New 'Shazam' trailer shows the fun side of being a superhero
Watch Next

Previous Shazam trailers have focused on the story of how Billy Batson gained the power to transform into a superhero, but new look at DC's upcoming movie has a little more heroic flair.

Some of Shazam's powers look particularly awesome, like his super-fast flight and lightning beams, but at the heart of it he's still a kid who wants to play around with being a big guy. Hence the beer. And the...real estate agent?

Shazam opens in theaters on April 5.
