Dwayne Johnson’s DC blockbuster Black Adam cost about twice as much as Shazam!, but still didn’t gross as much as teenage Billy Batson’s Asher Angel debut. That might be one of the reasons why Shazam has been relatively quiet during the current DC restructuring.
In March, however, the magical superhero must prove he’s memorable for superhero audiences – and deserves a future in the new DC Universe. Then Shazam 2 starts: Fury of the Gods, for which a new trailer was released today.
