We got our first official look at the Shazam! sequel during the DC FanDome 2021 event last October 16th! Check it out below, and screencaps of D.J.’s parts in the gallery!

We might not have seen D.J. fly as Superman, but we are all ready to finally see him as another superhero! DC Films Hub has reported that D.J. has officially joined the cast of the DC comic film, Shazam!, starring Zachary Levi. He will play the adult version of character Pedro Pena (played by Jovan Armand), who can share Billy’s power at Billy’s whim and become an adult Shazam-powered version of himself, who resembles a powerlifter, with extra amounts of super-strength. The film is scheduled to hit theaters on April 05, 2019. Exciting!

We all have a superhero inside us, it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out. In Billy Batson’s case, by shouting out one word—SHAZAM!—this streetwise 14-year-old foster kid can turn into the adult Super Hero Shazam, courtesy of an ancient wizard. Still a kid at heart—inside a ripped, godlike body—Shazam revels in this adult version of himself by doing what any teen would do with superpowers: have fun with them! Can he fly? Does he have X-ray vision? Can he shoot lightning out of his hands? Can he skip his social studies test? Shazam sets out to test the limits of his abilities with the joyful recklessness of a child. But he’ll need to master these powers quickly in order to fight the deadly forces of evil controlled by Dr. Thaddeus Sivana.
