The Family is Back in New Trailer for Shazam! Fury of the Gods

It may be a while before we see Black Adam take on Billy Batson, but each of them do get a solo movie this year. This Christmas will be the release of Shazam! Fury of the Gods, and we have a new trailer featuring the Shazam Family as well as the villains, the daughters of Atlas.

Watch this:

Though Wonder Woman has been the DC character closely tied to the Greek gods, it seems that Fury of the Gods will also be leaning into that concept. At this point, I won’t be surprised if they find a way to have Wonder Woman cameo in the movie.

Besides the daughters of Atlas taking the stage of the main villains, the movie also brings back Djimon Hounsou who plays the wizard Shazam. Since he didn’t really appear in the ending of the first film, a lot of audience members thought he’d died, but I guess Sivana had the knack to imprison him offscreen. I guess it would be cool if we actually get to watch the wizard go full Gandalf in the movie, since he mostly just stood around and talked in the first film.

I guess it’s also worth mentioning that Rachel Zegler (West Side Story) is playing an unknown character in the film. While she could very well be another Greek figure like the Atlas daughters, I speculate she could be another main DC hero–like Zatanna.

Some think introducing the Shazam Family in the first movie was kind of too early, but I guess it just means that the sequel is now expected to raise the stakes. We don’t know what could happen with Billy and the rest of the kids, but I would love to keep watching the character grow throughout the series.

Catch Shazam! Fury of the Gods when it hits theaters on Dec. 21.
