Shazam! Fury of the Gods star Adam Brody reveals he wants to see the Shazamily face off against Lobo or The Joker in the future. The sequel picks up a few years after the events of Shazam! and sees the young heroes continuing to fight crime after defeating Dr. Sivana with varying degrees of success. When a dangerous new enemy, the Daughters of Atlas, appear with their sights set on Billy and his family, the Shazamily must work together to defeat them and save the world.
Brody plays the adult superhero version of Freddie Freeman. In an exclusive Screen Rant interview for Shazam! Fury of the Gods, the Freddy actor shares which DC villains he thinks the Shazamily should fight. Brody chose two very dark villains, Lobo and The Joker, to challenge the optimistic Shazamily. Check out Brody's DCU pitch below:
DC phase 17. I feel like we're gonna be up against maybe Lobo, or somebody dark and crazy that juxtaposes very nicely with the youthful naïveté and innocence of Shazam. Who's the most corrupt son of a bitch in the DC universe? Maybe us and Shazam and Todd Phillips' Joker 3.
