After coming in as one of the most well-reviewed movies in the franchise to date, Shazam! set the stage for the godlike hero to have quite an extended solo run alongside his superhero family in its sequel Shazam! Fury of the Gods.
Going up against intense new villains played by Hollywood icons Helen Mirren and Lucy Liu , Billy Batson and his alter-ego will be in for plenty of new challenges during his evolution as a hero. This will also come with an increasing level of popularity amongst fans, adding another layer of intrigue to everything he will have to deal with.
Shazam! Fury of the Gods director David F. Sandberg posted a video on his Instagram account of the new opening logo for the DC Extended Universe, which highlights dozens of heroes from DC's Justice League.
He also pointed out in his caption how he forgot to include this fanfare in the first movie before joking about it potentially changing before the sequel releases:
This intro was most recently used ahead of James Gunn's The Suicide Squad, and it's expected that Warner Bros. will continue to use it for the four movies coming in 2022 as well. Although it won't have any direct impact on what's coming in the plot, it should ease Sandberg's conscience to bring it back this time as he continues his partnership with the DCEU.
Now that filming for Fury of the Gods is officially complete for the movie , the wait begins to find out more of what will come to the big screen after the now regular comic book movie intro. Shazam! Fury of the Gods will premiere in theaters on June 2, 2023.
