I still can't get over Zachary Levi's muscle-padded costume.

They're too good to be real, they're BossLogics.

This looks so different. It looks like it doesn't even belong in the DCEU. I like Levi but physically he was not the right choice.

He looks like he'ss in a Halloween costume with blow up muscles and shoulder pads.

I'm getting a real Joel Schumacher vibe....

Don't worry, guys. CGI to the rescue. They should hire the team who removed Henry Cavill's moustache. They are probably the only ones skilled enough to make Zachary Levi believable as Shazam.

I am dying to see what he looks like after post-production. He really looks so silly now with those padded muscles.

He keeps insisting they're real..... 

Poor Chuck, he still wants to look like Captain Awesome.

Looks pretty much like I thought it would, looks funny and silly and that's what the character is for the most part.

Shazam is the Ant-man of the DC Universe.

Yeah, sounds about right. lol

Wow. Looks like a turd.

Wylde, not that I do not believe you, but can you hit me with a link to where Zachary Levi says the muscles are real?

He was getting harassed a lot over early pictures of how bulky the suit looked so he started posting shirtless pics of himself on twitter in his defense, lol.

Ha! Okay, just googled and sure, he's got some muscles, but it is nowhere near enough to fill out a skin-tight suit.

Come on, get real, Zachary. Henry Cavill is like twice his size and doesn't even come a mile of the padded suit. What a joke.

Chuck is a lanky dude, he put on like 20 muscles and ran around in a padded suit with kids like he was Ahnuld in Jingle all the Way.

I gotta ask, am I the only one who while watching this trailer felt like somebody saw Big with Tom Hanks and thought "What if we remade this but this time the kid also gets super powers!" there was even a carnival scene in the trailer! Watching Chuck run around in a spandex suit with a young boy as a sidekick reminds me so much of how I thought Big was super creepy but they've topped it with SHAZAM! This movie is gonna bring the creepers out in droves....

As much as I think this movie looks like it's going to be crap and I want to hate on Zachary Levi all day long, your take on this is pretty dark and it never even crossed my mind.

Really, it never occurred to you? How many movies have you seen about twelve year old boys turning into grown men? For me that list was one movie, Big.

But in case you don't remember, a nearly thirty year old Elizabeth Perkins spends most of her time in that movie trying to fuck him.

How dare you try to ruin Big!

That said, yes, this movie looks more creepy than innocent and charming

Did I really spoil Big for you or is what I said something you already remembered from your last viewing? We both know that Susan got way too excited when Josh told her he gets to be on top.

But at least Big had the appearance of innocence, Shazam however seems like a lot of child predators are gonna be inspired to start running around trying to lure them into windowless vans on Halloween with a padded muscle superhero suit and a shiny new Shazam! catch phrase when the candy comes out. While watching the Shazam trailer, I instantly started hearing Stephen Lynch's Halloween as the soundtrack in my head and that's fucked up......

No, Big can’t be ruined, I just don’t appreciate the attempt.

I didn't realize Big was such a holy relic to you, many 80's films are quite sacred to me as well. I apologize.

Abe doesn't understand this because he's never seen a movie older than him.

HA! I actually have seen Big. SUCKA! It was on TV and I happened to watch it, LONG LONG time ago.

Of all the Comic Con trailers, this is the only one I've seen that looks remotely entertaining.

It was a giant crop of crap this year wasn't it? I can't remember one trailer that wowed me or even stuck in my memory after a day.

Yeah they all sucked. And outside of Shazaam, they all looked the same: Dark, moody, crap.

This was ok to me, not as good as Wonder Woman or Aquaman.

Every damned kid went Big like Tom Hanks and it was so damned weird.....
