The Shazam! sequel, Fury of the Gods, directed by David F. Sandberg, offers low stakes, self-contained storytelling, and juvenile humor that its predecessor had. The movie follows teenager Billy Batson, who must save the world when three goddesses are released from their prison and seek to use a broken staff to either restore their mythical realm or send the human world into chaos. The film is a blend of every teen-friendly ’80s adventure, including a mix of understated sweetness, humor, and egotism, and Levi's performance helps ground Billy’s decisions. Despite the hints and allusions that the Shazam! series may continue, if Fury of the Gods is the final installment, it’s still an electrifying and pleasant adventure.
