Zachary Levireturns as the titular hero, in thisdarker sequelthat goes beyond what was established in the original movie back in 2019. As the whole family adapts to their lives as powerful superheroes, the Daughters of Atlas have a personal vendetta against the wizard who gave the foster kids their magical set of skills. The clash between the two teams is certainly more explosive thanthe stakes from the first installment, where Billy Batson (Asher Angel) had to learn how to use his powers with the help of his new brother, Freddy (Jack Dylan Grazer). Thankfully, Billy trusted his family this time around, ensuring they could face the legendary villains together.
While the studio made its best effort to promote the latest movie in theDC Extended Universe,Fury of the Gods’results at the box officewere a disappointment, which might’ve prompted the early release on digital platforms. Added to the poor reception from fans and critics, the original story planned for the characters moving forward was meddled with due to the production of last year’sBlack Adam. According to Shazam himself, Zachary Levi, the two franchiseswere set to cross paths, before those plans were scrapped at the last minute. With the box office response the sequel saw, this could mark the end of the road for the “Shazamily”.
