While Shazam! was a big hit for DC, its sequel, Fury of the Gods, was not.

Time will tell if the Shazam! sequel's legacy will change. The film was the follow-up to the successful first film and followed the team of foster kids as they take on the Daughters of Atlas. The main cast of the first film — Zachary Levi, Jack Dylan Grazer, Ross Butler, D.J. Cotrona, Grace Fulton, and Meagan Good — all return while some newcomers including Helen Mirren, Lucy Liu, and Rachel Zegler also starred in the film.
