AceShowbiz - Are these the first look at Zachary Levi's Shazam costume? The actor has previously teased his costume in the upcoming Warner Bros.-DC superhero movie and now new set photos may reveal the garb that his character will don when channeling his alter ego.
In some photos shared by an onlooker on social media, a guy who is believed to be Zachary Levi is wearing the classic red, white and gold Shazam costume. The actor was snapped from behind as he and the movie crew were filming at a mall in Toronto.

Director David F. Sandberg previously said that Warner Bros. had an official photo ready to go in the event of a set photo leak, so fans are expecting that an official image of Levi in Shazam's costume will be released soon.
"Shazam!" kicked off production earlier this month. The official plot synopsis reads, "We all have a superhero inside us, it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out. In Billy Batson's case, by shouting out one word--SHAZAM!--this streetwise 14-year-old foster kid can turn into the adult Super Hero Shazam, 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?" it continues, "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."
Asher Angel portrays young Billy Batson, with Jack Dylan Grazer, Grace Fulton, Faithe Herman, Ian Chen and Jovan Armand playing members of Billy's foster family. Cooper Andrews and Marta Milans are cast as Billy's foster parents, Victor and Rosa Vasquez, while Ron Cephas Jones stars as the Wizard. Mark Strong is tapped as Dr. Thaddeus Sivana.
Written by Christopher Markus and Stephen McFeely, the movie adaptation of the DC comics is set for an April 5, 2019 release in the United States.
