DC Extended Universe's Ross Butler teased that the superhero costumes from Shazam! are getting an upgrade in the upcoming sequel Shazam! Fury of the Gods.

Honoring Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month, Butler posted a photo of himself as the super-powered Eugene Choi on Instagram with the caption, "This month is Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month. I am proud to be a part of an ever-growing community of Asian American entertainers and storytellers dedicated to preserving what makes us unique, redefining what is assumed of us, and setting a new standard."

Butler continued, "Thank you all for consistently showing up and watching, reading, listening to AAPI art. We do this for you. Side note: this super suit is from the first movie. Cannot WAIT to reveal the fresh updated ones we got made for Shazam 2! Stay tuned."

Butler's post came just weeks after it was confirmed Lucy Liu has joined the cast of Fury of Gods as the villainous Kalypso. Kalypso is the sister of Hespera, the character being portrayed by Helen Mirren. The duo, along with the unnamed character played by Rachel Zegler, will be presented as the daughters of Atlas and serve as the sequel film's main antagonists.

Adam Brody, who starred as the powered-up version of Freddy Freeman in the DCEU film, revealed in October that the Shazam sequel will have the same comedic tone that made the first film fun, noting, "I'm sure there'll be moments of real peril that you take seriously as well. But leaning into the comedy and leaning into the goofiness and the wish-fulfillment of it all is pretty natural."

Fury of the Gods stars Zachary Levi as Shazam, Jack Dylan Grazer as Freddy Freeman, Asher Angel as Billy Batson, Marta Milans as Mama Rosa, Helen Mirren as Hespera, Lucy Liu as Kalypso and Rachel Zegler in an undisclosed role.
