How much it is divinity have appeared so far in the DC universe? Many and not only in Shazam! Fury of the gods. The sequel film starring Zachary Levi introduced new mythological figures such as the daughters of Atlasinterpreted by Helen Mirren, Lucy Liu And Rachel Zegler. But they are not the only ones to have populated the DCU so far. Let’s retrace together the most significant sighted so far.
What deities currently populate the DCU besides Shazam! Fury of the gods
In Shazam! Fury of the gods, the divinities who have arrived on Earth are intent on taking revenge on the Shazam Family. Espera, Calypso And Anthea they are the daughters of Atlas, but of the three only one turns out to be extremely insane and stubborn in carrying out her plan. In any case, the daughters of Atlas are certainly not the first to populate the DC universe. Not all deities, however, are bad just as not all are overtly good. But let’s start right from Shazam, as the sequel is still available in theaters. His powers derive from those of the homonymous wizard, then transmitted to Billy Batsonits champion. Whoever wields the wizard’s staff gains the wisdom of Solomon, the strength of Hercules, the endurance of Atlas, the courage of Achilles, the speed of Mercury and the power of Zeus. Towards the end of the first film, Billy finds a way to pass on his powers to the rest of his family, founding a real team of superheroes.
Another deity that appeared in the DC universe is Aresthe god of war, shown in Wonder Woman. It is the enemy that Diana Prince absolutely wants to defeat in the first film and who has taken the form of Sir Patrick Stanley, thus manipulating human beings. In Zack Snyder’s Justice LeagueInstead, it appeared Zeus, also known as the father of Diana (played by Gal Gadot). Not surprisingly, Wonder Woman is defined as a demigoddess, fierce Amazon warrior. In Zack Snyder’s Justice League also appears Artemisplayed by Aurore Lauzeral, as well as Darksidethe ruthless ruler of the planet Apokolips, and Steppenwolf. The latter is part of the New Of the of the planet Apokolips and his task is to find three ancient artifacts hidden on Earth.
