When Shazam!  Fury of God?

When Shazam! Fury of God?


The film was anticipated and hits theaters in 2022 with a humorous and totally family-based story

The first Shazam! arrived in theaters without great expectations and, for this reason, it was a pleasant surprise in the midst of a very troubled time in the DC superhero universe. It was a breath of lightness in the midst of stories that took themselves too seriously. It was a bet that paid off and, therefore, all the attention turned to following him.

Three years later, Shazam! Fury of God he is going to the cinema to report the story of the boy turned superhero, except this time he will not be alone, as the whole Shazam family will be with him. It is a novelty that should take the dimension of adventure to another level and the film itself should follow this leap in proportions.

Curiously, Fury of God will bring two somewhat unknown villains from the comics and move away from the hero’s main villain and rival: the black adamwho will also star in one of his films in 2022. We might be surprised right up to the premiere, but all that has been shown so far is that the two characters will remain distant, having only the wizard Shazam (Djimon Hounsou) as the starting point.

The big family of DC

The big highlight of Fury of God it is precisely the participation of the Shazam Family – the former Marvel Family, as it was called in the original comics, before the legal dispute with the eponymous publisher. As we saw at the end of the previous film, Billy Batson (Asher Angel) shared the magician’s powers with his brothers and they all underwent the same transformation, becoming adults with super powers.

And this should be the starting point for the new feature. From what the trailer shown at San Diego Comic-Con features, we’ll see the family dynamics now that everyone is hero, but retains their usual childish mindset.

At the same time, Shazam (Zachary Levi) and his brothers will face a real threat to the world: the villains Hespera (Helen Mirren) and Kalypso (Lucy Liu), two gods from Greek mythology who arrive to give humanity an ultimatum.

It’s unclear in the trailer what the characters’ true internment is in the mortal world, nor exactly how Shazam and his brothers will confront each other. However, bearing in mind that the hero’s powers come precisely from the ancient gods, it’s no surprise that they come to get paid for the exaggerations humans are causing.

Still, what else will arouse curiosity Fury of God it’s not the role of these villages, but the good humor that the script is supposed to bring back. From the little that has been shown, we’ve already seen that the jokes and banter with the cast and universe of heroes will continue, which is great news for those who loved the vibe of the first movie.

When Shazam! The wrath of the gods arrives in cinemas

While most DC movies have experienced delays, Shazam! Fury of God It was one of the few cases where the premiere was anticipated: originally slated to hit theaters in 2023, the new adventure of the boy who gains powers will premiere on December 21, 2022.

The date couldn’t be more strategic. With this lighter storyline and a more familiar script-related vibe, it’s the perfect movie to watch with kids at Christmas – and Warner is counting on it to boost the box office.

Furthermore, the fact that Fury of God arrives two months later black adam it should help in this regard as well. Although DC hasn’t formalized a link between the two stories, we might be surprised at the end of the year. At this point in the championship, everything is possible.
