Now that the character is headed for the big screen, played by Zachary Levi, director David F. Sandberg is setting the record straight on the character?s name in the film.
Sandberg clarifies to Entertainment Weekly that the hero played by Levi is indeed Shazam, though they may have snuck in a reference to his history as Captain Marvel as well.
?Let?s just say we?re going to have a bit of fun with that in the movie,? Sandberg teased. ?But he?s basically known as Shazam, which makes sense because of the confusion.?
The character was originally called Captain Marvel and was created for Fawcett Comics in by CC Beck and Bill Parker in 1939. The character is a young boy named Billy Batson who gains the power to transform into the heroic Captain Marvel from an ancient wizard named Shazam.
