Shazam! Fury of the Gods got a new trailer that shows more about the plot and the dimensions of the new threat posed by the Daughters of Atlas
THE Warner Bros. released the new trailer of Shazam! Fury of the Gods, the new chapter in the story of the boy who gets the power of the gods by pronouncing the magic word. And it is precisely the source of these powers that is the center of all the tension in the new feature film.
This time, the studio has provided much more detail on the plot of the new adventure, presenting more motivations that will bring Hespera (Helen Mirren) and Kalypso (Lucy Lyu) to Earth and the level of threat they pose to the Shazam Family and all over the world. . And, as many already guessed, the hero’s powers are at the heart of this dispute.
As the trailer introduces, the Daughters of Atlas go to the human world to recover their father’s essence, which has been “stolen” by a group of children. So what we have are these Greek Gods and an existence threatening army of mythological monsters.
And what stands out in the new video is that, in addition to these plot details, we see just how much threat these characters pose to Shazam (Zachary Levi) and his brothers. In addition to having the support of chimeras and dragons, Hespera and Kalypso seem to be able to absorb the power of the Marvel Family, making the heroes go back to being just children.
This trend reversal is something that makes a lot of sense in the logic of Shazam! Fury of the Gods. As established in the 2019 film—and, before that, in the comics—the word magic is an acronym for the names of the gods from which the character borrows his powers. Among them, for example, is the strength and invulnerability of Atlas.
So when the daughters of the mythological titan come to Earth to reclaim that essence, it’s only natural that we’ll see them affect the entire Shazam family, especially by stripping each of them of that trait. And, from what the trailer suggests, Freddy (Jack Dylan Grazer) is the one who should be most affected, as he will be captured by the bad guys.
Also, the trailer shows a lot more of the action that the movie is supposed to bring. At the same time, it is curious to note that it tones down the jokes a bit, limiting itself to a few humorous shots here and there, bringing a much more serious atmosphere than the previous video.
Shazam! Fury of the Gods hits theaters March 16, and his debut should answer more about his role in DC’s future. The first feature was already well highlighted in the then Extended Cinematographic Universe of DC (DCEU, its acronym in English) and, by all accounts, this sequel should remain even more isolated from films like The flash And Aquaman and the lost kingdomwho also belong to this universe that is about to be rebooted.
