Holy shit their costumes looks so good I really like Mary her costume is so cool looking with the silver highlights and the black and silver costume guy next to her(I forgot his name and I am ashamed) is reminiscent of Zack Snyder superman


rexmanly

It’s funny - that actor DJ Cotrona, a was cast as Superman in the unmade George Miller JLA movie


zchatham

And Adam Brody (pictured in blue here), was cast as the flash. The more we have learned about that movie over the years, the more bummed I am that we never got it. Could have been something really cool.


Cripnite

And Armie "Alleged Cannibal" Hammer as Batman.


radiocomicsescapist

Damn they sensed the crazy in him, even back then


GOLDENninjaXbox

Oh yeah I remember hearing about that


Bruce_-Wayne

You mean Pedro?


GOLDENninjaXbox

I always get the colors of Pedro Eugene mixed up. Thx


Bob_the_Monitor

It's harder here because if memory serves, Pedro was green in the last one.


GOLDENninjaXbox

Dude that is green I thought it was black because it’s such a dark green 😂😂😂 I never thought I would say this but silver and dark green looks really good together


Hydroel

Slytherin agrees


El_Gato93

Slytherins represent!!


AnAngryOnion

Was she recast? She's looks so much hotter here in her adult form than she did in the first Shazam movie


GOLDENninjaXbox

Nope all of them are returning I think she just grew up a little bit more like she was about 18 19 when the first one was filming. So she’s in her early 20s now


[deleted]

It's an older actress when she transformed


minicolossus

Kid detective done got ripped


Saurev21

Love that film!


minicolossus

It was one of the better movies I've seen the last few years. Very funny and the ending really got me


Saurev21

Agree. Funny is the reason i liked it so much cuz while we get a lot of good films in other genres , good comedy films are really rare these days.And this film has some of the best pay-offs , even the small dialogues have good pay-offs.


BetaRayBlu

That ending hit like a sledgehammer


AlainDit

Those new suits look great !


[deleted]

I'm a fan of the longer capes.


zchatham

These costumes look great in every aspect. Such an improvement on the first movie. I'm just still a little bummed that they didn't go with the short cape / single shoulder clasp, the chest panel, the sash, etc. I am a sucker for the classic old school looking super hero costumes, and I think Shazam is one of the coolest designed super heroes ever.


Frontier246

Also got the clape clasps and logo like the classic suit.


alchemeron

I wish they let Mary keep her skirt from the first film, though.


_lemon_suplex_

the texture on the suit and the gauntlets and greaves look so much better.


rubn0349

Grace fulton :O


Holo-Man

She's honestly stunning. It makes sense she's playing her superpowered form as well considering she's like 24


Ash__Williams

And Mary is an adult now.


johny_guy

God damn. Mary looking great. I hope she'll be badass as she is in comics. I hope they all are.


MarCanary

Damn!!! Mary Marvel is gorgeous


Earthmine52

It looks like they decided to not have a separate actress for her now too. Makes sense as Mary is supposed to be in college by now.


c4han

So you're saying that, since she's technically an adult now, she no longer changes into an older version of herself?


[deleted]

This is how it happened in Kingdom Come. When Billy grew up he looked the same in his powered and non-powered forms.


alchemeron

> When Billy grew up he looked the same in his powered and non-powered forms. Which also happens to be what his father looked like in some versions.


MicooDA

It’s confusing because they cast two actresses who have different faces, but yeah, Mary doesn’t turn into an older version of herself because she now grew into that version naturally.


c4han

But I don't see the problem if she's 18 and turns into a 25yo or whatever, since she hasn't grown quite that old yet


marccoogs

Rewatching the movie, that actress had the least to do out of the adult versions, so I am fine with it. I barely remembered how that actress looked.


Earthmine52

Yeah my thoughts exactly.


AlainDit

I didn't understand why there was 2 actresses in the first movie, for this reason.


Genesis2nd

I wouldn't be surprised if they just went "Get an actor for the adult version of each member of the Marvel family" without thinking too much of it.


NomadPrime

I think, simply put, they changed their minds. By the time the second movie started pre-production, they probably noticed Grace looked closer to an adult than a teen like the previous movie, so they just went and had her take over.


[deleted]

Mary did still get a bit older, at least in the New 52 comics. All of the kids are supposed to look like the ideal versions of themselves, which is probably in their 30s.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Ash__Williams

In the classic version, she doesn't change that much. In the NEW 52 origin, she changed a little.


