Shazam got a suit upgrade for Shazam Fury of the Gods, but why is his suit black and does it connect to Black Adam? The original Shazam! introduced a more unconcerned superhero to the DC Universe and the lower movie proved to be a good megahit for Warner Bros. The result was Shazam Fury of the Gods getting blazoned and entering an increased budget to heighten the action and cosmetics of a major superhero blockbuster film. This was apparent upon the first look at the effect where Zachary Levi's Shazam was shown wearing a much better suit than in the first movie. But, it still retained his usual color design.
The red Shazam suit with a gold lightning bolt in the center and white cape is formerly again prominently featured in Shazam Fury of the Gods' rearmost caravan. Curiously, the footage seems to introduce a new look for the teenage idol in an adult body. By the end of the Shazam 2 caravan when the nominal idol is fighting a giant dragon, he appears to be wearing a black Shazam suit. It's a conspicuous departure from his traditional look and rather looks more like Black Adam's suit. The colors match up with Dwayne Johnson's DCanti-hero, while indeed some of the texture of Shazam's black suit looks the same.
The look at a nearly full black Shazam suit in Shazam Fury of the Gods appears to be the capstone of the damage he takes in the movie. before shots in the caravan show Zachary Levi in his upgraded red Shazam suit but with patches of black on it. It's also important to note that Shazam's black suit isn't completely devoid of color, as some of the red still appears to be on his legs and lower torso in other shots. That further illustrates that the black costume isn't a endless change but rather commodity that gradationally increases throughout the film.
It would appear that Shazam's black suit is the result of his battles with the Daughters of Atlas in Shazam Fury of the Gods. The color change could be due to the effect that their magic has on him or indeed burn marks from the dragon. Shazam Fury of the Gods' caravan teases the vast capacities of the Daughters of Atlas and that they can use magic to take down the Shazam family members' powers. It's possible the important staff that they use might not be as effective on Shazam as long as his power is participated. But, it isn't a sign that Shazam is now Black Adam.
Not only is Shazam's black suit in Shazam Fury of the Gods not connected to Black Adam, but Dwayne Johnson isn't anticipated to be part of the movie in any capacity. Despite Black Adam and Shazam holding some DCU connections between them, a crossover of this magnitude was noway part of the plans. The Rock had veritably different plans for Black Adam, like fighting Superman, as opposed to being part of a Shazam crossover. As a result, Dwayne Johnson reportedly turned down a Shazam 2 gem.
rather of Dwayne Johnson's Black Adam appearing in Shazam Fury of the Gods, his DC character is now left without a future. Black Adam's poor box office performance and James Gunn's ideas for the DCU's future redounded in a decision not to bring The Rock's character back. A different decision on the future could have redounded in a last-alternate Black Adam gem in Shazam Fury of the Gods passing to save Johnson's future, but that still won't fit with DC's future. But, that doesn't mean that Shazam is getting Black Adam with a new matching suit before a implicit reboot.
