Filming locations: Where was Shazam filmed?

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.

The comedy stars Zachary Levi as Shazam and the teenage boy Billy Batson is played by Asher Angel; The main cast is completed by Jack Dylan Grazer (Freddy), Mark Strong (Dr. Thaddeus Sivana) and Djimon Hounsou (ancient wizard).

Shazam! was filmed in and around Toronto in Canada, although the movie is set in Philadelphia. These are the spoiler-free filming locations for this anticipated blockbuster:
