[[WMG: SHAZAM! isn't set in the DCEU but instead in a completely different universe unrelated to it]]
Unlike any of the other DC Extended Universe movies, there is little to no connections or references to any events from really any of the movies so it would actually make sense for it to be in its own standalone, separate universe in the same veins as The Dark Knight trilogy and Joker.
** Plus it's already in a shared universe with the director's first feature ''Lights Out'' with the character of Emma Glover appearing so maybe it can stand as its own interesting little universe.

* On a similar note, Mary could be lesbian. It's well known that when she had her own acronym powered by goddesses, originally the "S" was planned to be for Sappho, it was changed to Selena at the last minute because of [[SocietyMarchesOn what were considered]] UnfortunateImplications in TheForties; making her simply not interested in boys would also sidestep any taboos about foster siblings as couples after her prior-canon relationship with Freddy and what might happen before she and Billy learn they're twins.

For some reason Billy'll be inside his closet - maybe he's hiding, maybe he's doing a WHIZ broadcast [[UsefulNotes/Covid19Pandemic from a makeshift home studio]], maybe it'll just be open while he's getting dressed, and in among the multiple red hoodies there'll be his ComicBook/TeenTitansAcademy school uniform and [[spoiler: Red X costume]].

[[WMG: The Wizard will appear in the sequel as a SpiritAdvisor to Billy.]]
In the original comics, the Wizard also died after passing on his powers. But Billy was able to summon his spirit for guidance by lighting a specific brazier in the Rock of Eternity. The same thing could likely happen in the sequel (with Billy doing so the first time by accident).

[[WMG: Atlantis was one of the civilizations destroyed by the Sins and the former Champion.]]
Vulko's story of Atlantis sinking is basically AndManGrewProud, but Pride is one of the Sins. Either the influence of Pride led to King Atlan's reach exceeding his grasp, or the Champion and/or Sins straight up destroyed Atlantis, and the story has mutated over time.

[[WMG: The sequel will be set [[Film/TheShopAroundTheCorner "in the good ol' summertime..."]]]]
The first film took place around Christmas, so I guess the second should be set in the summer, probably right after the foster kids' last day of school, and even also seeing them going on vacation (a la ''Film/SpiderManFarFromHome'').

It dropped to the ground the first time but not in the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1R4WEleCVDY alternate ending]]. Enough time had elapsed at that point for him to run the same battery of tests on the powerset that he had on Billy, and a few other experiments as well.
