We are going to have to wait a bit longer to witness the fury of the gods, as Shazam: Fury of the Gods, the sequel to 2019’s delightful Shazam! is due to hit theaters March 17. Originally the highly anticipated follow up was supposed to go toe-to-toe with Avatar: The Way of Water this Christmas, but was pushed in the wake of the WB/Discovery merger and the updated plans for the DC film slate. But never fear, just because we aren’t getting more of the Shazam family this year, doesn’t mean we aren’t getting some fun stuff. Today, WB/DC just debuted a new poster for the film.
Breaking directly from star Zachary Levi and the Shazam Instagram pages this morning, the poster is simple, but completely on brand for the funny, light-hearted hijinks of the Shazam franchise, showing kid-turned-superhero Billy Batson on a scooter, scooting by at lightning speed.
Here’s the post and poster from the social accounts:
Obviously Levi is kidding about the “Electric Boogaloo” part (obviously a reference to the cautionary tale that was Breakin’ 2: Electric Boogaloo for those of you too young to remember that box office bomb). However, given the lightning powers of the character, I kind of wish it was the subtitle now!
In any case, witness the return of Billy and the Shazam-ily when Shazam: Fury of the Gods hits theaters March 17, 2023!
