A little more than a week ago, Disney dropped the latest public notice for the bring to life play Aladdin remake, and at the unconditionally end, it included our first see at Will Smiths Genie in his natural blue form. This debut was met in the manner of a lot of mockery online, and Shazam! director David F. Sandberg has joined in upon the fun by giving the main villain of his upcoming movie, Dr. Thaddeus Sivana, the blue treatment as well.
I in the manner of that in complement to giving Mark Strongs Thaddeus Sivana blue skin, David F. Sandberg went the further mile and afterward gave Shazams nemesis the ponytail that Genie rocks. Granted, Sivana doesnt see quite as intimidating as he usually does, but Id in the manner of to think that the blue skin/ponytail combo enhances his already impressive special abilities, which is bad news for the Worlds Mightiest Mortal. Now would afterward be a fine become old to start playing Eiffel 65s Blue to set the mood.
David F. Sandberg posted this amusing edited photo after a aficionado asked upon Twitter if the reason that unusual full-length Shazam! public notice hasnt been released yet is because this is an Aladdin issue where Sandberg and Warner Bros are aggravating to hide something that theyre not confident in. unmovable the response to Will Smiths blue Genie, Sandberg made the right call getting ahead of the blue disgrace surrounding Sivana. In every seriousness, Sandberg has back said that there arent specific public notice updates he can portion just yet, but in the manner of the movie less than two months away, its not as though theres going to be a shortage of Shazam! promotion in the coming weeks.
Thus far, we havent seen much of Thaddeus Sivana in the Shazam! previews, but what little has been shown highlights that hell be a swine say yes for Billy Batson in his superpowered form. In the DC extended Universe, Sivana was brought to the stone of Eternity as a child by the technical Wizard, but didnt stop up swine agreed to relieve as the Wizards champion. As an adult, Sivana has been aggravating to unlock the secrets of magic through science, and back hes competent of blocking one of Shazams punches and shooting lightning, straightforwardly hes anyhow practiced this. Just to be clear, though, Sivana these magical powers will not repercussion in him turning blue at any point.
As for Aladdin, its comes out approximately two months after Shazam!, correspondingly theres yet wealth of become old to finish post-production play upon the remake. thesame to Beauty and the swine and The Jungle Book, this Disney adaptation looks in the manner of it wont differ too much from its full of life predecessor, although there are yet some creative liberties swine taken. Along in the manner of Will Smith, Aladdins cast includes Mena Massoud, Naomi Scott, Marwan Kenzari, Navid Negabhan, Nasim Pedrad, Billy Magnussen, Numan Acar and Robby Haynes, as without difficulty as Frank Welker returning to voice The Cave of Wonders and Abu the monkey.
Shazam! will play its magic in theaters upon April 5, and Aladdin will follow case upon May 24. As for what else is coming out complex this year, head to our 2019 liberty schedule for that information.
