Shazam 2 Release Date Moved to Fall 2022

Shazam 2 is in the works, as officially revealed by New Line and Warner Bros. However, the 2022-bound sequel to the $364 million worldwide cinematic DC Comics smash could not withstand the COVID-19 pandemic, and will now see its release date significantly altered. Warner Bros. has rescheduled the release date for the untitled Shazam 2 to the late-fall date of November 4, 2022. The new date represents a move from its originally announced release date of April 1 for that year, representing a 7-month shift back. Indeed, it was part of one fell swoop on Warner’s part regarding upcoming DC…