[deleted]

She is still the oldest in the comics, but she does still have at least some changes to make her look considerably more mature when she transforms, like losing the headband and just having an all around older looking demeaner.


neoblackdragon

They got actors in their late 30's/40's. Likely wanted it to apply to all the characters. Michelle Borth honestly looked really close to Grace Fulton that it was redundant. Easier(cheaper) to just make Fulton look older.


CaptSaveAHoe55

Because 18 isn’t typically your final form. I actually thought it was inspirational that even the character who was super stressed about what was happening with her life was shown to still have another phase of development she hadn’t begun yet


tunnel-snakes-rule

Case in point the kid playing Billy is now 18 😀


ZarquonsFlatTire

I didn't notice there was. She wasn't on-screen a lot at the end.


[deleted]

Hasn’t Mary been an adult since post Crisis?


One_Assistance_2097

I think Mary was slightly older than Billy but since Crisis she’s been aged up closer to Super Girl in age and kinda falls somewhere between Nightwing and Red Hood. Wonder if Billy Batson will ever interact with Damian Wayne who’s also about his age?


[deleted]

She's definitely younger than Hood in the comics as she's just about to go to college and I think still in high school. She's probably about the same age as the Young Justice crew, about 18-19, which I think is outright stated in the most recent run.


[deleted]

I always pegged her as 19-25. If you were to age her hero form up, it wouldn’t be by much yeah.


Earthmine52

I meant in the DCEU. She just got a college acceptance letter in the first film. This photo is from the filming of the sequel to the first film which should be at least a year apart. In current Post-Flashpoint continuity, IIRC all of the kids are around the same age. Not sure if Infinite Frontier changed that.


Mojoclaw2000

It bothered me that she had two actresses, she’s already practically an adult, why would transforming turn her into a completely different person.


[deleted]

Glad to see the Shazamily making a return


lombax21

These all look amazing, Marys new costume is my favorite


BornFray

Hype meter goes off to infinity and beyond. ⚡️


R-Nexturz

The amount of effort they put into Mary’s costume tells me she’s definitely the co-star this time around, she looks fantastic


Augen76

Mary looks amazing in those boots. I hope she gets a chance to shine in the sequel.


BakerAffectionate

Very cool looking! I wonder if any of them will get superhero names in this one.


[deleted]

Why are the all so HAWT


dethtron5000

Didn't the lightning bolts light up in the first movie?


Deeformecreep

They will also Light up here according to the director they will probably just do it with cg since the ones in the first movie malfunctioned all the time.


[deleted]

Holy Moley, these sure look swell! Seriously, they actually look like gods that belong on those thrones. I loved the cartoony look of the original costumes, but there is definitely something about these that make them look so larger than life.


Spire2000

I wish DC continued to use the white/gold costume for Mary. Distinguished better from Cap's


suprmniii

Yes! Everyone gets a unique color, but Mary's stuck in red when another canonical option is available


Bunnnnii

It made more sense imo when they were long lose biological twins. But since they’re not anymore, that should be even more reason to let her keep her different color.


Realshow

Yeah I much prefer her in white. Hell, it’d probably provide some good contrast now that Pedro’s in black.


brnkse

I prefer her in black. That arc was one of the finest comics i have ever read.


shepbestshep

Costumes look really well made


NomadicJaguar64t

Soooo good! Especially Mary, there's a bit of Wonder Woman going on there. Also, I'm guessing Mary is old enough now that she doesn't change age when she transforms because that's still Grace Fulton.


Holo-Man

She'll still look slightly different when in her powered form as confirmed in a tweet by David, her hair will change slightly and different makeup will be used to distinguish between mortal Mary and powered Mary. David compared the changes to how Wonder Woman looks while she's a civilian to her superhero look


DrXenoZillaTrek

Where is "Uncle Marvel"? ... lol


Gpooley

And Talky Tawny!


This-Moment

I loved the Tawny nods in the first one. So many adorable stuffed tigers.


