DC Films Releases ‘Shazam! Fury of the Gods’ Trailer and New ‘Black Adam’ Footage

This past weekend, DC Films held a panel at San Diego Comic-Con sharing what it has planned for fans. Although not delivering any news regarding The Flash, Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom, Wonder Woman 3 or The Batman 2 and spin-offs, the studio did share a trailer for Shazam! Fury of the Gods and new footage from Black Adam.

With star Zachary Levi in attendance, the trailer for the Shazam! sequel shows the kid superhero’s difficulty in finding his place in protecting the world. This is further exasperated when his foster brothers and sisters also tap into the power of the gods that help Billy Batson become Shazam.

The trailer also introduces Lucy Liu and Helen Mirren as the “Daughters of Atlas,” who will serve as the main villains in Shazam! Fury of the Gods. The powerful duo appears to take back the “power of all the gods” that Shazam and his foster brothers and sisters have gained to become superheroes.

Later during the panel, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson makes a dramatic appearance dressed as his character from Black Adam and seemingly floats on stage. New footage from the upcoming anti-hero movie offers a look at the darker atmosphere of the film. Also sharing scenes of Pierce Brosnan as Doctor Fate, Noah Centineo as Atom Smasher and Aldis Hodge as Hawkman, teasing the introduction of the Justice Society expected to help refresh the DC Extended Universe.

Black Adam is set to hit theaters October 21 with Shazam! Fury of the Gods expected to arrive in theaters December 21.
