Shazam! Fury of the Gods will continue the Shazam family of heroes, which was introduced during the climax scene of the first film. As the title suggests, the sequel could possibly feature Gods, but the names are yet not revealed. Shazam himself has the power of several gods combined. His name is an acronym of six immortal elders; Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles, and Mercury.
Along with the title reveal, a new cast member is also speculated to join the project. 'Sinbad' is said to have a cameo in Shazam! Fury of the Gods. The comedian and actor made fun about being a part of Shazam! before its release in 2019. However, as he crashed “Shazoom” video interaction on DC FanDome, fans are speculating that he would now appear in the upcoming sequel.

Shazam! 2 plot has been under wraps since its announcement. The makers did not reveal much information on DC FanDome as the movie is yet to commence its principal photography. The film has already been pushed ahead from its initial release date of April 1, 2022, due to coronavirus or COVID-19 pandemic. Shazam! Fury of the Gods is now set to strike in theatres on November 4, 2022.
