The upcoming Shazam sequel finally has a title and one very surprising cast member that just turned this movie into the punchline a joke that's been running on the internet for decades!

When it comes to Shazam!, the upcoming latest entry in the DC Comics Extended Universe, it always looked like pure fun based on the trailers. As it turns out, it's not just fun, but also damn good. How good? Well, better than any other DCEU film, that's how!

Does he have X-ray vision? Can he shoot lightning out of his hands? Can he skip his social studies test?
