Shazam: Fury Of The Gods Second Trailer Appears

The problem with making a big announcement about how you’re about to revamp the entire DC Cinematic Universe is that it’s not an instantaneous decision. You can’t just remove the last few films being produced under the old guard and replace them with new movies equally far along in production. So though Shazam: Fury of the Gods tries to make a big deal out of itself, the sad truth is that this long-delayed movie arrived too late. We really hope it’s not stuffed with sequel-bait scenes, because we know those aren’t coming. What will save this film is if it’s a good stand-alone flick, and the first Shazam was fun, so…who knows. If you remember back that far, the ending to the first Shazam brought things into the “Marvel Family” era and turned all his friends into superheroes. With that many, they’re gonna need a real challenge to keep things interesting! Enter the Daughters of Atlas: a group of controlling, despotic goddesses who are displeased with Billy and his family

WB Delays Shazam And Aquaman Sequels Yet Again

You get the sense that if it wasn’t for bad news from Warner Bros, there would be no news from them at all. They’re delaying two of their movies again, Shazam: Fury Of The Gods and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. Shazam 2 was, before today, scheduled to come out this holiday season, but instead has been bumped to March 17, 2023. This, in turn, has bumped the Aquaman sequel intended for that day all the way into NEXT December — so no one will see it for eighteen months. That makes for a huge span of time between it and the first Aquaman movie. At this point Shazam has been all over the calendar: it’s been delayed, moved up and now moved back. But believe it or not, this time the delay is a good thing. In fact, it’s the only smart decision WB has made all year so far. Had Shazam: Fury Of The Gods stuck to its December 16, 2022 release date, it would have been in

Shazam Faces The Fury Of The Gods In New Trailer

WB hasn’t always known what it’s doing with the DC universe, but one of the few times they got it right was Shazam. It was the inverse of the grimdark Snyder movies they were known for at the time: a family-oriented comedic romp about a kid who finds a way to become a superhero when shouting a magic word. He turns into a muscle-padded Zachary Levi but still has the mentality of his child self, leading to a lot of wacky moments. It’s been a long time since Warner Bros released the first Shazam movie, and there’s a major problem with that: its stars are all supposed to be kids. You can just pull a Stranger Things and pretend nothing happened, but that’s even harder here, as Billy Batson’s power lets him turn into a grown-up. As I’ve said before, eventually these movies are just going to be one adult turning into another adult. Shazam was originally known as “Captain Marvel” and he found a way to share his powers

Shazam 2: Fury of the Gods teaser

Shazam 2: Fury of the Gods released its first teaser. The first film is an unexpected hit, making $366 million at the box office. The original Captain Marvel will return with Zachary Levi reprising the title role. All the kids and their heroic versions will return except for Michelle Borth, who plays Adult heroic Mary. Mary’s Kid actress Grace Caroline Currey, now 25 years old, made an adult version unnecessary. So Currey will now play the hero version of Mary too. Kids grow fast. Asher Angel, who plays Shazam’s alter-ego Billy Batson is now 19! It makes me wonder if Zachary Levi will be retired too once Angel reaches Currey’s age. At a certain point in history, Shazam was more popular than Superman, and he was known as Captain Marvel. Yes, Marvel has a Superhero with the same name, which got settled with a Lawsuit. Now he goes by the name he screams to transform. Shazam 2: Fury of the Gods teaser The release date of this movie is December 21, 2022, which is a long wait.
