“Black Adam” and “Shazam! The first images of Fury of the Gods at Comic-Con


Levi, who plays Shazam, led the first half of a panel that would later see Johnson, dressed in his Black Adam costume, seem to levitate while smoke and lightning surrounded him.

Read on for new details and plots of upcoming movies. (DC Films shares parent company Warner Bros. Discovery with CNN.)

In the trailer for the next “Shazam!” sequel, Levi’s hero is in for a funk. He compares himself to DC’s most popular heroes, including Batman and Superman, who admittedly have decades of fame and kicks to their names.

“I don’t deserve these powers,” he thinks. “What am I even contributing?”

(Quick “Shazam!” Primer here: The hero is actually a teenage boy named Billy who transforms into the adult superhero Shazam, played by Levi, who summons the power of multiple gods when he speaks his name out loud. moans here make more sense when you consider her true age.)

To lighten the mood, the trailer features Lucy Liu and Helen Mirren as the evil “Daughters of Atlas”, who seem to want to take back the “power of all the gods” that Shazam and his teenage pals “stole” for. become adult superheroes.

We don’t yet know how Shazam and the gang will defeat these evil women, but we do get a glimpse of Rachel Zegler (Maria in Steven Spielberg’s “West Side Story” remake), whose character appears to be an instrumental part of the growing franchise.

Broods ‘Black Adam’

New Pictures of “Black Adam” which Johnson dramatically introduced was somehow even more moody than the teenage Shazam’s: “My powers are not a gift but a curse,” grumbles Black Adam of Johnson.

Later, after Pierce Brosnan, Noah Centineo and a winged Aldis Hodge appear in the trailer, Black Adam gets even darker: “The world needed a hero. had.”

Good God, Adam; leave brooding to Batman! The plot details of “Black Adam” are still mostly unknown, but we know from the comics that Black Adam is either an anti-hero or a villain, depending on who you ask, who can also tap into powers. from Shazam. Both super-powered men wear the same lightning bolt on their uniforms, though Adam’s is stained with mud, dirt, and inner turmoil.

“Black Adam” will be released on October 21, and exactly two months later, “Shazam! Fury of the Gods” will hit theaters.
