Does Blue Beetle have a chance for Box office success

Does Blue Beetle have a chance for Box office success

, , , , , , , , , , , , 23

Blue Beetle has the potential to become the next mainstream superhero as he is already popular in the comics and he looks cool enough to attract casual fans as well. However, there is a problem. Warner Brothers have had a string of disasters, including the shenanigans that happened with Black Adam, the cancellation of Batgirl, and all the drama going on with DCU. These events could turn the upcoming projects into collateral damage. Additionally, the personal lives of actors have also alienated fans, as Amber Heard and Ezra Miller’s recent controversies put the future of The Flash and Aquaman in peril. While I loved Shazam! Fury of the Gods, its failed spin-off, and lack of promotion disappointed me. The events that happened with Warner Brothers, DC, and HBO also upset many fans. I have talked to fans who wanted to watch the movie but didn’t bother because they feel like the franchise has an uncertain future due to DCU. Although we were supposed to have a movie where Shazam finally

The problem with making a big announcement about how you’re about to revamp the entire DC Cinematic Universe is that it’s not an instantaneous decision. You can’t just remove the last few films being produced under the old guard and replace them with new movies equally far along in production. So though Shazam: Fury of the Gods tries to make a big deal out of itself, the sad truth is that this long-delayed movie arrived too late. We really hope it’s not stuffed with sequel-bait scenes, because we know those aren’t coming. What will save this film is if it’s a good stand-alone flick, and the first Shazam was fun, so…who knows. If you remember back that far, the ending to the first Shazam brought things into the “Marvel Family” era and turned all his friends into superheroes. With that many, they’re gonna need a real challenge to keep things interesting! Enter the Daughters of Atlas: a group of controlling, despotic goddesses who are displeased with Billy and his family

WB hasn’t always known what it’s doing with the DC universe, but one of the few times they got it right was Shazam. It was the inverse of the grimdark Snyder movies they were known for at the time: a family-oriented comedic romp about a kid who finds a way to become a superhero when shouting a magic word. He turns into a muscle-padded Zachary Levi but still has the mentality of his child self, leading to a lot of wacky moments. It’s been a long time since Warner Bros released the first Shazam movie, and there’s a major problem with that: its stars are all supposed to be kids. You can just pull a Stranger Things and pretend nothing happened, but that’s even harder here, as Billy Batson’s power lets him turn into a grown-up. As I’ve said before, eventually these movies are just going to be one adult turning into another adult. Shazam was originally known as “Captain Marvel” and he found a way to share his powers

Black Adam stars Dwayne “The Rock” John as he play the role of Shazam‘s arch-nemesis.  People who grew up reading DC comics knew Black Adam as a Super Villain. In Cartoons, he is also not a good guy, but this spin-off is a prequel before he becomes corrupted by greed for power. DCEU is currently dealing with controversial actors like Ezra Miller and Amber Heard getting canceled, but I won’t worry about this film because  “The Rock” has a cleaner reputation and barely had a scandal. His portrayal in the Trailer is heroic, so I wonder if his eventual heel turn will be in this movie. Fans of Legends of Tomorrow are still mourning its cancellation. We can see some characters from that show make an appearance but are played by different actors. Hawkman,Doctor Fate and Isis are both part of the character roster of this film. Black Adam Official Trailer The Trailer portrays Black Adam more as an anti-hero than a villain. He saves lives, but he also kills

This Is The Last Shazam Trailer….We Think

Warner Bros has released what they claim will be the last trailer for Shazam. We’ve got another month to go, and it’s Warenr Bros we’re dealing with, so I’m skeptical of that claim. Don’t be surprised if another trailer pops up between April 4 and now, but for the time being, here’s the “final” one… The character with the lightning-bolt chest, played in adult form by Zachary Levi, is actually Billy Batson, a small boy who has the ability to turn into Shazam. He’s still Billy inside, and if you were a kid who could turn into a grown-up — a superhero no less — what would you do first? Billy does what we all would’ve done…..the thumbnail displayed below is from a scene where he confidently walks into a mini-mart and orders “your best beer, please.” We like what we see in this trailer; a lot of well-worn superhero tropes get skewered on this kid’s path to superheroics. He attempts to leap a tall building in a single bound

Shazam! The Short New Trailer

We have yet to see a trailer for WB’s Shazam! that we don’t love. The character with the lightning-bolt chest, played in adult form by Zachary Levi, is actually Billy Batson, a small boy who has the ability to turn into Shazam. He’s still Billy inside, and if you were a kid who could turn into a grown-up — a superhero no less — what would you do first? Billy does what we all would’ve done….. While most comic book superheroes were originally marketed to children, Shazam! was the comic that made it explicit. The central character was a literal child that obtained the power to turn into a full-fledged adult superhero, living the dream of every pint-sized squirt reading the rag. Said character’s super-alias was originally Captain Marvel, and remained so until very recently. As you know because you’ve seen the trailers and ads, Marvel also has a Captain Marvel, and the existence of the two characters led to a trademark dispute that lasted generations. This was the decade

