However, DC could opt to skip the origin if they wanted to and just throw audiences head first into a world of magic and transforming boys.
DC hasn’t been building their cinematic universe quite like Marvel has, so they could certainly still choose the uncommon route.

Literally almost every major superhero franchise has one (some even more than that) origin story, so is that the route that they’ll go with the Shazam! movie?
