Zachary Levi is indeed ready for his role as "Shazam!," as the actor has shared a new photo on social media showing what he looks like in the superhero's hairdo.
Levi posted the photo on his official Twitter account Zacovfefe showing him sitting on a chair with a hairdresser blowdrying his slicked back hairstyle. Fans of Shazam! will note that this is a faithful attempt to recreate the Olympian-physique role model look of the superhero and Levi himself is looking more like the role he is playing as the production progresses.
The said photo could also indicate that filming is coming along smoothly and they are now shooting scenes involving Shazam! which could be action scenes. It is only a matter of time until more photos surface showing the set and production of "Shazam!" which is directed by David Sandberg.
Sandberg then teases what fans can expect in the near future of the production, and he even claimed that a full suit reveal is just around the corner. This means that everyone will finally get to see Levi in the red, yellow and white-themed Shazam! superhero costume, complete with a hooded cape perhaps should the designers copy the New 52 version of the superhero.
Sandberg also noted that the design will be similar or possibly identical to the one Shazam! wore in "Justice League: War" in which he fought alongside DC universe regulars like Batman, The Flash and Green Lantern. The 37-year-old director revealed this in a reply to a fan's comment on Reddit.
For those unfamiliar with Shazam!, the superhero is actually just a teenage boy named Billy Batson who was bestowed the power of mythological gods and icons due to his kind and caring nature. The names of the said gods and icons are Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles and Mercury which forms the acronym S.H.A.Z.A.M. that Batson will need to shout in order to transform into a muscular adult with superpowers on par with Superman's.
"Shazam!" will premiere on theaters in Apr. 5, 2019.
