Warner Bros. Pictures has attached reknowned comic book writer Geoff Johns, alongside Bill Birch, to write “Shazam!”, the big-screen adaptation of the DC Comics character Captain Marvel, the young boy who calls on the magic word “Shazam,” then name of the benevolent wizard who gives him his powers, to summon ancient magics and become the adult superhero known as Captain Marvel.

Peter Segal (“Get Smart”) is on-board to direct and produce alongside Michael Ewing. Johns, who is also attached to write a “Flash” movie, will also consult on the project.
