'Shazam!' will be DC's next movie to shoot

After "Justice League", DC Cinematic Universe will likely start working on its next film "Shazam!".

The project is expected to go on floors in January or February next year with a likely release in 2019, sources confirmed to The Hollywood Reporter.

David F Sandberg will direct the feature, about a boy who transforms into Earth's mightiest mortal.

"Shazam!" has been on DC's film slate for a while now. In 2014 it was announced that Dwayne Johnson would play Shazam's rival, Black Adam.

However, it's unclear whether Johnson will be involved with this project.
