- I can take care of myself. - Give these people a chance.

'Cause that's what they're giving you.

- Billy is a foster kid who's been in and out of foster homes.

- Woman: This is Billy Batson.

- He's a really good kid who wants the best,

who sticks up for the other kids.

- Hey. Man, sorry about that.

- Zachary: And because he is pure of heart...

- Wizard: Billy Baston.

- ...he's transported to this wizard...

- I choose you as champion.

- ...who endows him with this power of Shazam.

- Shazam.

- He has this power of just saying one word...

...and turning into a superhero.

- Aah! Aah! - It's me-- Billy.

- What is happening?

- First he goes to see his friend Freddy.

- You're the only person I know that knows anything

about this Caped Crusader stuff. - What are your super powers?

- Super powers? Dude, I don't even know

how to pee in this thing.

- Freddy is a superhero fanatic.

And so when he finds out that Billy is a superhero,

he's like, "I know exactly what to do."

- Freddy: You've got super strength.

- Freddy is like, "Okay, we have to test your abilities.

And, of course, they're gonna film it.

- Waah!

- You okay? Why aren't you talking?

[ groaning ]

- I feel like any kid who gains the power of being an adult

is gonna be like, "You should do things only adults can do." Duh.

- I'd like to purchase some of your finest beer, please.

Ahh! That tastes like actual vomit.

- What kid doesn't wanna be a superhero?

- Exact--What adult doesn't wanna be a superhero?

- Yeah, what person or kid doesn't wanna be a superhero?

- I'm still waiting. - Shazam!

- Shazam is one of a very few superhero characters

that is genuinely stoked to be a superhero.

- Your phone's charged. Your phone's charged.

- What the hell!

- More often than not, you've got a character

who is begrudgingly pulled into this,

and everybody needs them, and they're like, "Ohh.

I have to save the world again."

Billy Batson is stoked.

- You're like a bad guy, right?

- I just get to show up on set and be like, "I get to do this?

I get to fly around and fight bad guys?"

- You have bullet immunity!

- You're dead.

[ imitating weapon sounds ]

- Shazam!
