David F. Sandberg, who directed the first installment, is also directing the second part with screenplay by Henry Gayden.

Now, the latest news is that the first footage from Shazam 2 has debuted at the DC FanDome 2021.

'Shazam! Fury of the Gods' will pick up where the original film left off, which Batson’s foster family now all wielding the power to transform into superheroes.
