In addition to Shazam himself, members of the Shazam family, such as Freddie Freeman, Dara Dudley, Mary Bromfield, and Eugene Tri, appear in the stills. It can be said that this is the first time that the Shazam family has appeared in the same frame. Due to the impact of the epidemic, the filming of this film was postponed for one year. In the sequel, Zachary Levy will continue to play Shazam, while Swedish director David Levi will continue to play Shazam. F. Sandberg will also continue to direct the film. It is worth mentioning that as an important part of the Shazam universe, the story of "Black Adam" is also being filmed. Previously, it was reported that the single line of "Black Adam" will become the beginning of DC's new style. How DC and Warner will handle the role of Black Adam is still unknown, after all, this role has a strong two-sidedness.
Hespera, the villain hespera who joined helen Mirren after the old drama bone shadow, also appeared on the set. Hespera is an ancient Greek mythological character and the daughter of Atlas, the titan giant god! This character does not seem to be directly related to DC Comics, and may be a more original interpretation! It was also confirmed that Liu Yuling played her sister, the main villain Calypso.
Shazam is based on DC Comics, who previously had a name called Captain Marvel, and the protagonist's real name is Lian Joseph' Billy' Batson, who grew up in an orphanage and was later adopted, is an ordinary student with a strong sense of justice, who is most unaccustomed to bullying, so he is chosen by the mysterious wizard Shazam to become the defender of human morality, thus being given the power to use magic Shazam, and then every time Billy shouts out the wizard "Shazam!" "The name will be struck by a magical lightning bolt, instantly transforming from a child into an adult superhero Shazam, guarding the world." According to the plan, "Shazam 2" will be released on June 2, 2023.
