New set pictures for DC Extended Universe’s highly awaited Shazam! movie teases fans that the superhero film might have some connection with Batman’s Gotham City. One of the latest leaked pictures reveals an Easter egg for Batman’s hometown. Notably, the Shazam! team is currently shooting in Toronto.
The new set picture was uploaded on Twitter by a user who goes by the name BlogTO. At first, the image might seem like a random shot of a news van. However, when on taking a closer look at the picture, it becomes visible that the news van is from Gotham City. At this point, it remains unclear if the set is supposed to be Gotham or if it’s just the city’s local news team who have come to cover a big event. You can check out the picture below.
Fans are advised to take this with a grain of salt since there’s also the possibility that the below set photo is from Titans. The DC TV series is also currently being filmed in Toronto.
This is not the first time that fans have found Shazam! Gotham city connection. One of the early leaked pictures featured a poster promoting a boxing match. The poster advertised Ace Chemicals, a chemical plant located in Gotham city.Notably, Ace Chemicals is the same chemical plant where the Red Hood became The Joker. Fans are hopeful that they might get to see their favorite superhero Batman doing a cameo in Shazam!.
Now that the film is well into production, a new video from the film’s sets has recently surfaced online which shows the hero in action. In the video, Shazam can be seen rescuing civilians from what appears to be a speeding bus. The video was posted by a Twitter user who goes by the name Jeremy Lawrence.
It’s interesting to note that Shazam can be seen acting like a child in the video after he successfully rescues a bus full of people. However, the fact that Shazam is an adult-superhero version of a 14-year-old teenage boy Billy Batson completely justifies his actions.
Director David F. Sandberg’s superhero film Shazam! will land in theaters on April 5, 2019.
