50 Most Anticipated Movies Of 2019 - Ranked
13. Shazam!
Who would have thought that Shazam! would end up being one of the most dependable, enjoyable looking DC comic book movies in years?!
The comedy - curiously directed by Lights Out and Annabelle: Creation helmer David F. Sandberg of all people - looks like the antithesis of everything Zack Snyder built into the bones of the DCEU. It's light, humorous and broadly appealing (hell, it looks almost Marvel-like if you want to be extreme).
The cast looks great and while Zachary Levi might have seemed an odd choice for the hero initially, he's bulked up massively and his easy charisma is a good antidote to the grim miseries of the rest of DC's stable of superheroes. It's set apart for a reason, but those comparisons will always stick around and it's testament to the hype that Shazam! isn't wilting.
