DC Confirms That Shazam Is Part Of The Same Universe As Batman v Superman

Following Warner Bros. announcement of their DC cinematic plan, rumors started floating around about Shazam's role in the same. Most seam to imply that Shazam would live in his own separate universe, however in a recent editorial titled "Moments That Mattered" DC have revealed that all of the announced films will inhabit the same universe.

"Yes, there were rumors of some sort of film slate, mentions that Warner Bros. had “big plans” for DC Entertainment and occasional informal announcements (like the news that New Line had a Shazam movie in development). But for fans who were hoping to see a DC Cinematic Universe similar to what they’ve seen from other publishers, one that included super heroes other than Superman or Batman, there didn’t seem to be a lot to talk about.

That changed on October 15, 2014, when Warner Bros. revealed a full slate of ten DC Entertainment feature films all set within the same universe. The list included the movies we were hoping to see—Wonder Woman will get her own film, while the Justice League will get TWO movies. However, it also included quite a few surprises. A standalone Cyborg movie! A Flash feature starring Ezra Miller! A Suicide Squad movie! And coming in 2016, no less!!"

If we complement this information with the statement New Line (studio behind the film) President Toby Emmerich made back in September about the project I extrapolate that Shazam might be the Guardians of the Galaxy of the DCCU, meaning it will connected to the rest of the films but not in a direct way.
