Shazam! won't be hitting the theaters until April 5th, 2019 but is already making the rounds this week for San Diego Comic-Con with another new image and on the cover of Entertainment Weekly magazine. The exclusive cover will be made available at the convention or for purchase online.

In the image below, Shazam (Zachary Levi) with his lightning bolt insignia aglow being touched by his awed friend Freddy Freeman (Jack Dylan Grazer):



In the film, Billy (whose younger version is played by Disney Channel star Asher Angel) is assigned to a new foster home where he befriends comic book superfan Freddy. One day, Billy’s subway ride is interrupted by a mysterious Wizard (Djimon Hounsou) who’s been searching for ages to find the right successor to inherit his powers. He reveals the teen’s been selected to gain an assortment of abilities, and all it takes is for Billy to say “SHAZAM!”
