Shazam, A Skywalker Trailer, and Black Holes
Shazam! The Movie
The heart of Shazam’s story is one that we can all relate to as children and adults who remember being children or might not have grown up at all.
The heartbeat? It’s hard to do the right thing. Which means it’s hard for superheroes and the rest of us.
Even if you don’t have a family or find yourself making a new one you don’t have to be alone. When you open your heart to people who want to help you be your best you are stronger than you could ever be on your own.
Oh and, the mid-credits scene is one that fans of the classic Shazam adventures will enjoy. So, expect a lot of pondering in anticipation of the sure-to-follow sequel.
