Warner Bros. brought a lot of DC — a lot — to its CinemaCon session today. In addition to a The Flash trailer, Dwayne Johnson showing up to push DC League of Super-Pets and Black Adam, the cast of Shazam: Fury of the Gods stopped by with a trailer, in addition to James Wan how had a sizzle reel of Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.
Shazam! Fury of the Gods’ castmembers Zachary Levi, Jack Dylan Grazer and Asher Angel were here at Caesars Palace Colosseum, along with Helen Mirren who plays villain Hespera.
Levi said it was “super dreamy getting the gang back together” and promised the themes would remain in the sequel, “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.”

Angel, who plays young Billy Batson said, “The last time everyone saw Billy he was a kid, and he’s grown up and matured. I would say adulthood is on the horizon and it’s scary because he doesn’t know what’s going to happen to him. That weighs pretty heavily on him and he’s trying to enjoy the moment and, hey, have these superpowers.”
Mirren called the gang, “The most wonderful crazy family that I’ve had the honor to be a small part of. You just have to hold your nose and jump into the deep end and allow the whirlwind to take you.”
The footage shown kicked off with Shazam dining in Paris with what appears to be Wonder Woman whom he’s wooing suggesting they could be known as the “Hottie Goddies” or “Shezam,” but it’s actually Djimon Hounsou’s Wizard who’s arrived to tell Shazam he must “fight for your family, fight for the world.”
