He goes as far as to assert that it will be one of the most lighthearted films yet in the DCEU to be released. So perhaps they really are serious about a tonal reset after Justice League and Flashpoint? TEXT: “The big attraction for me with that character is the fact that every kid dreams of being Superman, right? I mean I certainly did, and (Billy Batson) is a kid that gets that chance. He gets to become the superhero. So, it’ll be big with superpowers in a way. In terms of what people can expect, I think this will be one of the more fun or lighthearted movies so far in the DC universe. It certainly will be a departure.” screenrant.com/shazam-movie-dceu-tone/ |

well........flashpoint really doesn't have a set date, so i'd count that out, but after JL......yeah....even prior to BvS they had intended to "lighten things up" around JL.
besides, it's about a kid getting superpowers in a world filled with superheroes......how do you not try and emulate "Big" or something?

That's a good sign for Shazam at least. It seems like a lighthearted approach would work.

That’s a smart play. It’ll also be smart if they can add Superman in the film to mentor Billy Batson. This could potentially make up for Superman not getting a sequel yet and just giving the audience a chance to see a proper Superman in a lighthearted movie.

This movie having a different tone is a good thing. |

I’m just hearing that The Rock may not be in Shazam |

That whole series of dtv short films nailed it. I'd like it if they borrowed from those. |

They are just too stubborn to want to make live action versions. They all want to put their stamp on the story rather than go for the good movie. |

Captain Marvel/Shazam has always been a lighthearted character, so this is no surprise.

I recall the president of New Line stating back in 2014 that the Shazam movie would have a sense of "fun" in it, and this was back when BvS was still being filmed.

Daniel Sandberg is having a great time with Shazam.
Some people just don't get jokes.
