Directed by David F. Sandberg and written by Henry Gayden and Darren Lemke, Shazam will be DC’s next film after Aquaman, telling the story of a young boy, Billy Batson, who can transform into an adult superhero by uttering the magic word “Shazam!”, an acronym of the names Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles and Mercury, from which Billy derives his abilities in his adult form.
