In it, the original Shazam! characters have banded together to take down goddesses Hespera, Calypso, and a third unnamed daughter of Atlas. They are played by Helen Mirren, Lucy Liu, and Rachel Zegler. Seems more like the fury of the goddesses to us!

The comedic teaser trailer was released as part of the panel, with the show’s debut airing January 13, 2022.
