‘Shazam 2’ makes meta ‘Fast & Furious’ reference to Helen Mirren
The first sneak peek of Shazam! Fury of the Gods has arrived and features a scene between Asher Angel and Helen Mirren with a hilarious meta-reference to the Fast & Furious franchise.
Shazam! Fury of the Gods sees Billy Batson (Asher Angel) face off with the villainous Daughters of Atlas, Hespera (Helen Mirren) and Kalypso (Lucy Liu). The trailer shows a scene between Batson and Hespera in which he says he’s seen all the Fast and Furious films, so he knows that family always wins, just as his super-powered family appears on the scene. Mirren stars as the nefarious Queenie in the Fast and Furious franchise.
Germain Lussier of Gizmodo and i09 viewed the trailer at CinemaCon and shared a tweet describing the clip:
The scene with Wonder Woman features a surprising plot twist that sets the tone for Batson’s confrontation with Hespera later in the film.
The teaser was so well received that some attendees are tipping Shazam! Fury of the Gods to become one of the most successful films of the year. Director David Sandberg later took to Twitter to announce that a full trailer is on the way in the not too distant future.
Shazam! Fury of the Gods is the sequel to Shazam! (2019) and tells the story of Billy Batson, a boy who, through his purity of heart, acquires the power to transform himself into an adult superhero (Zachary Levi) by calling out the name Shazam!
Shazam! Fury of the Gods is scheduled for release on December 19, 2022.

Wonder Woman cameo confirmed for ‘Shazam 2’, but not how you think
A preview of Shazam! Fury of the Gods features a cameo with Wonder Woman and a surprising plot twist.
Per Screen Rant, the clip depicts Shazam (Zachary Levi) and Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) at a Parisian restaurant, where he tells her that he can’t commit to a relationship with her. The Amazonian rises from her seat and starts to exit, but stops in her tracks, facing Shazam and revealing that she is Merlin, who tells Shazam that the Daughters of Atlas are after him. A dragon is seen landing near the pair, and Shazam eventually realizes he is dreaming.
Shazam! Fury of the Gods is the follow-up to Shazam! (2019) and continues the story of Billy Batson. In the first iteration, Batson was an ordinary boy who obtained extraordinary powers and could transform himself into a grown-up superhero by shouting the titular name. The sequel sees Billy nearing adulthood and facing a different set of challenges than he did in the previous film, which adds a layer of teenage charm to his dream about a date with Wonder Woman.
Wonder Woman fans can also catch a glimpse of her in another upcoming movie in the DC Extended Universe. Selfies posted by Gal Gadot on her social media accounts suggest that the Wonder Woman star will also be making a cameo in The Flash, scheduled for release on June 23, 2023.
However, fans won’t have to wait that long to see Wonder Woman as Shazam! Fury of the Gods is scheduled to premiere just in time for the holiday season on December 19, 2022.

Zachary Levi doesn’t want ‘Shazam 2’ to lose the heart of the original
Shazam! was a movie full of magic with an extra dose of emotion and Zachary Levi doesn’t want to lose that in Shazam! Fury of the Gods.
Warner Bros. began their CinemaCon presentation with the DC sequel starring Levi who shared the aspects that he felt made the first movie so special.
“We don’t want to veer from the magic we were able to find in the first movie, balancing action, comedy, drama and heart. That’s a massive part of what people connected to in the first movie.”
Shazam!, released in 2019, was a superhero story that’s really about discovering your true family. Billy Batson is an orphaned child, who is deemed a nuisance for running away from his foster homes in search of his mother, but when he comes to live with Victor and Rosa Vasquez and their five children, he learns the real meaning of family. His already complicated life gets more tangled when he is chosen by the wizard Shazam to possess the power of the gods because of his pure heart.
Billy goes on adventures with his new friend/foster brother Freddy Freeman who helps him discover his new powers. By saying his magical name, a lightning bolt strikes him and he grows into the mighty Shazam. He fights the superpowered Thaddeus Sivana (Mark Strong) who wants Shazam’s powers for himself and the Seven Deadly Sins. By the end of the movie, he realizes that in order to win he needs to rely on his siblings and he shares his powers with them, turning them into superheroes who help him save the day.
In Fury of the Gods, Shazam will battle the three daughters of the Greek god – Atlas Hespera (Helen Miren), Kalypso (Lucy Liu), and the yet-unnamed third daughter played by Rachel Zegler. While the trio will be aided by dragons, harpies, and cyclops in the sequel, Shazam will once again have his superpowered ready to help him navigate the troubled waters.
Many new scenes from the film were shown at CinemaCon, and although the footage isn’t permitted to be posted online, reports have stated that Wonder Woman appears in the sequel but it isn’t the Amazonian warrior we know.
Shazam! Fury of the Gods comes to theaters this Dec. 16.
