Warner Bros.’ San Diego Comic-Con 2018 Hall H appearance is shaping up to be heavily focused on their upcoming DC slate. The Aquaman trailer will be making its debut at Comic-Con this year and Wonder Woman 1984 will also be present at the SDCC.
Now, Shazam! director David F. Sandberg has all but confirmed he’ll be attending Comic-Con this year, tweeting a photo of the Comic-Con International logo with a cartoon of himself yelling, “Hurry up and get here!!!”

There have been rumors circulating for weeks that in addition to getting the first trailer for Aquaman, Comic-Con attendees would also be treated to the first trailer for Shazam!. Warner Bros. always goes big at San Diego Comic-Con, so it certainly makes sense. Warner Bros has made no official announcement concerning Shazam! and SDCC, however. Until now, besides one lonely banner, there was no official reveal of Zachary Levi’s character. All that the fans saw were rather disappointing photos of the star in his superhero suit.
Shazam!, based on the DC comics, is the story of a 14-year-old boy named Billy Batson who is granted the powers of six ancient heroes by a dying wizard, which he activates by saying the wizard’s name, “Shazam!”. When he does, he’s transformed into an adult superhero. played by Zachary Levi.
Shazam! will be released on April 5, 2019.
