DC’s latest adventure sets a home premiere date of April 28, 2023. It’s time to experience the power of Shazam! Fury of the Gods
Get ready to incur the wrath of the Gods because David F. Sanberg’s Shazam! Fury of the Gods is bringing the fight to PVOD. That’s right, just weeks after hitting UK cinema screens, the latest DC blockbuster is flying onto home media on April 28, 2023, Warner Bros. UK has confirmed. What’s more, DC fans can buy or rent the adventure on all platforms, meaning you can enjoy the adventure from the comfort of your armchair – or even on the move!
In our three-star review, Phil said “Shazam! Fury of the Gods is an absolute blast. It’s action-packed, funny, and packed full of iconic DC moments and wholesome family values. And although it’s not without its flaws, Christophe Beck’s bombastic score coupled with a heroic finale and a wholesome family message delivers the superhero sequel we’ve been hoping for,”
But before we get ahead of ourselves, let’s explore the details and prepare for the clash of the century!

SYNOPSIS
“Shazam! Fury of the Gods” continues the story of teenage Billy Batson (Asher Angel) who, upon reciting the magic word “SHAZAM!,” is transformed into his adult Super Hero alter ego, Shazam. Bestowed with the powers of the gods, Billy Batson and his fellow foster kids are still learning how to juggle teenage life with having adult Super Hero alter-egos. But when the Daughters of Atlas, a vengeful trio of ancient gods, arrive on Earth in search of the magic stolen from them long ago, Billy—aka Shazam (Zachary Levi)—and his family are thrust into a battle for their superpowers, their lives, and the fate of their world.

RELEASE
We had an absolute blast with this Shazam! Fury of the Gods and we cannot wait to enjoy the ride again this Friday. David F. Sandberg crafted a perfectly enjoyable DC adventure.

Fury of the Gods proved that there is still life left in the current crop of DC movies before James Gunn’s universal reset. With The Flash, Blue Beetle, and Aquaman 2 all heading our way in the coming months, the DC Universe is far from done. And we are 100% here for it!
