Shazam 2 Director Posts Mock Trailer For Sequel

A Shazam 2 trailer has been posted by Shazam! director David F. Sanders – but it is not at all official or real. Instead, Sanders has posted his version of what Shazam 2‘s first teaser should look like, and it is pretty hilarious. Sanders hits all the beats of a blockbuster movie teaser, only with the humorous twist of posted some absurd quotes from “fans” of the series over the familiar scene of the holiday carnival from the first film. That “epic buildup” leads to the payoff of the Shazam family’s big debut scene – and the final scene of what the actual Shazam 2 title logo could look like!

Recent reports have indicated that the coronavirus pandemic shutdown of Hollywood won’t delay production on Shazam 2 again, after all. The plan is to get the sequel into production sometime in spring 2021, in time for it to be completed for its November 4, 2022 release date. Both David F. Sandberg and series star Zachary Levi are both returning, as well as screenwriter Henry Gayden.

Shazam! left the door literally and figuratively open for a much more epic sequel. The post-credits scene saw Doctor Sivana get contacted in jail by Mister Mind, the Venusian psychic space worm. In the comics, Sivana and Mister Mind united and formed the Monster Society of Evil, whose team ranks have also included the likes of Black Adam (Dwayne Johnson). That’s already a stacked deck, but Shazam 2 will presumably have more for the entire Shazam Family (and adult cast) to do. Oh, and since Henry Cavill is now making DC movie appearances as Superman, fans also expect to see that partial appearance from the hero in Shazam! to fully pay off.

As of writing this, Shazam 2 is expected to be one of the big movie presentations of the upcoming DC Fandome event. It could even be the place where David Sanders reveals the real first trailer for Shazam 2!
