Development
With the successful opening of Shazam! in April 2019, Henry Gayden was revealed to be returning to write the script for a sequel. Director David F. Sandberg and producer Peter Safran were also expected to return. Later that month, Michelle Borth, who portrayed the adult superhero form of Mary Bromfield in the first film, said she signed a five-picture deal for the role and was expected to return for at least one sequel. Zachary Levi confirmed in June that he was returning to star as Shazam in the sequel, and revealed that writing had begun ahead of a planned filming start in mid-2020. Sandberg and much of the first film’s crew were confirmed to return in December 2019, when New Line Cinema and Warner Bros. Pictures scheduled the sequel for release on April 1, 2022. This was delayed in April 2020 to November 4, 2022, and delayed again to March 17, 2023 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

RELEASE
Shazam! Fury of the Gods is scheduled to be released by Warner Bros. Pictures in the United States on March 17, 2023. It is the first DC Extended Universe film to use the DC Studios name. It was originally set for release on April 1, 2022, before it was delayed to November 4, 2022, and then to June 2, 2023, due to the COVID-19 pandemic. It was then moved up to December 16, 2022, since it was ready for release sooner than other DC films delayed by the pandemic. That date was previously given to Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. The release date was pushed back five days to December 21 in April 2022 to avoid competition with 20th Century Studios’ Avatar: The Way of Water, before being moved to Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom‘s release date again (the March 2023 date) in August 2022 when Warner Bros. Discovery was trying to spread out marketing and distribution costs. This also meant IMAX screens that would have been used by Avatar: The Way of Water would be available for the film.
