The film will star Zachary Levi, Asher Angel, Jack Dylan Grazer, Djimon Hounsou, Rachel Zegler, Helen Mirren, and Lucy Liu.
The footage begins with Shazam (Zachary Levi) at a fancy restaurant in Paris. His date is Wonder Woman, though her face is out of frame. Shazam goes for a kiss, which Wonder Woman does not reciprocate. She gets up to leave the table, turning her back on Shazam, but the hero tries to smooth things over. As he leans in, Wonder Woman turns around. While Wonder Woman Gal Gadot‘s face is not revealed in the film reference, fans are super excited to see the part that they would play in the film which is making fans filled with elation.
Apart from the glimpse of Gal Gadot, we will also see a bit of reference from the film Fast and Furious into the film.

The boy says that saving the world is about family, a mantra coined by Vin Diesel’s Dom Toretto, which is making this film filled with extra humor and even entertainment. Fans are super excited for the film to watch and explore the story behind all these references.
The Film Shazam follows the story of young Billy Batson (Asher Angel), who received the ability to transform into an adult superhero, all by saying the titular “Shazam!” While the first film was primarily devoted to setting up Billy’s new life as Shazam and introducing enemies, the sequel will have a chance to explore that film even further, with Billy facing new and greater threats as he learns and grows as a superhero and faces challenges and threats while saving the world from the enemies. The film Shazam! Fury of the God was supposed to be released on June 2, 2023, but was recently brought forward to December 16, 2022, thereby will hit theaters on December 16, 2022.
