Did they change the title because of the MCU Captain Marvel or was it done to make the name sound better as Shazam?. In 1941 there was the movie serial called Adventures of Captain Marvel.
What was the reason for the change of the title?.
Copyright Issues.
How did that happen?.
@hyperfinn: Marvel Comics decided to trademark the term " Captain Marvel" back in the 1960s with another superhero of their own so DC had to change the name to Shazam.

So that happened very long ago. odd it was a race against time for Marvel during back then.
kinda serves DC right for blackballing the character in the first place.
Plus Captain Marvel/Supes are equals but DC has made it seem like Shazam cause second fiddle to him... nahhhh
So I hope Captain Marvel (the real one) does really well and outsells Superman MOS. Poetic justice.
@phisigmatau: You Shazam fans should get over your self's lol

Exactly. For my part, I prefer the Shazam acronym, which is already classic. And, anyway, the former moniker was stupid in his case - Captain of what? Did he have to pass throught "Private" first? Just drop it anyway and give this great character a regular title.
