Shazam! Director Turns His Villain Blue To Poke Fun At Aladdin

A little over a week ago, Disney dropped the latest trailer for the live action Aladdin remake, and at the very end, it included our first look at Will Smiths Genie in his natural blue form. This debut was met with a lot of mockery online, and Shazam! director David F. Sandberg has joined in on the fun by giving the main villain of his upcoming movie, Dr. Thaddeus Sivana, the blue treatment as well.

I like that in addition to giving Mark Strongs Thaddeus Sivana blue skin, David F. Sandberg went the extra mile and also gave Shazams nemesis the ponytail that Genie rocks. Granted, Sivana doesnt look quite as intimidating as he usually does, but Id like 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 also be a good time to start playing Eiffel 65s Blue to set the mood.

David F. Sandberg posted this amusing edited photo after a fan asked on Twitter if the reason that another full-length Shazam! trailer hasnt been released yet is because this is an Aladdin situation where Sandberg and Warner Bros are trying to hide something that theyre not confident in. Given the reaction to Will Smiths blue Genie, Sandberg made the right call getting ahead of the blue scandal surrounding Sivana. In all seriousness, Sandberg has since said that there arent specific trailer updates he can share just yet, but with the movie less than two months away, its not as though theres going to be a shortage of Shazam! marketing 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 physical match for Billy Batson in his superpowered form. In the DC Extended Universe, Sivana was brought to the Rock of Eternity as a child by the mysterious Wizard, but didnt end up being chosen to serve as the Wizards champion. As an adult, Sivana has been trying to unlock the secrets of magic through science, and since hes capable of blocking one of Shazams punches and shooting lightning, clearly hes somehow accomplished this. Just to be clear, though, Sivana these magical powers will not result in him turning blue at any point.

As for Aladdin, its comes out nearly two months after Shazam!, so theres still plenty of time to finish post-production work on the remake. Similar to Beauty and the Beast and The Jungle Book, this Disney adaptation looks like it wont differ too much from its animated predecessor, although there are still some creative liberties being taken. Along with Will Smith, Aladdins cast includes Mena Massoud, Naomi Scott, Marwan Kenzari, Navid Negabhan, Nasim Pedrad, Billy Magnussen, Numan Acar and Robby Haynes, as well as Frank Welker returning to voice The Cave of Wonders and Abu the monkey.

Shazam! will work its magic in theaters on April 5, and Aladdin will follow suit on May 24. As for what else is coming out later this year, head to our 2019 release schedule for that information.







The latest offering is Shazam!, which in an earlier incarnation was originally called Captain Marvel. That obviously wasn't going to work but Shazam!, with an emphasis on the exclamation mark, is the most fun DC movie yet. That's saying something for a comic book brand and studio usually known for going darker, grittier and more intense.
