Shazam, the DC movie following the dual-personality superhero, was released last year and garnered commercial success as it grossed $366 million globally with an $80-100 million budget. The movie was also critically well-received and a sequel was therefore greenlighted quickly. Up until now though, the sequel had no official title.

Now, at DC FanDome, a virtual convention dedicated to DC franchises, the movie’s director, David F. Sandberg, revealed the new title—Shazam: Fury of the Gods. this announcement was made at a special panel dedicated to the sequel which included Sandberg and some of the cast members.

The sequel was originally set for an April 2022 release, but due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the date was moved to November of that year. This gives the crew more time to develop the movie, and they were tight-lipped about any other detail apart from the title.

This leaves fans speculating about the narrative of the new movie and about the identity of the gods that are apparently so infuriated they made their way to the title. Shazam, the word used by Billy Batson to turn into a superhero, is an acronym of Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles, and Mercury. One of his most famous antagonists, Black Adam uses the word as an acronym for the Egyptian gods: She, Heru, Amon, Zehuti, Aton, and Mehen. So there is no shortage of gods to whom the title may refer.

Harley Quinn, DC’s adult-oriented animated series following the popular villainess, got great reviews but up until now, was mostly exclusive to DC’s streaming service. Now, the show is about to get more mainstream exposure as its first two seasons are set to stream on HBO Max starting August 1.

The show follows Harley Quinn’s efforts to join the Legion of Doom after she broke up with the Joker. The second season tells the Batman story arc, “No Man’s Land,” from Quinn’s point of view.

The show stars Kaley Cuoco as the titular character as well as Alan Tudyk, Jim Rash, Jason Alexander, Lake Bell, Diedrich Bader, Rahul Kohli, Christopher Meloni, Tony Hale, Ron Funches, Wanda Sykes, Natalie Morales, Giancarlo Esposito, and J.B. Smoove.

Harley Quinn is the second DC-based series to be streaming on HBO Max after Doom Patrol. However, Doom Patrol is a co-original of DC and the streaming service and the second season will premiere on both services at the same time. In Harley Quinn, this is not the case. There is also no news yet about the future of the series and if a third season is in the making.

The critics have generally been positive about it, but the reviews did not translate into a box office success for Birds of Prey.

The opening weekend for the Suicide Squad sequel was the worst of any other DC film. The movie made $33.25 million while Warner Bros. hoped it would deliver $56-60 million. However, the movie earned a further $48 million overseas, bringing the total earnings to $81 million – just short of the reported budget of $84.5 million dollars.

The original Suicide Squad, despite having problems of its own, managed to earn 134 million dollars in its first week in 2016. This decline can be tallied to the new movie’s R rating as opposed to the former’s PG-13 rating, a fact that may prevented the younger audiences from seeing it. Another factor that comes into play is the Corona virus which probably affected the numbers in East Asia – a market that Warner Bros. counted on.

These results are deviating from the recent success of Warner Bros. with other DC movies. The last three of those – Shazam (2019), Aquaman (2018), and Justice League (2017) – were commercial successes.

One of the most anticipated shows, due to be released on DC Universe, is the Harley Quinn animated series. In the Warner Bros. Television Block at New York Comic-Con, fans were treated to an advance screening of the pilot episode. The reception was enthusiastic.

“#Harley Quinn is something different for cartoons. It’s hilarious, it’s violent and absolutely not for kids,” wrote one viewer on Twitter, while another claimed it was unbelievable. “The crowd at MSG was literally screaming with laughter. November 29th suddenly feels too far away!” he wrote.

Other fans warned the audience about the strong language implemented by the show. “The Harley Quinn pilot was amaaaaazing. They said ‘f**k’ 20 times in 25 minutes because of course I kept track” she wrote. “This is truly the Harley Quinn we need and deserve” summarized another fan.

The show follows Harley Quinn – voiced by Big Bang Theory’s Kaley Cuoco – as a strong and smart villainess and her relationship with the Joker. She befriends The Riddler and Poison Ivy as she struggles to make it on her own as an independent villain.

The show will premiere on November 26.

This Friday we’ll have to say goodbye to Swamp Thing as the DC Universe show comes to an early end. But the series executive producer Mark Verheiden wants fans to stick around to the very end. In his twitter account, Verheiden teased a post-credit scene that will surprise the fans. He did not reveal what the surprise will be.

This cryptic tweet caused, naturally, a wave of speculations among fans. Theories varied from possible news of an unexpected renewal to a tease of Justice League Dark or of Constantine project. Other speculations claim that the series crew and cast will use this scene to thank the loyal fan base.

speculation about a renewal can maybe build hopes on the recent announcement that doom Patrol – another DC Universe original series will debut both on DC and on HBO Max next season. Some fans hope that a similar arrangement can save swamp thing.

One way or another, we’ll get an answer this Friday, August 2nd.

Despite many doubters, Wonder Woman not only exceeded expectations – it demolished them. Patty Jenkins’ DC adaptation grossed a stellar $103.3 million from the domestic box office in its opening weekend, making it the highest grossing movie made by a female director ever.

In addition to being a domestic success, Wonder Woman absolutely smashed the box offices worldwide. In 55 markets, Jenkins’ film raked in even more than it did domestically with $125 million total. Most impressively, it earned an amazing $38.2 million in China, which is the major market outside of the United States.

It’s known as the land of dreams, but Hollywood is also infamous for not giving women their fair shake. Female directors are rarely given a chance to work on big-budget projects, so Jenkins’ success is hopefully a sign of things to come.

Wonder Woman is more than just another superhero movie – it’s a wake-up call to Hollywood studios who still doubt the quality of female directors. This movie is also the first female-superhero franchise in nearly a decade and, given its acclaim, will most likely not be the last.

Patty Jenkins has struck gold, both in terms of critical and financial success. For most, her movie marks the first great film since DC started its expanded universe.

When stacked up against other superhero films, Wonder Woman earned more in its opening weekend than both Guardian of the Galaxy movies, both Thor movies, and the first two Iron Man movies, among others.

“Patty’s vision mesmerized the audience,” says Warner’s domestic distribution president Jeff Goldstein. “She is a real talent. Clearly, this is a movie that is resonating with moviegoers around the globe. I am sure we will be seeing a lot more of [Wonder Woman] on the big screen.”
