Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2023)
The film continues the story of teenage Billy Batson who, upon reciting the magic word "SHAZAM!" is transformed into his adult Super Hero alter ego, Shazam.
In Athens, Greece, two of the daughters of the Titan Atlas, Hespera and Kalypso, break into the Acropolis Museum to steal the Wizard's broken staff. They then take it to the imprisoned Wizard, forcing him to recant "Shazam", thereby repairing it and activating its powers.
In Philadelphia, Billy Batson with his foster siblings save people on a collapsing bridge but are called out for the destruction. At home, everyone is drifting apart due to them growing older and having personal interests. Billy is worried about being kicked out of the Vasquez family after turning 18 and aging out of the foster system. In a dream, as Shazam, Billy is warned by the Wizard about the daughters of Atlas. Billy and his siblings then do research on the daughters.
Freddy, who is bullied at school, meets a new girl named Anne, develops a relationship, then shows off his superhero self. Unfortunately, Hespera and Kalypso arrive with the staff, stealing Freddy's powers. Anne is revealed to be their youngest sister, Anthea. As Billy, with his siblings, is about to save Freddy, the goddess daughters kidnap him, then put a dome around the city, trapping the family and the city's residents. Freddy is imprisoned along with the Wizard in their afterlife kingdom. The Daughters of Atlas reveal they want revenge because the Wizard killed Atlas.
The family goes to Rock of Eternity. They encounter a magic sentient pen nicknamed "Steve", which they use to draft a letter to Hespera calling for a deal for Freddy and the staff. Billy meets Hespera at a hamburger joint, where she admits her father was a tyrant and that his family stole all the powers of the gods. The family fights her along with Kalypso, who takes Pedro's powers using the staff. Hespera is defeated and brought to their lair. While they try to devise a plan, Hespera breaks free, finding the golden apple, the seed of life. At the kingdom, Freddy and the Wizard try to find a way to escape the gods' world with Anthea helping them. However, when they reach the door, Hespera walks through with the apple. The Wizard suggests stealing it as it can destroy his world. While trying to steal it, Freddy falls down, catching the daughters' attention, but luckily is saved by Billy.
Billy, Freddy, the Wizard, and the rest of the family reveal themselves as superheroes to their parents as a dragon is about to destroy their house. Kalypso chases them for the apple, with each member losing their powers. Mary flies off with the apple, but is zapped, losing her powers and falling. Billy chooses to save her, allowing Kalypso to retrieve the apple. She also gravely wounds Hespera, then plants the apple in a stadium growing the Tree of Life and unleashing various creatures, who then attack the civilians. The family stops at a parking lot to view the chaos. Billy feels hopeless and asks the Wizard to take back his powers. He tells Billy he chose him because of his selflessness and care for his family knowing it might be a suicide mission.
Billy turns into Shazam to stop Kalypso, the family tries to help him, and Darla asks Steve what the creature's weakness is: unicorns. Everyone gets off the van except the parents, and the kids with the Wizard look around. Darla finds a unicorn and gives it Skittles, befriending it; a herd appears, allowing each of them to ride one. Shazam persuades a dying Hespera to help him stop her sister. He makes Kalypso chase him, stopping at the tree where the stadium is, then the dome shrinks around them. Finally, the parents, Anthea and Freddy are near the dome where Billy is ready to fight Kalypso alone.
Billy fights Kalypso and her dragon and destroys them both by breaking the staff, though he is mortally wounded in turn. Anthea brings Billy's grieving family to her kingdom for his funeral as they mourn for him. The goddess Diana (Wonder Woman) suddenly appears and repairs the staff, and uses it to revive Billy, who happily reunites with his family. The family fixes their house with Anne and the Wizard living in their world.
In a mid-credit scene, Billy meets Emilia Harcourt and John Economos, who recruit him on behalf of Amanda Waller to join the Justice Society. In a post-credit scene, Thaddeus Sivana, still in prison, encounters Mister Mind once again.
