Filming locations Guide: Where was Shazam filmed?
Posted by Ra Moon
Who doesn't want to be a superhero? Shazam! is the story of a kid who becomes a superhero but also he becomes an adult, ending up being super-confused and lost. The 'Champion of Eternity' movie is a funny parody of classical characters like Batman and Superman, taking place in the DC Extended Universe.
So, where is Fawcett City? Shazam! was filmed in and around Toronto in Canada, although the movie is set in Philadelphia.
