• Charles Clarence Beck based the appearance of the original Captain Marvel (originally named Shazam) on Fred MacMurray.
• At the ninth minute of the film, in Bishop's pawn shop, a Annabelle doll can be seen on one of the shelves. David F. Sandberg directed the second part, "Annabelle: Creation".
• As the Wizard mentioned, SHAZAM is an acronym for the first letters of the English names of the gods who grant power – Solomon's wisdom, Hercules' strength, Atlas' stamina, Zeus' power, Achilles' courage, and Mercury's speed. Of these six, only two are gods – Zeus from Greek mythology and Mercury from Roman mythology. Solomon was a king of mortals, Hercules and Achilles were demigods (half human, half god), and Atlas was a Titan.
• Zachary Levi gained 9 kg of muscle mass for filming, bringing his weight to 100 kg.
• In the early stages of production, the film was titled "Billy Batson and the Legend of Shazam!"
• In the scene where Shazam catches a falling bus from the bridge, it is clearly visible that he catches it by bracing his hands against the windshield. Given that the windshield was cracking from falling objects just seconds before, the rescue seems highly questionable.
