SHAZAM!: COMIENZO DE RODAJE

David F. Sandberg, director de la adaptación cinematográfica de SHAZAM! ha subido esta foto en Instagram anunciando el comienzo de rodaje. La película se rueda en Toronto con Zachari Levi como protagonista, el cual explica al superhéroe como una mezcla de Superman y Big.

“I can't tell you much, as you can probably imagine, but what I can say is I am just out of my mind excited! I get to do my version of Big, basically. It’s like Superman meets Big, and that’s just so fun. I get to be a superhero that’s excited about being a superhero, and I think that’s refreshing. It’s not glum, and like, ‘Oh, I have to save the world again.' So I think it’s all really gravy.”

El villano, Dr. Sivana, será interpretado por Mark Strong, actor que ya hizo del villano Siniestro de DC Comics en la denostada película de Green Lantern.

"I'm playing an evil bastard called Doctor Sivana, they are always the best characters to play, the most fun. I was Sinestro in Green Lantern, which I though was a rather good film, but it didn't do what they wanted. So I feel like I've got unfinished business in the DC world. I played a pretty evil character in that, and he was meant to get even worse in the second one but that never happened, but I think I'm going to get the chance to do that in Shazam!, I hope so. It's a funny film, it's about a young boy who can become a superhero but still remains a young boy so there's elements of Big, there's elements of Stranger Things. I think originally the comic outsold Superman in the 1940s, I've been training like a mad man, I'm about to go over and see the stunt guys, I've been trying all of these harnesses on, and I think I'm going to be doing lots of flying around and firing electricity out of my hands.''

Shazam! se estrena el 5 de abril del 2019.
