Analysis: The future of Shazam at DC Studios is up in the air, but the post-credits scenes and cameos in “Fury of the Gods” provide potential answers.
The latest film starring Asher Angel as teenager Billy Batson and Zachary Levi as the adult superhero he magically transforms into when he says the word “shazam” goes out of its way to show this franchise could still have life at DC Studios despite being filmed way before Gunn wasThe biggest hint comes in the first of the film’s two post-credits scenes, which features agents Emilia Harcourt and John Economos from the HBO Max series “Peacemaker.” .
The second post-credits scene reveals the return of the villain of the first “Shazam!” film, Doctor Sivana , still in prison and having a conversation with Mister Mind , an alien worm with the mind of a genius. Sivana is frustrated he’s been in jail for two years with little contact from Mister Mind, who assures him that he has a plan moving forward that will get him out soon.
The cameo “Shazam!” fans most wanted but didn’t happen: Black Adam. Not a shock considering Dwayne Johnson let it be known his character would not play second fiddle to anyone in the DC universe, including Levi’s Shazam. The two are intense rivals in the comics andit looks like they’ll never be on the screen together unless Black Adam is recast. That’s a colossal misstep and shows just how much of a mess DC was before Gunn’s arrival.
