The filmmakers behind official stills from Shazam!, but this is just the beginning.

In the latest issue of EW, a multi-page story put the spotlight further on Shazam! Near the end of the story, producer Peter Safran was asked about the character's future and he teased a bright path ahead. When he was specifically asked about sequels and how they'll deal with Angel maturing quickly, he reassured that they're already thinking about it. He said, "We have plans in place for sequels that take into those realities."

It isn't uncommon for studios, producers, and directors to have sequel discussions prior to a film coming out, but Safran openly talking about them is hopefully an indicator they're positive Shazam! is going to be a hit. This type of forward thinking on their part is a unique position for the film, though. Not only do they have to worry about Angel's look and voice changing as he matures, they also have Levi in the fold as the superhero version. Safran obviously didn't elaborate on their plans, but they should have it figured out by the time a Shazam! sequel becomes a bigger focus.

Even if Shazam! didn't get any sequels, this would still be something they'd have to deal with for any future appearance. It is possible that Levi could cameo in a film without Angel being present, but it could lose the kid superhero dynamic by not reminding everyone this is the manifestation of a teenager. However and whenever they get the chance to deploy these plans isn't confirmed so far, but we'll definitely know more if and when Shazam! is a success.
