The trailer shows a lanky Billy Batson turning into the mighty Shazam. Shazam, to be honest, is a clumsy superhero. He flies into windows, makes an ATM machine malfunction by manipulating electricity and bangs into people with his hyperspeed. But then finally, he comes into his own as a genuine superhero. 

There's a sequence where Shazam saves a bus full of people and takes on his arch enemy, Dr. Thaddeus Sivana. Dr Sivana is an inventor and industrialist who himself was summoned by the wizard Shazam as a child, but was not chosen as his champion.

Zachary Levi himself took to Instagram to post a short clip from the trailer:

Shazam! looks like it could be a lot more fun owing to its humour element. Shazam is an unapologetically funny superhero, and that's someone we could root for. The film, directed by  David F. Sandberg, will hit theatres on April 5, 2019.
