Vin Diesel should really start collecting royalties for all these jokes about family.

An "it's all about family" joke is just one of the gags in the newest trailer for Shazam! Fury of the Gods, which premiered at San Diego Comic-Con 2022. Zachary Levi is back as the titular superhero, the result of teenage orphan Billy Batson (Asher Angel) stumbling upon wizard powers that turn him into a super-powered adult. This time, he's joined by a crew of his siblings with similar powers, played by Meagan Good, Adam Brody, Ross Butler, D.J. Cotrona, and Michelle Borth.

Of course, every superhero movie needs villains, so this time we have Calypso and Hespera, played respectively by Lucy Liu and Helen Mirren. And yes, Zachary Levi references the long-running Fast & Furious series directly to Helen Mirren, who has been in the last two of those vehicular action epics. Vin Diesel might be the most powerful man in Hollywood.
