If the first Shazam had a Superman cameo (but without Henry Cavill ).
The sequel could host Gal Gadot in the role of Wonder Woman : the indiscretion comes from The Illuminerdi , according to which the heroine will appear in Shazam! Fury of the Gods .
Obviously there is no confirmation of this, but a Wonder Woman cameo would make sense. Even Shazam , like Diana , is related to Greek mythology, and in fact can count on various powers resulting from deities, heroes and demigods of that tradition: for example, the strength of Atlas and the power of Zeus (who happens to be the father of Wonder Woman ). We also know that the antagonists of the new film will be Atlante’s daughters , namely Hespera ( Helen Mirren ) and Kalypso Rachel Zegler will also be there in the role of the younger sister, but the impression is that she can ally herself with Shazam and her family
In short, it would not be so absurd if Diana intervened to help our heroes to face such a threat, or at least made an appearance. It seems that his presence in the sequel will not be kept secret, but for now there is nothing official, so take the news with a grain of salt.
Shazam! Fury of the Gods will arrive onJune 2, 2023in American theaters. We will keep you posted.
The synopsis of the first film
There is a superhero inside each of us, it just takes a little bit of magic to bring it out. In Billy Batson’s case, just say the word “SHAZAM!”. This 14-year-old adopted boy can transform into the adult superhero Shazam, thanks to an ancient sorcerer. By keeping a child’s heart in a handsome, divine body, Shazam does what any superpowered kid would do: he has fun! Can it fly? Do you have X-ray vision? Can he shoot rays from his hands? Can he skip his homework in class? Shazam decides to test all his powers with the lightheartedness typical of children. But he must learn to control them in order to counter the forces of evil controlled by Dr. Thaddeus Sivana.
