wisdom of Solomon, strength of Hercules, stamina of Atlas, power of Zeus, courage of Achilles, and speed of Mercury.”
Shazam! Fury of the Gods represents the twelfth film in the DC Extended Universe and is the first DC Extended Universe movie to use the DC Studios name.
In the lead up to filming Shazam! actor, Zachary Levi, dyed his hair black and stacked on nine kilograms of muscle. However, Levi was still too slender and had to wear a padded Shazam suit.
