Released in 2019, Shazam! was a joyous breath of a fresh air in a crowded, increasingly dour superhero landscape. It followed 14-year-old foster child Billy Batson (Asher Angel) as he is chosen by an ancient wizard (Djimon Hounsou) to be bestowed with the ability to transform into an adult superhero (Zachary Levi) with God-like powers.

Billy and his fellow similarly-superpowered foster siblings must now continue to juggle their personal lives with their superpowered alter-egos, while contending with a new threat in the Daughters of Atlas, a vengeful trio of ancient gods played by Helen Mirren, Lucy Liu and Rachel Zegler.
