Zachary Levi had already compared Shazam! to Big before the trailer, but the footage shown really doubles down on those vibes, and it's certainly no bad thing.

Big is a movie that's absolutely bursting with charm and sweetness, as well as being genuinely funny too, and with the obvious parallels in terms of what happens to the lead character it's good to see Shazam! adopting a similar approach, making it feel like Big With Superheroes rather than just another superhero movie.
