<p>With <em>Justice League</em> failing at the box office and much uncertainty about the direction of the DC universe, DC fans haven&#8217;t exactly had as happy a time as those of rivals Marvel. But there&#8217;s plenty to look forward to, with <em>Aquaman</em> arriving in November and <em>Shazam </em>following in April. We now have a first official look at star Zachary Levi in costume.</p>
<p>To be strictly accurate, it&#8217;s a picture of Levi standing in front of the<em> Shazam</em> poster, which the actor posted on Instagram. The poster was revealed at the Licensing Expo in Las Vegas and features Shazam enjoying a big soft drink, which supports director David F. Sandberg&#8217;s earlier statements that the movie will have <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/dcs-shazam-plot-revealed-in-new-synopsis/1100-6456593/">a more lighthearted tone</a> than many of DC&#8217;s movies. Check it out below:</p>
</p>
<p><em>Shazam</em> also stars Asher Angel as the character&#8217;s young alter ego, Billy Batson, and Mark Strong as the evil Doctor Sivana. The cast also includes Adam Brody (<em>The OC</em>, <em>CHiPS</em>), Grace Fulton (<i>Annabelle: Creation)</i>, and Ross Butler (<em>13 Reasons Why</em>), and it hits theaters on April 5, 2019. A<a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/dcs-shazam-plot-revealed-in-new-synopsis/1100-6456593/"> synopsis was released</a> back in February.</p>
<p>In terms of future DC movies, <em>Wonder Woman 2 </em>arrives in November 2019. Beyond that, it was recently reported that the much-rumored <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/dcs-harley-quinn-spin-off-will-be-an-r-rated-girl-/1100-6458825/">Birds of Prey film </a> was moving ahead and could start production in late 2018 or early 2019. The film will see Margot Robbie reprise her <em>Suicide Squad</em> role as Harley Quinn, and has been described by the actress as an &#8220;R-rated girl gang film.&#8221;</p>
<p>DC also recently announced new <a href="https://www.gamespot.com/articles/dc-universe-streaming-service-details-swamp-thing-/1100-6458705/">streaming service DC Universe</a>, which launches later this year. The service will feature an animated Harley Quinn show, as well an animated Young Justice series, plus live-action Titans and Swamp Thing shows.</p>
