Although it isn’t clear when work will begin on the Shazam! sequel, Zachary Levi says that he’s looking forward to getting back into the costume as soon as he can. The star took to Instagram to celebrate the one year anniversary of the first film with an impressive shot of Billy Batson’s heroic alter-ego. Director David F. Sandberg recently revealed that he’s been working on the script with the intention of shooting this year, but it remains to be seen if the film will get pushed back due to the global pandemic.

Zachary Levi told fans on Instagram that he’s “damn excited to step back into the spandex” whenever DC is ready to start filming the sequel. The star also explained that he’s grateful for everything the role has given him so far, while also mentioning that now is the perfect time for fans that haven’t seen the first film to take a chance on the adventure.

What do you want to see from the Shazam! sequel? Sound off in the comments below!

Here is the official synopsis for film:

We all have a superhero inside us, it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out. In Billy Batson’s (Angel) case, by shouting out one word—SHAZAM!—this streetwise 14-year-old foster kid can turn into the adult Super Hero Shazam (Levi), courtesy of an ancient wizard. Still a kid at heart—inside a ripped, godlike body—Shazam revels in this adult version of himself by doing what any teen would do with superpowers: have fun with them! Can he fly? Does he have X-ray vision? Can he shoot lightning out of his hands? Can he skip his social studies test? Shazam sets out to test the limits of his abilities with the joyful recklessness of a child. But he’ll need to master these powers quick.

Directed by David F. Sandberg, the film stars Zachary Levi, Asher Angel, Mark Strong, Jack Dylan Grazer, Grace Fulton, Faithe Herman, Ian Chen, Jovan Armand, Cooper Andrews, Marta Milans and Djimon Hounsou.

Shazam! is now available on Digital HD, 4K Ultra HD, Blu-ray, and DVD.
