‘Shazam 2’: 27 DCU Easter Eggs & Hidden Details in the Movie (3/3)

This article is the third (the last) easter egg breakdown of Shazam! Fury of the Gods easter eggs and hidden details breakdown. Shazam 2 is a very fun superhero movie that explores family and growth. Although this movie may not have any sequels anymore, I personally still think this movie is good and warm. Hope you guys like it too.

19 Mary Bromfield

In the movie, there is a scene recalling the first appearance of the Shazam family, which was actually a re-shoot. In addition to the different uniforms of all members of the Shazam family, after the transformation of the eldest sister Mary, the actor changed from the actor Michelle Borth in the first movie to Grace Caroline Currey. And Mary is also the only Shazam family member in the second movie who is played by the same actor before and after transformation.

20 Director cameo

In the movie, when the monsters bred in Tree of Life began to attack humans, one of the monsters grabbed a passerby and threw him from the air. The passerby was played by director David F. Sandberg.

21 Hades

When Hespera and Kalypso quarreled, Hespera mentions Hade as “uncle”. According to the genealogy we said before, Atlas is of the same generation as Zeus and Hades, so Hades is indeed the uncle of the daughters of Atlas.

22 Captain Marvel

When passers-by called Shazam, one of them called Shazam “Captain Marvel”. Shazam’s original name was Captain Marvel, from Fawcett Comics, and was later sued by DC for copying Superman’s character shape. During the long lawsuit between the two companies, MARVEL’s Captain Marvel was launched, and the trademark of captain marvel was registered first, which made it impossible for DC to continue to use the title of Captain Marvel, so it had to be renamed Shazam.

23 Shazam! (1974) TV leading actor cameo

The passer-by who calls Shazam “Captain Marvel” in the movie is played by Michael Gray, and he is the Shazam actor of the Shazam! (1974) live-action TV series. The movie uses this to let the Shazam actors of the two eras to meet across time and space.

24 Justice League

In the first post-credits scene of the movie, Emilia Harcourt appeared and recruited Shazam to join the Justice Society on behalf of Amanda Waller. Shazam was disappointed. In the comics, Shazam joined both the Justice League and the Justice Society. In the animated series, Shazam is also one of the founders of the Justice League.

25 The Authority & Avengers

Faced with the recruitment of Emilia Harcourt, Shazam named several teams one after another, including the Justice Association, The Authority, the Avengers, etc. The latter two names correspond to James Gunn's The Authority in the DCU and MARVEL’s Avengers.

26 Emilia Harcourt

The actor Jennifer Holland who plays Harcourt is the wife of James Gunn. This is her fourth appearance in the DC universe. She has also appeared in The Suicide Squad (2021), HBOMax series Peacemaker and Black Adam (2022). It is obvious that DC may want to make Emilia Harcourt as the Nick Fury of the DCU.

But fans think that Gunn is using personal relationship to treat his family member. For this reason, fans asked Gunn on the Internet to stop this behavior of letting his wife make a lot of guest appearances in the DCU, and Gunn responded that only the guest appearances in the HBOMax series Peacemaker are the guest appearances he arranged and in other works have nothing to do with him, so he hopes that fans will stop such baseless rumors.

27 Mr. Mind~~~🐛

The second ending easter egg is that the villain of the first Shazam! (2019) movie, Dr. Sivana, who is still in prison. He met Mr. Mind in the previous movie easter egg again after many years. From the conversation between the two, we know that although the previous game Mr. Mind promised to help Dr. Sivana again Possess power, but the fact is that Mr. Mind is too small, which leads to the slow progress of the whole plan. A few years later, even if Dr. Sivana is old, the two have a second conversation.

In fact, many fans misunderstood that the second easter egg does not imply that Shazam! has a third movie, but that the director is supplementing the easter eggs of the previous work, because the easter eggs of the first movie clearly imply that Dr. Sivana and Mr. Mind will come up with A big move, but due to the reboot of the DC universe, Shazam! There will probably not be a third movie, so the director simply gave up the plan, borrowing Mr. Mind's slow efficiency as an excuse, implying that the conspiracy of the two will never succeed, there will be no Shazam! sequels…...
