It’s called Shazam! Fury of the Gods, and at this year’s San Diego Comic-Con, DC revealed a first look at the superhero adventure. Shazam! brought a lighthearted tone to DC’s theatrical run when it debuted in 2019, and the sequel looks to do much the same later this year — at least if the debut trailer is anything to go by. Fury of the Gods has had a few different premiere dates, but — along with pretty much all of DC’s theatrical slate, more than once — that timing has shifted.

The new film starring Zachary Levi and Helen Mirren is coming to theaters on Dec. 21.

In the comics, Black Adam is the arch nemesis of Shazam and, in many ways, his darker counterpart. While Shazam has the powers of the Greek gods, Black Adam calls upon the Egyptian gods for his incredible power. It’s sure to be an exciting end of the year for Shazam fans as the new “Black Adam” film starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is coming on Oct. 21. One of the sources of Shazam’s powers is Atlas himself — he holds the stamina of the titan god. Both characters do not have an obvious counterpart in the DC Comics, but, as the daughters of the Greek god Atlas, they no doubt have a relationship to the boy-turned-magical-superhero. The sequel to “Shazam!,” the hit 2019 film from the DC Extended Univers, is coming Dec. 21.

The trailer is filled with the Shazam-ily, Helen Mirren's Hespera, and references to the DCEU and Fast & Furious. Matt Fowler Adam Bankhurst ...

The story will see the Shazam family (established at the end of the first movie) balancing normal life with being superheroes, before two goddesses – Mirren's Hespera and Liu's Kalypso – visit the world and cause trouble. The movie, which will arrive on December 21, follows October's debut of Black Adam - Shazam's traditional comic book nemesis. "Now, it’s a couple of years on.

Granted, considering the world as it exists and the admittedly intense competition from the James Cameron sequel, this is a case where a global total is merely on par with its predecessor, again assuming it’s good and pleases the crowds, counts as a relative win. Think, offhand, Pitch Perfect, Austin Powers, John Wick, Scream and (relatively speaking) Batman Begins. Moreover, while I don’t know the budget for this follow-up, I must presume that grossses on par with Bumblebee, The Greatest Showman or Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse ($390 million in 2018) will be “good enough.” Speaking of which, Across the Spider-Verse is almost a surefire breakout sequel. Bumblebee and Mary Poppins Returns earned $471 million (including, to be fair, $171 million in China) and $350 million while Aquaman was swimming past $1.1 billion. Even back in 2009, Sherlock Holmes topped $525 million and Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Squeakquel earned $443 million in the same weeks that Avatar was earning $2.8 billion global. Star Wars: The Last Jedi earned $1.33 billion in December of 2017 while Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle earned $962 million and The Greatest Showman earned $434 million. In a sane world, opening days after Avatar: The Way of Water wouldn’t be a death sentence for Shazam: Fury of the Gods. Yes, it’s obvious why Warner Bros. Discovery moved David F. Sandberg’s DC Films sequel up to December 21 and pushed James Wan’s Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom to March 23, 2023.

Here's what we learned at SDCC about what's ahead from SHAZAM! Fury Of The Gods, which opens in AMC theatres this December.

It’s clear there’s a lot of love for Shazam! And his potential in the larger DC Universe among fans. And during the SDCC panel’s fan Q&A portion, Zachary Levi was asked if he might fight Superman in FURY OF THE GODS or a future film. “It was an honor to be part of something so special and a universe we can all relate to because we all want to belong. Good thing it all ended with “Shazam!” being a command echoed by a group of his fellow heroes, because up next he’ll face a new super-powered threat in SHAZAM! FURY OF THE GODS. Since Billy Batson first said “Shazam!” in the 2019 DC movie, the orphaned teen’s life changed a ton: he gained the ability to become a costumed superhero with god-like powers, fought the Seven Deadly Sins and found himself a family of his own. Zachary Levi pointed out that it was his character’s, but she owned her presence by challenging the actor to a showdown.
