Shazam!

DC Comics‘ superhero Shazam is heading to the big screen next year, and the film’s star Zachary Levi shared a peek at himself in costume.

Details about “Shazam!” were revealed during a licensing expo in Las Vegas, and Levi was in attendance. During the event, he found an ad featuring himself in costume and shared it on Instagram.

In the movie, 14-year old Billy Batson is granted powers by a dying wizard, which he activates by saying the wizard’s name: Shazam! When he invokes his powers, a magic lightning bolt transforms Billy into an adult superhero.

Along with the peek at Shazam’s costume, Warner Bros. released the movie’s logo:
