Wow they are really pushing the powered up magic-Sivana for the film, and as a counterpart brawler to SHAZAM.
I know Sivana has pursued even gotten powered up before.
But I prefer him as the classic mad scientist, cleverly working behind the scenes and getting or manipulating others to do his fighting.
So powered up, he's very much reading as a hybrid of Sivana and Adam.
That catching a punch scene above^ , is almost exact from the N52 Shazam, they just switched Adam with Sivana.
Now seeing him cary a magic staff?
Is that the actual Wizard's staff?
In Johns' and Franks N52 Sivana has a hand in releasing Teth Adam, and is exposed to magic, hence his "blinded" eye, which actually allows him to see magic?
Yet it's Adam, and the released Deadly Sins who are the main big 3rd act actual physical fight.
Not Sivana, who is mostly manipulating things.
It's a little weird seeing Sivana forced into this lead brawler role and pushing him as a straight magic user.
Hopefully it reads right in the film.
