If you were losing sleep, worrying that the big-screen adaptation of Shazam might not happen, you can rest easier now.
According to the Hollywood Reporter, writer Bill Birch has been hired by Warner Brothers to write a new script for the upcoming reboot of the Captain Marvel character.
Geoff Johns, one of the three DC Comics heavyweights hired by the studio to act as consultants on DC projects, is also helping with the kick-start, co-writing the story with Birch.
The project has been in limbo for several years now, but appears to be back on the fast track now.
