Also, this article contains spoilers about the plot and ending of Shazam! Fury Of The Gods.
Shazam! Fury Of The Gods: Plot
After defeating Dr. Thaddeus Sivana, Shazam and his family again start living a normal and joyful life as they used to two years back, unaware of the fact that the danger is still hovering around the world and would make its move when there is a best chance.
Soon, when everyone gets busy again in their lives, Shazam comes across the new antagonists, the daughters of Atlas, Kalypso, Hespera, and Anthea, who want to avenge the death of their father.
When three of the daughters enter the world, Anthea becomes a friend of Freddy, while two other daughters decide to meet the Wizard to join the broken staff that they stole. They manipulate the Wizard and get the job done. The main purpose of stealing the Wizard is they want to find the seed of Life and reanimate their existence on the earth, just like it was many years back when the Wizard, with his magic, stored it in the staff and created a magical barrier around it.
While the sisters succeed in stealing Freddy’s powers and incarcerate him with the Wizard in the God of Realm, Anthea remembers what Freddy did for her in the past and gets both the Wizard and Freddy out of the God of Realm. On the other hand, Kalypso decides to destroy the whole world to make it her home, and for that, she releases monsters through the seed of life to destroy the city of Philadelphia. Even though Anthea and Hespera do not agree with the plan of Kalypso, she does not stop and de-powers, wounds, and tries to kill her sisters.
Billy fights against Kalypso to save the world.
When Billy gets to know that the world is in danger, he asks the Wizard to take back his powers and save the world. But the kind-hearted Wizard trusts Billy more than himself and asks him to take the responsibility to save the world because he thinks that he has the potential to defeat Kalypso and her monsters to save everyone living in Philadelphia. Overwhelmed, Billy soon takes up the responsibility of the world and fights against Kalypso while his siblings are fighting the other monsters.
Billy steals the staff and lures Kalypso so that he can fight against her. He decides to supercharge the staff with the help of his lightning powers so that when he uses the highly charged staff when it would blast and kill Kalypso. Even though he knows that this plan of him will kill him as well, Billy decides to make this plan work so that he can save his loved ones.
Surprising entry of Wonder Woman
Billy finally says Shazam! And the staff blasts. Billy dies with Kalypso, and everyone thinks that this is the sad ending to the movie until wonder woman appears all of a sudden at Billy Batson’s funeral to resurrect him. While everyone thinks that Billy won’t come to life ever again, Wonder Woman’s magical powers bring back the rays of hope.
As Wonder Woman has connections with DC’s gods, she effortlessly puts all of the powers back to the staff, which wakes Billy up from the dead and makes all of his loved ones happy. Billy flirts a little with Wonder Woman, but she jokes around and leaves the scene. When fans saw Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) in Shazam, they assumed that it could be her last appearance of her as a Wonder Woman as the third part of her trilogy was suddenly canceled.
In the end, Wizard is shown alive, coming back to Billy Batson to give his Shazam name to Billy’s possession while taking the magical staff back again to go on new adventures. While no one knows what adventures the Wizard will go on, it definitely, tells us something exciting is going to happen if there is Shazam! Part three.
Shazam! Fury Of The Gods: Mid-Credit Scene
Mid Credit and Post Credit scenes are something that fans always look forward to when it comes to DC Universe superhero movies. Shazam! 2 featured both Mid Credit and Post credit scenes and unraveled the numerous possibilities as regards what is going to happen in the third part of Shazam.
Talking about the Mid-Credit scene, we see Emilia Harcourt and John Economos, the characters from the Suicide Squad and Peacemaker, making their way toward Billy Batson to offer them membership in their team. Ecstatic Shazam first thinks that he is finally going to be a member of the Justice League, accepts the offer, and then gets to know that he has become a member of the Justice Society.
As Justice Society’s members contain many of the characters from Black Adam, fans are anticipating that in the next sequel, Black Adam is going to be a part of Shazam 3. Well, no one knows what the creators have in store when it comes to Shazam and DC’s future, but this Mid-Credit scene surely wants to hint at something that would directly connect to the future sequel of Shazam.
Shazam! Fury Of The Gods: Post-Credit Scene
In the end, we see that Kalypso and Hespera die while Anthea regains her powers. Additionally, Billy and his siblings gain their powers again, and as mentioned earlier, the Wizard takes the staff into his possession. But this is not the end. Something more evil has been written in the fate of Billy and his family, which was hinted at in the post-credit scene.
In the post-credit scene, we see Dr. Sivana planning and plotting something in prison. He also sees a worm, Mr. Mind, outside of the window. Just before Sivana tries to find what the worm is trying to say to him, we see Mr. Mind leaving, which hints that Sivanna and Mr. Mind may create affiliation in Shazam! Part three.
Shazam! The Fury Of The God’s ending was quite exciting and ambiguous as it hinted at a lot of things. But, it also depicted that if there is a next part, it is going to be more thrilling and unusual that would make sure to baffle all the DC universe fans. Now that you know everything about the Shazam 2 ending, let us wait and wish for the new and exciting journey of Shazam in the next sequel.
