New Shazam 2 Trailer Takes a Dig at Fast & Furious, Wonder Woman

CinemaCon 2022 is a treat for comic book fans, and it keeps getting better. Day 2 of the event was all about DC. Fans were treated to some unreleased scenes from the sequel to Shazam! Fury of the Gods.

Shazam actor Zachary Levi took to the stage as the event dropped the first full trailer of the sequel. Thanks to Rotten Tomatoes’ Erik Davis, we know much of what to expect from the sequel.

The most interesting thing is a Wonder Woman cameo, except that it’s not Gal Gadot. The superhero Shazam dreams about “having dinner” with Wonder Woman, according to Warner Bros’ description via ScreenRant. The hero tells her that he can’t commit to her.

As Wonder Woman walks away, she reveals that she is Merlin. Merlin arrived in his dreams to warn him about the Daughters of Atlas.

The next interesting thing would be Shazam’s Fast & Furious joke when a dragon lands beside him.

“Lady, I’ve seen all the Fast & Furious movies and it’s all about one thing: Family!”

Unfortunately, nothing happens when he says this. He then emphasizes the word family, and soon, the entire Shazam family appears one by one.

The F&F moment holds more importance as it is directed towards Helen Mirren’s first appearance as the villain, Hespera. For the unversed, Mirren was a part of three Fast & Furious movies.

Hespera is part of the Daughters of Atlas with Lucy Liu’s Kalypso, the much-awaited villains of the sequel.

Meanwhile, CinemaCon 2022 even unveiled Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam trailer. The trailer leaves one to speculate about the Shazam vs. Black Adam battles in the future. 

Fans won’t have to wait for long as the release date for Shazam! Fury of the Gods has moved ahead. The movie will now arrive in theaters on December 16.
