Shazam

Zachary Levi stars at the titular hero in "Shazam!" (COURTESY OF WARNER BROS. PICTURES)

“Shazam!” the latest collaboration between DC Comics and Warner Bros., represents the newest comic book superhero movie to make it to theaters and it won’t be the last. Just this month, we will be seeing two more: “Hellboy” and “Avengers: Endgame,” and in the coming months we will be getting “Dark Phoenix,” “Spider-Man: Far from Home” and “The Joker.”

For some, we’ve reached a saturation point and genre fatigue is setting in. Superhero films still draw huge money, so clearly they aren’t going anywhere anytime soon, but will more people start saying “Ugh, not ANOTHER superhero film?”
