Fans of "Shazam!" appear to be faster than lightning when it comes to photo and video leaks of the upcoming superhero movie's set production, as premature reveals are now a-dime-a-dozen long before the filming even gets wrapped up.
This time around, the leak is a video of actor Zachary Levi in his Shazam! costume in what appears to be a bus rescue scene from the upcoming movie. The video also came from a fan named Jeremy Lawrence who was just lucky enough to be living near where the bus rescue scene was being filmed, and was soon posted to Twitter faster than Levi can shout "Shazam!"

The video also shows Levi turning around in his "Shazam!" costume and revealing a full frontal view of his yet-to-be-revealed bright caped and hooded red spandex. This is the first time the "Shazam!" costume can be seen in full frontal view before the official reveal of course, albeit it's a little hard to distinguish the details due to the distance of the camera being used. At the moment, it also seems that the movie is coming along nicely and in schedule and the production team are filming the action sequences first, which means Levi will be around in costume for quite a while. An official costume reveal also may just be around the corner due to the frequency of the unsanctioned leaks from fans and film crews alike.
Excited to see Mark Strong as Dr Sivana in #Shazam (even if it is in a BTS long shot from the Toronto set) pic.twitter.com/PaZ8S6Pe0N

It also appears to be a different angle of the same bus scene, particularly a view from the ground this time showing a confrontation between Doctor Sivana and Shazam! This could also be the first time the two will see each other in the movie and is bound to be a tense scene. Though it had been leaked already, it might still look different after post-production techniques and camera effects.
"Shazam" is set to be released on Apr. 5, 2019.
