New costumes for Shazam! Fury of the Gods have been heavily teased, building up anticipation for the movie that is still set far in the future of 2023. As promised, David F Sandberg shares a picture of the superheroes decked in their new attire.
If exclusive movie cuts are to be leaked anyway, it might as well be from him, the director jokes.
Captured are Zachary Levi, Adam Broody, Meagan Good, Ross Butler, D J Cotrona and Grace Fulton who play the superhero-adult versions of the Marvel Family. Fulton who played Darla Dudley in the first Shazam! movie will also be playing the adult version in the sequel.
Now, a close look at the costumes!
In Shazam! the Marvel Family is able to transform into their superhero personas when Billy Barton summons the powers of Shazam and shares it with his adopted family. Their newly acquired powers help them to beat Dr Sivana.
But besides their superpowers, the siblings are also transformed physically with their brightly coloured superhero armours adding to the pizzaz. In the sequel, the suits have certain gone through some modification – the jarring bright colours have been replaced by more somber tones and a fabric we definitely deem foolproof.
The costume’s glowing lightning symbol is also remade with metal, which is another traditional move.
Fan response on Twitter however, is a mix bag. While some have applauded the carefully crafted suits, others have called it out for being unnecessarily edgy. What do you think?
Other than the costumes, plot details about Shazam! Fury of the Gods are still being kept under wraps. Filming has started for the young ones – Asher Angel, Jack Dylan Grazer, Faithe Herman, Jovan Armand and Ian Chen who have returned to set, given the need to patch up scenes for continuity issues.
What we do know is that we will have a baller ensemble of villains to face with Rachel Zegler, Hellen Mirren and Lucy Liu joining in as daughters of Atlas.
This light-hearted DC franchise, which strayed from its roots, but to good effect, has won hearts that is reflected in critics consensus, box office results and of course, fan response. And is charging up to do so again in Shazam! Fury of the Gods.
Oh, what is that – You want the sequel right away? You know what word to say – Shazam!
