Shazam! Fury Of The Gods Reveals A Major Cameo By Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman, Including Implications For The Film’s Plot And Connection To The Larger DCEU
The latest TV spot for the upcoming movie Shazam! Fury of the Gods has revealed a major DC cameo that many fans had already suspected. Rumors had been circulating for months, with some fans noticing bits and pieces of what appeared to be Wonder Woman’s armor in trailers and clips.
New footage from the TV spot confirms that Gal Gadot will indeed be playing Diana Prince in the movie, as Wonder Woman makes an appearance in front of the Shazam Family. However, the clip also reveals that Taylor Cahill will be appearing as a “Fake Wonder Woman” alongside her.
Wonder Woman And Shazam
The TV spot includes a brief but massively spoiler-y clip from the upcoming film. Wonder Woman, decked out in distinct regalia, looks to Billy Batson as he motions for her to call him and says “stick to saving the world, kid.”
David F. Sandberg, the movie’s director, took to Twitter to warn fans of the spoilers, saying “if you want to go in fresh maybe don’t be online or watch tv with ads.” Sandberg also clarified that he is happy if the spoilers convince people to see the movie, but it’s less than ideal for those who were going to see it anyway and happen to come across them.

DCEU
The new footage confirms that Shazam! Fury of the Gods will connect with the larger established DCEU, something that will likely excite fans. With many fans upset about the upcoming reboot of the DCU. This cameo from Gadot will be a chance for them to say goodbye to the franchise in a meaningful way.
Furthermore, Wonder Woman’s choice of words when addressing Billy Batson as “kid” raises some intriguing questions about the film’s plot. The fact that she seems to know that Shazam is actually a child is a major revelation. And it remains to be seen how this will affect their dynamic in the heat of battle.
