Just a thought, nowadays most people probably associate the name with the music app (I was surprised when I first heard of it, as I thought the name was a trademark of WB/DC, though don't know if there's more to the name than that), so how are WB likely to market it?

They can add the exclamation mark (Shazam!) if you look that up, every time that name pops up for that character, there’s an exclamation mark. Also because the Marvel female Shazam is now called Captain Marvel. So that’s part of why DC Shazam! Is able to market this. They can also say “DCs Shazam!”

How about "The Power of Shazam!" There was a mini series years ago with that name, and maybe using the exclamation mark plus "Power" in the title emphasises the comic book/superhero element. Perhaps also use the lightning bolt as an exclamation mark. (And also illustrating once more how DC have such great iconic logos for most of their characters.)

There is no legal reason that can't just call it "Captain Marvel"

It wouldn't be a reference to his name exactly, just the word he uses. |

WB should give up the movie, make Lobo instead.

Also want to add, Noah Schnapp who played Will Fromm Stranger Things would be a good Billy Batson.
