Principal photography is scheduled to start in February of next year with the movie’s release date set for April 2019.
Having said that, the DC slate is moving forward with a stacked deck that will hopefully keep their film series alive.
After a long rigorous process of setting DC’s plan for a Shazam! movie in motion, it seems like work for the movie is quietly progressing with lead star Asher Angel starting pre-production work for the project.
By taking a risk in lesser-known properties like Shazam!, DC Films somehow eases the pressure to succeed and indirectly lowers the expectation of people on their movies since this is a relatively unknown character.
