F.

It&#8217;s basically\u00a0<em>Big<\/em> but with superheroes.<\/p>\n<p>And that angle, along with generous amounts of comedy, is what the new trailer emphasizes. Even though the movie is rooted in the DC Extended Universe, the studio is hammering home in the marketing that it is much lighter \u2013 and funnier \u2013 than previous DCEU outings like (ahem)\u00a0<em>Batman v Superman<\/em>. (We especially love the bit where Shazam throws an oversized\u00a0Batman action figure at people chasing him.)
