Shazam! Fury of the Gods brought the thunder to Hall H Saturday, with star Zachary Levi trotting out the first trailer from the film.
“I missed you guys so dang much, I can’t even tell you,” said Levi to an energized Hall H, taking in the first panel of the day, after a Shazam! sizzle reel showed. T
Shazam!, released in 2019, was a modest hit by superhero standards with $365.9 million, but was well-liked and praised for bringing a youthful energy to the genre. It told the story of a foster kid named Billy Batson (Asher Angel) who transformed into the hero Shazam (Levi). The final act featured Billy fighting alongside his foster siblings — who transformed into adult stars like him. This time around, there will be more screen time for the adult versions of Freddy Freeman (Adam Brody), Darla Dudley (Meagan Good), Eugene Choi (Ross Butler), Mary Bromfield (Grace Fulton), and Pedro Peña (D.J. Cotrona)
During the panel, some plot details were revealed, including that there will be a time jump between the first movie and the sequel and that the Daughters of Atlas will be the villains, led by franchise newcomer Helen Mirren.
The panel also saw the debut of the new trailer for the superhero movie.
The panel marked DC Films’s first trip to Hall H since 2018. The studio sat out 2019, the most recent Con due to covid shuttering it in 2020 and 2021.
