Shazam! Fury of the Gods simply received a brand new trailer. After a short exhibiting finally yr’s San Diego Comedian-Con, Warner Bros. has dropped new footage which provides away vital plot beats — quite a lot of it — that, in a way, might mark the tip or the start of the subsequent chapter within the DC Prolonged Universe (DCEU). The trailer, out there in English, Hindi, Tamil, and Telugu, feels overstuffed. Initially slated to launch in April 2022, the sequel suffered a number of delays as a result of COVID-19 pandemic, ultimately settling for a March 17, 2023, date. David F. Sandberg returns to direct, in fact.
The trailer for Shazam! Fury of the Gods opens with a voiceover, as Kalypso (Lucy Liu), the second daughter of Atlas, sows a seed into the center of a baseball stadium. The seed births a big tree, whose roots and branches unfold out into town, destroying all the things in its path. “We’re at battle. We’ll annihilate all the things,” the ill-intentioned oldest daughter Hespera (Helen Mirren) warns Shazam! (Zachary Levi), at a neighborhood eatery. “The champions of this realm can do nothing to cease us.” The Shazam! 2 trailer then confirms it has been a “few years” because the younger Billy Batson (Asher Angel) obtained superpowers within the unique 2019 movie, which was then distributed amongst his foster siblings, who’ve established themselves because the rightful protectors of town.

The casting solely sees one change — Grace Fulton is returning as Mary Bromfield/ Mary Marvel, albeit this time, she might be taking part in each the academically-driven sister and the grownup superhero type. Beforehand, the latter, older model was portrayed by Michelle Brothe. Unsure how the movie will deal with the key id aspect of issues. Hopefully, no glasses.
The Shazam! Fury of the Gods trailer then delves into exposition territory, establishing why the Daughters of Atlas have determined to hunt our heroes. “Kids stole the facility of the gods,” Hespera explains, whereas taking bodily disabled foster brother Frederick Freeman (Jack Dylan Grazer) as a hostage. “You ripped it from our father’s core.” The trailer then cuts right into a montage of motion sequences, with Shazam! charging headfirst into the dragon Kalypso is driving on — which he occurs to name “Khaleesi.” A Sport of Thrones reference? Rachel Zegler’s Anthea, the third daughter of Atlas, makes an look a lot later within the Shazam! 2 trailer and could be seen casting a spell.
“I do not know the way we combat powers like this,” Bromfield says, as the complete metropolis will get enveloped in a blue, dome-like defend. At this level, the Shazam! Fury of the Gods trailer presents the large wager, with Batson wanting his powers taken away, in hopes of saving town and his beloved foster brother. “I spent millennia trying to find a worthy champion,” The Wizard (Djimon Hounsou) says. “You realize precisely what have to be accomplished.” The trailer ends with some photographs from the ultimate confrontation, which sees Shazam! preventing the aforementioned dragon, as a gaggle of unicorns and different legendary creatures take over town. As I mentioned earlier than, it’s overstuffed and just about provides away the complete film.
Deemed as a high quality product by Warner Bros. Discovery CEO David Zaslav, as he was planning to chart out a brand new future for the DCEU, it is clear that Shazam! Fury of the Gods will now not embody Black Adam within the fold. New DC Studios co-heads James Gunn and Peter Safran determined in opposition to a Black Adam sequel, which primarily cancels the universe’s interconnectivity that star Dwayne Johnson had deliberate.
Shazam! Fury of the Gods strikes theatres worldwide on March 17.
