The story centers on Billy Batson / Shazam and his foster siblings who battle the Daughters of Atlas to protect Earth.

Development for a follow-up to Shazam! started soon after its release in April 2019, with Gayden returning as screenwriter, and Morgan later hired to revise Gayden's draft. Sandberg and Levi were also confirmed to return by December. The film’s title and returning cast were announced in August 2020, with Zegler, Mirren, and Liu cast as the daughters of Atlas in early 2021. Principal photography commenced that May in Atlanta, Georgia, wrapping up in August.

Shazam! Fury of the Gods made its debut at the Fox Village Theatre in Los Angeles on March 14, 2023, followed by a U.S. release on March 17. While it received mixed reviews from critics, the film underperformed at the box office, earning $134 million worldwide against a production budget of $110–125 million.
