PanARMENIAN.Net - A new sneak peek of "Shazam!" was dropped by Warner Bros. Pictures on Sunday, January 20. Sharing a lot of never-before-seen footage, the less-than-one-minute video sees Zachary Levi's titular character showing off his power, AceShowbiz reports.

Young Billy Batson (Asher Angel) is seen leaping from the rooftop into the sky while saying the magic word that enables him to turn into the super-powered adult. He is seen going up against Mark Strong's Dr. Thaddeus Sivana.

In another scene, adult Billy in his Shazam costume tries to buy some beers at a supermarket, while the cashier doesn't seem to be impressed by him at all. He and his friend Freddie (Jack Dylan Grazer) also try to find a lair. Seemingly poking fun at Batman, Freddie says they're looking for a place located on a cliff "overlooking some water, splashing on rocks."

In a blink-and-you'll-miss-it moment, the video additionally reveals the first look at the Seven Deadly Sins. Director David F. Sandberg kindly pointed this out on his Instagram post, writing, "It goes by pretty quickly in the video I posted earlier so here’s a still with some neat stuff in it..."

The said Seven Deadly Sins appear in the form of statues of curious figures in what appears to a cavernous underground hall. According to the comic books, they are seven powerful demons based upon the seven deadly sins enumerated in Christianity.
