Shazam movie review with Easter Eggs and ending explained. Post credits explained.

Shazam! is a 2019 American superhero film based on the DC Comics character Shazam. Produced by New Line Cinema and distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, it is the seventh installment in the DC Extended Universe (DCEU). Directed by David F. Sandberg from a screenplay by Henry Gayden, and a story by Gayden and Darren Lemke, the film stars Asher Angel as Billy Batson, a teenage boy who can transform into an adult superhero, played by Zachary Levi. Mark Strong, Jack Dylan Grazer, and Djimon Hounsou also star. It is the first live-action film version of the character since the 1941 serial Adventures of Captain Marvel (the character's original name).

In 1974 Upstate New York, young Thaddeus Sivana is arguing with his father and brother when he is magically transported to the Rock of Eternity, a magical temple hidden in another dimension. He meets the ancient wizard Shazam, the last of the Council of Seven Wizards. Shazam explains that he has spent centuries searching for a new champion who is "pure of heart" after the previous champion went rogue and the Seven Deadly Sins were released by him upon the ancient world. The Sins, now trapped in statues within the Rock, tempt Thaddeus with promises of power, and for succumbing to them so easily he is banished back to Earth as unworthy to be the champion. Upon returning, Thaddeus' car gets in a wreck that cripples his father and for which his brother blames him.

In the present, Philadelphia foster kid Billy Batson runs afoul of the law while searching for his birth mother. Billy is placed in a new group home run by Victor and Rosa Vazquez, who have five other foster kids: Mary Bromfield, Pedro Peña, Eugene Choi, Darla Dudley and Freddy Freeman, his new roommate who is an amateur superhero expert and enthusiast. Meanwhile, a now adult Sivana discovers a way of re-entering the Rock of Eternity. Upon arrival, Sivana steals the Eye of Sins from the Rock, freeing the Sins and becoming their vessel. He uses his new powers to attack the Wizard, and later returns to Earth to kill his abusive father and brother.
