The cast of 'Shazam' on the film's diverse superhero family
After playing catch-up to Marvel Studios for a few years, the DC Extended Universe has pulled even with its distinguished competitor by embracing the diversity of its onscreen superheroes. 2017’s "Wonder Woman" was the first female-fronted superhero movie to cross the $400 million mark at the domestic box office, beating "Captain Marvel" to the punch by two years. Last year, "Aquaman" swam to a billion-dollar global gross on the back of its biracial leading man, Jason Momoa. Now the DCEU’s latest colorfully-clad crimefighter, "Shazam", is flying onto the big screen and bringing his equally colorful family along for the ride.
