Shazam!

In 1974, young Thaddeus Sivana is pulled to the Rock of Eternity and rejected by the Wizard. As an adult he returns, frees the Seven Deadly Sins and gains power. In Philadelphia, 14-year-old Billy Batson is looking for his mother and lands with the Vásquez family and five siblings, including superhero fan Freddy. The dying Wizard picks Billy: when he says "Shazam!", he becomes an adult hero. Billy and Freddy test the powers and go viral, but Billy runs from Sivana. He finds his mother, who had left him on purpose. Sivana kidnaps his siblings, and at the winter carnival Billy shares his powers with them. The Shazam family wins, Billy accepts the Vásquezes as his family, and the Rock becomes their hideout.

• Mid-credits In his cell, Sivana scribbles symbols on the wall when he hears a voice. It's a small talking caterpillar, Mister Mind, offering an alliance.
• After the credits Freddy tests whether Shazam can talk to fish by having him chat with a goldfish. It doesn't work.
