What is the story of Shazam 2?
Shazam talks about the story of a wizard who is living in the Rock Of Eternity, which is a magical realm. He wants to bestow his power upon someone who has a pure heart. At first, he brings Sivana but later finds him unworthy as he is deeply influenced by the Eye of Sin. He later turns out to be the antagonist. After many years, he finds a 14-year-old named Billy who lives in his foster home and bestows his powers upon him. He then becomes the superhero Shazam. The rest of the movie shows his acceptance of his power and his foster family and siblings. Moreover, he has to stop Sivana from causing destruction and return the Eye of the Sin. He does this with the help of his siblings. Now we know that Shazaam doesn’t have just one sidekick but the support of all his siblings in Shazam 2. However, the team hasn’t revealed anything about the movie. Considering the credit scenes and the comic, the evil caterpillar Mister Mind is likely to be the villain next.
As of the confusion with Sinbad appearing in the next movie. There have been rumours of a relationship between the two and that’s not true. If Sinbad makes an appearance in Shazaam, it won’t be the second time but the first time he makes a debut in the movie.
