The clip shows Andi Mack actor Asher Angel playing Billy Batson, a 14-year-old living in foster care who can magically transform into an adult superhero by shouting the word, "Shazam!"

The first official look at the film shows Levi as the grown-up version of the character trying to figure out what his powers are and how his suit works with the help of his friend Freddy, played by Stranger Things star Jack Dylan Grazer.

The movie is set for release April 5.
