End Credit Scenes for ‘Shazam!’ Explained

Warning: There are spoilers for Shazam! in this article. Proceed with caution.

Shazam! is finally in theatres worldwide and is certified fresh on Rotten Tomatoes. Check out our spoiler-free and spoiler-full reviews.

As with most Superhero movies, Shazam! carries two credit scenes. There is one after the fun animated credits and another that comes after the rest of the credits.

The first of these credits helps to set up a sequel.

After his defeat, Dr. Sivana (Mark Strong) is in his jail cell and is writing symbols all over the wall, which look to be the same symbols as the Wizard Shazam uses.

Sivana is no longer himself and with each symbol he writes, becomes more unhinged. Finally, he is stopped by a voice telling him there’s more magic out there and together they can find it.

The strange thing about is that the voices turns out to be a Caterpillar that was seen at the beginning of the movie in Wizard Shazam’s lair.

The Caterpillar appears to be the villain Mister Mind, the leader of the Monster Society of Evil.

In the comics Mister Mind and Sivana team-up so it looks like the creative team are gearing up for that.

The second credit scene focuses on Shazam (Zachary Levi) and Freddy Freeman (Jack Dylan Grazer) testing out more powers. In a nod to the previous DC Movie, Shazam tries to find out if he can talk to fish.

Choosing Aquaman could be a nod to James Wan, the man who started the Conjuring universe. David F. Sandberg (Shazam! Director) also directed a movie from that universe.

That is all from the credit scenes, with one gearing up for a sequel and another playing for laughs.
