Shazam! Fury of the Gods Ending Explained (In Detail)

Warning: Contains SPOILERS for Shazam! Fury of the Gods!
Shazam! Fury of the Gods arrives amidst a change in the DC Universe's future, but Shazam 2's ending still delivers big surprises and sets up a possible future for the franchise. The sequel to Shazam! comes four years after the original movie was released in theaters. The story picks up two years after Shazam and the Shazam family defeated Doctor Sivana and the Seven Deadly Sins. They are now known as the protectors of Philadelphia. Billy Batson (Asher Angel) is trying to keep the kids together instead of letting everyone, himself included, grow up as needed. They quickly find themselves faced with the Daughters of Atlas, who could destroy Earth.
The main focus of Shazam! Fury of the Gods is based around Shazam (Zachary Levi) after Kalypso (Lucy Liu) and Hespera (Helen Mirren) steal the magic staff. They originally wanted the staff to find the Seed of Life and restore their god realm to how it was before the Wizard (Djimon Hounsou) put a barrier around it. However, Kalypso then proposes that they use it to make Earth their new home, which Anthea (Rachel Zegler) and Hespera do not agree with. After turning on them and depowering Freddy (Jack Dylan Grazer), Mary (Grace Currey), and others, Shazam 2's ending revolves around Shazam and Kalypso fighting for the fate of Earth.