WB Pictures shows more of the DCEU, Harry Potter, and Godzilla at Comic Con San Diego Like death and taxes, trailers at San Diego Comic Con is inevitable. WB Pictures didn’t disappoint at their panel by showing four trailers for four highly anticipated films. However they have a lot of work to do to win back DC fans after the streak of mixed DCEU films.   Shazam It seems with how dark the DCEU has been from the start, this film is a breath of fresh air to see as it is looking to be a fun superhero film. The trailer starts out your usual DCEU film. However, unlike past films in the DCEU, it does a 180 halfway as it turns into a more comedic route in the style of the first Iron Man or Kick-Ass. The film is set to release in Spring of next year. Check out the trailer below. Godzilla King of The Monsters While the first film divided many fans, the second film will hopefully

David F. Sandberg Talks Creation Of Shazam! Movie Logo

While Marvel may be dominating the film market (especially with Black Panther owning the box office for 5 weeks and Infinity War coming up soon), that doesn’t mean DC hasn’t been getting some buzz for its films. Rumors about the first Aquaman trailer arriving at this weekend’s Wonder Con continue to spread, Wonder Woman recently got her second film villain in Cheetah, and the Shazam! film continues to have stuff shown off about it. Including the official logo for the film that you can see in the featured image above. The logo plays up the colors of the Shazam! with the bright red while also having his classic lightning bolt (which has been confirmed to be on the suit). But what might surprise you was that Warner Bros. based the design of the logo off of the one director David F. Sandberg drew for his pitch for the film. The logo had been revealed already without any of us knowing it. Same font, same design, colours are a bit different.

While 2018 only has one DC Comics film in Aquaman, 2019 might have up to four, with the first one being Shazam!. The film is going to be very different from previous films in the DC Comics Film Universe, but that’s ok, because this is a very different kind of superhero. Warner Bros revealed the official synopsis for the film, check it out below: “We all have a superhero inside us, it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out. In Billy Batson’s (Asher Angel) case, by shouting out one word—SHAZAM!—this streetwise 14-year-old foster kid can turn into the adult Super Hero Shazam (Zachary Levi), 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

One of the coolest things about a cinematic universe is the possibility of crossovers from various other films and characters that’s connected to it. This speaks especially to the comic book universes of Marvel and DC Comics. In fact, for Marvel, these crossovers were how the Avengers were basically formed. And for DC Comics, the crossovers played a larger part in bringing everything together for Justice League. Now though, Zachary Levi, who will play SHAZAM! in the upcoming film coming up next year wants a main Justice Leaguer to cameo in his film: Wonder Woman. “I think getting a cameo from anybody would be super cool, but I just think Gal Gadot is so effervescent,” Levi said in an interview with ET. “She has such a charm. And she seems like a really cool broad. Like, she was in the Israeli army. She’s a mom. And I’m like, ‘You seem like you’re grounded and cool, and you’re Wonder Woman, and you rock.’” Furthermore, he thinks it’d be funny to see Billy

If there was any doubt that SHAZAM! wasn’t being made, you can sure cast it away by now. Because in the last month or so we’ve not only gotten the reveal of Zachary Levi as Earth’s Mightiest Mortal, and Asher Angel as Billy Batson, but now, we have a key arrival in the supporting cast via Jack Dylan Grazer as Freddy Freeman. What makes Freddy Freeman so important is that he’s been a key member of the Marvel Family (that’s the name of Captain Marvel and Mary Marvel’s extended family group, not the comic brand!) for a long time. In fact, Freeman eventually become Captain Marvel Jr. in the comics. According to Deadline, this version of Freddy will know about Billy Batson’s secret, which makes him an invaluable ally and confidant of sorts. Now, what’ll be interesting to see is which version of Freddy Freeman they use. For the “classic” version (aka Pre-New 52) had Freddy as a loyal brother and aid to Billy and Mary (who is still not

Justice League is just days away, but then, the DCEU basically takes a year off until Aquaman arrives next December. But then, in 2019, it’s coming back with a vengeance, with Wonder Woman 2, possibly Suicide Squad 2, and the live-action film debut of SHAZAM!, where we know the lead role will be Zachary Levi. Suffice to say, he’s very excited, and with good reason. But some still wonder what the film will be like. Well, in an interview, he likens the film to another classic “boy becomes man” story…Big. “The hope is that it’s gonna feel like the movie ‘Big’, but with super powers. […] So, you’re gonna have the heart of that kind of Tom Hanks of the kid in you.” He also confirmed that Billy Batson (who transforms into SHAZAM!) is going to be 13 in the film, and we know he’ll be played by Asher Angel. Levi again let it be known just how excited he is for this role: “I’m honored and greatly humbled to be
