Shazam: Fury of the Gods Ending And Post-Credits Scenes Explained
Every superhero movie fan knows that you can’t leave the theater until the very last credits have rolled, but that is extra important information for moviegoers seeing Shazam: Fury of the Gods. There are two additional scenes to the movie once the credits begin, the first containing major hints about the future of the character of Shazam (Zachary Levi) and the end-credits scene teasing big things if DC were to go forward with a third Shazam movie.
Warning: The following contains spoilers for Shazam: Fury of the Gods. Proceed with caution.
After Billy (Asher Angel) is revived by Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot) in the final scenes of the film, the mid-credits sequence teases where Shazam might be heading in the larger DC cinematic universe. As Shazam is doing some lightning target practice, he’s approached by Peacemaker’s Emilia Harcourt (Jennifer Holland) and John Economos (Steve Agee) on behalf of Amanda Waller (Viola Davis) with an invite to the Justice Society.

Oskar Eklund, CEO & Founder of Hello There Games
I sat down with Oskar Eklund, CEO of Hello There Games, to talk about Kung Fury: Street Rage, the 5th anniversary update, and how the game originally came to be.
Eklund originally met Kung Fury writer, director, and star David Sandberg while the two were at Universal Music. Eklund (a Taikwondo fighter himself) had just led the studio in releasing Taekwondo, a touch-screen game based on the martial art, and was at Universal to talk to AVICII, the late musician the dev team had worked with for both AVICII Gravity and AVICII Invector.
The Creation of Kung Fury: Street Rage
Eklund and Sandberg met in a conference room and hit it off about martial arts. Sandberg told Eklund about Kung Fury and said he was interested in a game tie-in being made. After 15 minutes, Eklund was sold on the idea, and the team shared his excitement as they moved into development, hot on the heels of the Kung Fury short film’s Kickstarter success.
Kung Fury isn’t like most other martial arts films, and Kung Fury: Street Rage doesn’t play like other side-scrolling beat-em-ups, either. Instead of stage-based, “left-to-right” progression with free-moving combat, Kung Fury: Street Rage opted instead for no movement control, and only proximity-based combat using the Left and Right buttons for attacks (at least in the base game). Eklund said the choice was made due to the limitations of developing for mobile, combined with a very short dev time, but it also helps it stand out from its competition, having a more rhythmic feel than most brawlers.
Laser Unicorns (one of the production companies behind the film) and Sandberg worked directly with Hello There Games to bring characters and enemies from the film to the game, 1-for-1, bringing the original mobile version to life in a scant 2.5 months. Luckily, it found it’s audience, enabling the studio to work on story-based, expanded versions with voiceover provided by the film’s actors, as well as a lyric video of David Hasselhoff’s “True Survivor.”
The 5th Anniversary & Ultimate Edition
To celebrate the fifth anniversary of Kung Fury: Street Rage, Laser Unicorns, David Sandberg, and Hello There Games decided to create a whole new game; Kung Fury: Street Rage – Ultimate Edition. This new version bundles all previously released content together and adds more worlds, boss fights, features, new gameplay modes with free movement, local multiplayer, and even David Hasselhoff as a playable character.
If you are looking to jump in, consider Kung Fury to be much more fun with a friend, so be sure to jump into co-op together, or challenge each other in classic mode. Eagle eyed players should also keep a lookout for Triceracop’s confession, the infamous ‘Bluescreen’ reference, as well as references to Ninja Turtles in the most likely of places…
When asked about any future plans related to Kung Fury (or Kung Fury 2), Oskar simply winked and said, “Maybe?” We will have to wait and see what the future will hold.

Shazam 2: Fury of the Gods Review – The Shazamily Lair Is Too Crowded
Shazam: Fury of the Gods was actually supposed to arrive in theaters almost a year ago. In the time since then, the fate of the DC film universe–and content universe as a whole–has been turned on its head with James Gunn and Peter Safran taking over executive duties from Walter Hameda. While not a lot is known about where Gunn and Safran want to take DC’s film universe, we do know that they are essentially burning the house that Zack Snyder and Geoff Johns built to the ground and starting (kind of) from scratch.
This brief lesson in Hollywood politics and inside baseball is all to say that Fury of the Gods has not only the pressure of a pandemic-delayed film but also the fate of the franchise on its shoulders. The question on the minds of viewers going into the theater is not just is the movie good or bad, but does Shazam: Fury of the Gods make a case for the Shazamily to live on? Kind of, but not really.
Shazam remains a bright spot of humor and heart within the dying DCEU. The second film keeps the comedy of teenagers morphing into the bodies of their super-powered, older alter-egos intact and manages to weave in a heartwarming backstory even more effectively than the first film. In the sequel, Billy (Asher Angel) is months away from turning 18 and aging out of the foster care system. Faced with the fear of being turned out of his newfound home once the state stops sending checks to his foster parents, Billy is ardently pushing for the Shazamily to fully mesh as a group and cement themselves as a family before circumstances tear them apart. Unfortunately, they each have individual interests and goals that don’t leave them with much time or desire for teambuilding or family bonding. Trying to stick together only becomes more complicated when the three daughters of the vengeful god Atlas–played by Helen Mirren, Lucy Liu, and Rachel Zegler–arrive, ready to take the Shazamily’s powers to restore their decaying world after being stuck there by the Wizard (Djmon Honsou).
