Shazam! Fury of the Gods’ post-credits scenes promise Shazam will return... somehow

polygon.com:

A lot has happened since the 2019 release of Shazam! and its new sequel, Shazam! Fury of the Gods. The future of Warner Bros.’ DC Comics films has radically changed, for one thing, and I’m not talking about Black Adam.

So what happens in the credits scenes of Fury of the Gods? After all, that’s traditionally where a superhero movie hints at what’s in store for the future of its heroes. And Shazam! Fury of the Gods is no different.

[Ed. note: This post contains spoilers for Shazam! Fury of the Gods.]

Shazam: Fury of the Gods! has two credits scenes, and the first points directly at the wider DC Universe — or, at least, one version of it.

Agents Harcourt and Economos of HBO Max’s Peacemaker grumble down a back road in an undisclosed backwoods location to meet up with their contact: Shazam, who is amusing himself by popping empty bottles in a dilapidated gas station. They’ve set up the meeting on behalf of Amanda Waller, who has warned them that Philly’s resident superhero is extremely powerful and “a little immature,” but she thinks he could be a good addition to “the team.” She even knows that Shazam and Billy Batson are the same person.

And a moment later, we find out which team she meant. Harcourt and Economos offer Billy a chance to join the Justice Society. He agrees immediately, even though he’s disappointed that they didn’t mean the Justice League. What’s the difference? The agents are vague. “The Justice Society is different from the Justice League because of how words work,” snarks Harcourt.

One joke about how they should change the name to “the Avenger Society,” and we’re back to the actual credits — Shazam has joined the Justice Society, which made its live action film debut in Black Adam last year.
