Shazam! Fury of the Gods is bringing back Billy Batson and his alter ego next year. After the first film brought a fun spin to the DCEU, the sequel might be heading in a different direction.
Producer of Fury of the Gods, Peter Safran, spoke to Collider about what we can expect from the second entry. Though the film is expected to maintain its humour, Shazam 2 will see a more mature twist for the teenage superheroes.

Fans can expect Fury of the Gods to expand on the original's strong humour while offering bigger set pieces for the family of super-beings.
Shazam 2 will see Billy and his family tackling new threats in Lucy Liu and Helen Mirren. Safran mentions these two additions as highlights in the sequel, along with West Side Story's Rachel Zegler, who's expected to play a significant role.
With the cast from the first picture also grown up, the producer notes that Fury of the Gods will have a more mature, coming-of-age story:
We received our first look at Shazam! Fury of the Gods at DC Fandome, which showcased its expansive scale and glimpses at new characters (via One Media).
