Shazam! Plays April Fool’s Day Prank With Aquaman 2 Trailer Tease

Shazam!

It’s April Fool’s Day, and Shazam couldn’t help but get in on the “fun.” Warner Bros. had a nice little gag, dropping a video that promised an Aquaman 2 trailer before Zachary Levi’s hero comes out and reveals it’s actually a promo for the about-to-release film.

This isn’t a surprise that it wasn’t going to be a trailer for an Aquaman sequel; after all, production hasn’t yet begun on the film. Meanwhile, Shazam! opens on Friday. You can see the promo below.

We all have a superhero inside us, it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out. In Billy Batson’s (Angel) case, by shouting out one word—SHAZAM!—this streetwise 14-year-old foster kid can turn into the adult Super Hero Shazam (Levi), courtesy of an ancient wizard. Still a kid at heart—inside a ripped, godlike body—Shazam revels in this adult version of himself by doing what any teen would do with superpowers: have fun with them! Can he fly? Does he have X-ray vision? Can he shoot lightning out of his hands? Can he skip his social studies test? Shazam sets out to test the limits of his abilities with the joyful recklessness of a child. But he’ll need to master these powers quickly in order to fight the deadly forces of evil controlled by Dr. Thaddeus Sivana (Strong).
