First official image. I think it will actually separate itself pretty well from the "DCEU". But probably gross more around Ant-Man?

So it is a child in the body of a superhero. And his arch nemesis is played by The Rock.

Why is John Cena not Shazam? That was a layup, a hanging curveball, an empty net goal. I like Levy and I’m sure he will be fine, but what does he bring to the table? But DC doesn’t think of things like perfect casting that will draw in audiences. They just want that Marvel money A$AP.

Yeah, Henry Cavill and Gal Gadot were terrible castings. And a child in a man's body doesn't scream Zach Levi.

It has potential as it may be quirkier than other DC fare.

At the moment it looks like a cross between Kick-Ass and a DC television series.

No. Not awesomeness. Things go to TV because they're not good enough for the cinema. And Kick-Ass was not a superhero, he was a wannabe superhero. Shazam! looks shite.

Even films with terrible casting can make loads of money. Just look at Star Wars. Most of the cast cannot act.

Gal Gadot did a great job as Wonder Woman, but I doubt much more thought went into it then “we need a hottie that nerds will recognize but not cost a lot of money.”

Great job? Who are you trying to kid? Did you watch Wonder Woman? That accent. lol. That chest. lol. She constantly looked like she didn't know what to do. She has a maximum of two facial expressions. Awful casting. One of the worst in recent memory. Jason Momoa is the only shittier casting that I can think of.

Hard to say what the potential of this is without seeing a trailer. Hopefully, after they show it at CC it gets released online because why wouldn't they? Even if Aquaman turns out being good this needs all the hype it can get.

I only worry about this because of the packed schedule in the beginning of 2019. And it's coming only a few weeks before IW2. So I hope it doesn't get lost in the shuffle. But I think it may be different enough, and marketed enough to not be.

It is also up against Pet Cemetery on the same weekend.

Not easy to find a good slot for a comic book film in 2019.

Jan has Hellboy and Glass
Feb has Dark Pheonix
March has Captain Marvel
May has Infinity War
June has Gambit
July has Spider-man
August has New Mutants
November has WW1984
December is too competitive

Perhaps October would work but DC may think its too close to WW. Otherwise, June or September could be candidates - though doubt anyone wants to go up against IT Chapter 2.

So April isnt too bad.

Shazam! is hardly a tent-pole release. It will be lucky to make $130m total. New Mutants will make less than $70m, so August is wide open too, leaving Aug-Oct pretty open for it if DC wanted to get the most from it, then again April is also open so it's fine where it is. And IT: Chapter 2 surely will have no bearing on a superhero flick.

I actually like Mamoa as Aquaman. The character badly needed a rebranding, and since Roman Reigns isn't ready for Hollywood, cast the person who looks most like him.

I'm curious which trailer will garner more attention on Saturday. This or Aquaman... I'd assume Aquaman due to the name, but this is a sleeper.