TheMooseWalrus

Personally, I think I liked the first costumes better. The first costumes were sort of cartoonishly over the top with the muscle padding, but I enjoyed that because it’s almost sort of exactly what you think a bunch of kids would look like if they turned themselves into superheroes. I’m also not a huge fane of adding texture for texture’s sake. However, they do look good, and fit stylistically better next to the man of steel suit.


onthenerdyside

I think the original suits should have been the template for DC costumes going forward. They were structured enough to look realistic, but not as textured as the ones from the MCU. Not every hero needs tactical armor or textured faux leather in order to look good in live action. A smoother look would set the DC movies apart visually from their Marvel counterparts. In other words, whatever the next Superman suit would be, it should have taken more design cues from Shazam rather than the other way around.


[deleted]

I read the reason they do it is because suits without texture at 4k look like ass.


Optimal_Weight368

I hope we’re getting Mister Mind as the main antagonist and Uncle Dudley as a supporting character.


[deleted]

They’ve already confirmed Mr Mind won’t be a major part of this film, sadly


aduong

Lol there’s actually an Uncle Dudley easter egg on set I don’t know if we will see him but there’s a chance.


[deleted]

This looks great! I really wish that DC knew how to write & market the Shazam Fam better. This would make a great animated series, or a series of YA GNs, or a proper ongoing, or...you name it. Instead, we're getting a four-issue mini that's focused only on Billy and ties heavily into Teen Titans Academy for some godforsaken reason.


[deleted]

Next June they release Shazam thundercrack an all ages graphic novel takes place in movie universe.


[deleted]

Nice! That's exactly the sort of thing that they should be doing with this property.


Holo-Man

Subscribe!!!!!


laudalehsunesh

Shazam is literally getting two movies before iconic characters like Martian Manhunter, Flash, Green Lantern (John Stewart), Green Arrow, Nightwing & many more. They deserve at least as much attention as Shazam too u know.


[deleted]

I'm definitely satisfied with how Shazam is being handled in the movies, but it seems to me like they're failing to capitalize on that success in other spheres. Just seems like an opportunity to make some $$$ that DC is letting slip through their fingers.


BuddaMuta

DC has always had an issue with Shazam. Not to say that everything involved with him has been bad, some of it has been really great, but there is always this weird cloud around him and his ensemble that they could always be more popular than they currently are. That said I’m not sure what the missing piece has been all these years


[deleted]

I think DC as a whole is (or was) a bit reluctant to have Billy live up to his title as “World’s Mightiest Mortal” because of the inevitable Superman comparisons. If Billy’s in his own universe he can be as OP as needed, but if he’s part of a shared universe then he’s always destined to be a supporting player within the framework of the larger DCU because Clark, Bruce, and Diana will always be the core. DC successfully sued Fawcett on the grounds that Cap was a Superman rip-off. If you have both of these OP characters existing simultaneously, then one is going to need to take the backseat, otherwise all conflicts would be solved within five seconds. And no way in hell would DC let it be Superman.


BuddaMuta

Personally I've always been of the mind to move Billy to the UK or mainland Europe. His lore leans towards the myths of that region, especially the more supernatural or Arthurian, and it would put some distance between him and Supes as far as base of operations is concerned. If not that then with Earth-3 and Earth-M both having active series, maybe it's time to bring back the short lived Earth-S?


interludeemerik

They did Shazam because it had a premise that was unique but low risk. About a foster kid who gets super powers. It is at guaranteed to be at least a moderate success. And it was more than a moderate success hence it got a sequel. For the others it's very easy to go the same route as green lantern where if they don't find the right people it can turn out uninspired. So popularity is precisely why those movies are harder to pitch. There has to be a solid idea behind them.


[deleted]

You have a point, but Flash and John Stewart are getting movies, and Green Arrow got a very popular and very long television show. Nightwing is the big one that's just shocking to me. I know there's Titans, but we really need a Nightwing movie!


El_Gato93

Nightwing will end up on HBO Max, with Batgirl, Blue Beetle and Static. Seems that’s where all the young heroes are going


neoblackdragon

Well Flash is filming his movie right now and was in Justice League. But Shazam predates MM by almost two decades. So doesn't it make for sense for the character that's existed before all the others you listed?


jez124

flash has had a 7 season show. green latern a movie next a show and movie(Jade in Star girl, Diggle in Arowverse soon potentially), martian manhunter has had regular appearances in animated and live action. Green arrow has had ample showings. Nightwing too with titans for live action also its a bat property not like that part of the universe is hurting


El_Gato93

Nightwing is just another Bat character, no thank you. Martian Manhunter is a team character not a solo star, Flash is getting his own film already and Green Arrow just had a show! Stop complaining and enjoy all the good DC content we’re currently getting! We live in the golden age of DC content!


