After the success both critically and commercially in its debut, a sequel to Shazam! is in the works. The news, as first reported by The Wrap, confirms that Henry Gayden, who penned the original’s screenplay, is writing the next installment, while Shazam! director David F. Sandberg and producer Peter Safran are expected to return for the sequel.
The announcement is no surprise as the DC film not only set up plenty of story for potential sequels, with surprise cameos setting the stage for more heroes in this universe, but the film over exceeded expectations by taking in 53.5 million in its opening weekend.
