- NOTE: This article is about the incarnation of the Wizard Shazam from the DC Extended Universe series. The mainstream version can be found here: Wizard Shazam.
Shazam, better known as the Wizard, is the overarching protagonist of the 2019 superhero film Shazam!, the seventh installment in the DC Extended Universe. He is set to return in the 2022 film Black Adam, which will be the eleventh installment of the DC Extended Universe.
Shazam was an ancient and powerful wizard who, along with his six siblings, protected various realms as a member of the Council of Wizards. Over time, each of the siblings were killed by the Seven Deadly Sins, leaving Shazam alone in his duty. Millenia later, as the Wizard drew weak with age, he chose to pass his power onto a young boy named Billy Batson.
The wizard was portrayed by Djimon Hounsou, who has also played Drago Bludvist in the How To Train Your Dragon franchise and Korath the Pursuer in the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Trivia

Additionally, he portrayed Papa Midnite in the 2005 supernatural horror film Constantine, a movie also based off of a DC Comics character.