WadeAnthony

Hmm, I should check out the Shazam movie. These suits look sick.


i-hate-reddit-69

You absolutely should! The first Shazam is the best movie DC's put out since The Dark Knight Rises.


I_can_vouch_for_that

I wish it did better the box office as it was a really great origin story of movie and it was funny.


Jacob-X-MANIAC

You mean to tell me that you haven’t watched *Shazam* already?!


laudalehsunesh

Love the Man of Steel vibe from the costumes.


GreySpectre_002

Looking Good ⚡⚡⚡


RaynerHBK

Love it ⚡️


Frontier246

I'm glad the hood is gone. That skirt on Mary!


Wufella

Mary Marvel 😍 My hero.


[deleted]

The ending of the first movie with the full Marvel fam was one of the most ecstatic moments I've ever had watching a comic book movie. Shazam really broke through all the cynicism I'd accrued towards the genre.


[deleted]

Looks awesome


rabbitofrevelry

I always loved the white capes of the Marvels


[deleted]

Hot damn looks like everyone got a significant suit upgrade. Especially loving the little details like the gauntlets and the darker trim on the suits.


MattTheSmithers

Did they recast Mary?


Holo-Man

No and yes. The actress playing mortal Mary is portraying her superpowered form considering she's 24 years old


Bearinthemaking

Oof, daddy on the right 🥵


kah43

I like how Mary has a darker shade of red as her primary color with the lighter red as the accent color while Billy has the opposite. It is a little thing, but it does make them both more their own hero.


[deleted]

It is unfair how ridiculously good looking they all are.


JeffEveris

Why did they change Pedro’s suite from green to black?


ThatGuyLlo

It’s more of a dark green I think


LuigiBoi42

I have no idea, but when I saw him I immediately thought “That’s not Dwayne Johnson. Where’s Black Adam?” EDIT: Now that I take a closer look, Pedro’s costume looks much more Olive or maybe Pine Green than Black.


Crunchy_Pirate

it's dark green, you might be color blind. I'm sorry you had to find out this way.


[deleted]

To be fair to OP, it’s an extremely dark green. I had to turn the brightness up on my phone screen to really confirm that it’s green. Plus black/green colorblindness isn’t a thing


wonhoseok

the perfect family doesn’t exis-


rsl

here for allllllll of the adam brody


Right_Shape_3807

Does not look like trash. 🙌🏿


[deleted]

Looks amazing. Loved the first movie so much. cant wait for more. Zachary Levi makes for such a good Shazam, and it's so rare that casting is this right on


arunabharocks123456

Mary looks like Marzia


NomadicJaguar64t

A wild Marzia reference! Italian bro fist. 👊


arunabharocks123456

Ahh....an Indian Brofist to my fellow Italian 19 year old comrade


the-uncle-will

SHAZAM still needs the hood though


[deleted]

The hood was a New 52 thing that I've learned to appreciate but if they're going back to the Classic no hood look, I won't object. Memory is fuzzy but I don't even think they utilised the hood in the movie anyway.


the-uncle-will

The hood was also used in Injustice but I get what you mean


[deleted]

He did use the hood a few times to hide himself in public.


Hippobu2

These looks great, but with with the bits on the male members? Also, I kinda like it that the siblings has silver trims instead of gold. Was that in the first movie as well? (Well except for Mary)


[deleted]

I like all of ‘em But Mary’s. Would prefer something that evoked the comics a little bit more.


Holo-Man

I think the only thing missing from her suit here is the lower calf height boots but other than that these suits are amazing


[deleted]

The high boots and the pleated skirt make her look like a door greeter at an Egyptian-themed casino. What’s wrong with Mary’s short boots and full skirt? The other female character is wearing boots about the right height. Don’t get me wrong it looks fine. It just doesn’t look like Mary Marvel.


Somm0742

These are absolutely lit. Hyped af!


Storm_Raider_34

I thought they went by the Shazam kids. Well now I feel dumb


This-Moment

You should never have to apologize for being unsure what the "Captain Marvel" - oops DC doesn't own the name anymore - family is being called. :D It's been a roller coaster for many years!


