Much like last year's inaugural edition of DC FanDome, this year's virtual event did not disappoint and came loaded with surprises. Among them was a first look at the highly-anticipated sequel "Shazam! Fury of the Gods."

While it's not a full-on trailer, we were treated to a behind-the-scenes featurette that showcases much of what we can expect from director David F. Sandberg's follow-up to his 2019 DC flick. And we're here to break it down, taking a closer look at the footage, and what it might mean.
