The newest Shazam! Fury of the Gods trailer hints at Billy Batson’s growth as a worthy champion and protector of the planet, which makes Black Adam's confirmed absence from the film even worse. Shazam’s arch-nemesis in the comics, Black Adam, made his live-action debut in the Dwayne Johnson-starred Black Adam film released in 2022. Now, Billy Batson returns to the big screen, but a Shazam vs. Black Adam crossover seems unlikely.
