The original film shot in Toronto, Ontario, Canada and there is a good chance that they could return to shoot there given the tax incentives along with Warner Bros. Studios Leavesden potentially being reserved for bigger productions.
The next big DC Comics release will be Birds of Prey in early February.

We all have a superhero inside of us — it just takes a bit of magic to bring it out. In 14-year-old Billy Batson’s case, all he needs to do is shout out one word to transform into the adult superhero Shazam. Still a kid at heart, Shazam revels in the new version of himself by doing what any other teen would do — have fun while testing out his newfound powers. But he’ll need to master them quickly before the evil Dr. Thaddeus Sivana can get his hands on Shazam’s magical abilities.