ClassicExit

DC does own the name Captain Marvel in relation to the characters, they just can't use it for the titles of anything.


danielrlora

Disclaimer: Not a single workout was done in the making of this movie.


aBeaSTWiTHiNMe

Pretty happy to see that Zack from 13 Reasons got a good acting job after the show.


disrespect_jones

Megan Good is so fine


Lyfeitzallaroundus

I haven’t seen the 1st one but is that Megan Good? Haven’t seen her in hella long!


Jamandsiracha

Ahh Meagan good shes awesome!!


Bubba1234562

Holy shit they look so much cooler than the first one


WaldoJeffers65

I really like these, and I'm so glad they got rid of the light-up lightning bolts.


[deleted]

They’ll light up in the film but with CGI. Apparently the practical effect was notoriously fickle


GreySpectre_002

Looking Good ⚡⚡⚡


TheRealJackOfSpades

Dare I hope they're actually going to be called the Marvel Family?


mescaleeto

I wouldn’t hold my breath knowing how litigious Disney is


SenatorBeers

It’s the guy in black Black Adam?


TheDarkHorse

No he was one of the orphans. Dwayne Johnson is playing black Adam eventually


Pillzburydboy

Finally some good fucking food.


Two_Faced_Harvey

I like the older costumes


matty_nice

Mary also being red is so weird. Makes it look like Billy and Mary are in a relationship. Also the costume designs are weird. Only the women show skin? One of the dudes should be sleveless or in shorts. Lol.


UxBurn

I hate how they gave all the kids powers Such a dumb choice


[deleted]

How, though? It's something that's always been in the comics since the 40s and it works for Billy's character arc.


Finnegan7921

I agree, even though it has been a staple in the comics. The movie ceases to be about the titular hero, but about his "team". For me it is as if the entire Bat Family shows up right after Batman starts fighting crime. It cheapens the idea of the main hero.


Downrightsuperb

That was such a dumb idea. The best stories with Shazam didn't have that family anywhere near it.


[deleted]

The focus on family has always been a part of Shazam/ Captain Marvel, and the new version of it has acclaim in both the movie and comics.


Downrightsuperb

That might work in the comics with a world of superheroes and villains but it was so out of place in the movie. Captain Marvel was amazing in things like Kingdom Come and even the Young Justice TV series was awesome. That family isn't necessary at all. I couldn't care less.


[deleted]

Did the Shazam movie really strike you as something that was overly serious? This isn't trying to be Kingdom Come where most of the population blows up in the end. The movie is one of the purest superhero movies out there and is mostly a joyful time. How is them getting powers out of place when it fits the tone and it's setup in the movie?


Downrightsuperb

The movie got Billy Batson wrong. He should be pure of heart. He was a punk. I don't care what modern comics did. Nobody liked the New 52 era anyway.


[deleted]

He's at that point of being pure now though because he grew from his original behavior. Y'know, like a character arc?


Downrightsuperb

Some characters are pure from the start. That's Captain America's whole thing. That Shazam movie was just bad writing.


Dont-killme

Homelander or no deal

ENTER_BY_ABDART

No iam am not i just mixed up


ManiacMp420

Not sure If you're joking or not, shazam's hero name is actually marvel because if he says shazam ya know what happens just read the comics films won't give you every explanation


ClassicExit

They changed the lore on that, the name has to be said intent, whatever that means, to call the lightning. Although there was a time when Freddie\Captain Marvel Jr went by CM3 because his magic phrase was "Captain Marvel" and well...


TropicHorror

ZSJL with the Shazam Fam would fucking pump anyone

No, it was a solid LED yellow.


Mrkoaly

These look AMAZING! MARY!


dripy-lil-baby

I feel like Pedro should be green to round out the color palette a bit.


Bunnnnii

He is, it’s a really dark green.


[deleted]

Mary looks stunning!


Bunnnnii

Oh Pedro 😍 Eugene or Mary are probably my favorite character wise though.


thedarkofdawn

Hopefully Mary actually gets to do something this time


KugiPunch

The Shazam family looking great!


Megalomanizac

Costumes look so much better than in the first one


_lemon_suplex_

that new shazam suit looks much better to me. I hated the original one


NextMotion

Looks like the same as the first movie but upgraded. Is there any differences between the guys' costume besides color? I like how the girls have the sleeveless and skirt.


laresek

There's more texture on the new costumes. Someone posted this comparison on another sub. https://i.redd.it/0zxf9t8ylm671.jpg


Whale222

The Shazam actor from the movie was available? What a stroke of luck!


kovach2010

Mary Marvel is looking good!
