Fourteen-year-old Billy Batson is a street-smart foster kid searching for where he truly belongs. One day, he's summoned by an ancient wizard who grants him incredible powers. By saying “SHAZAM,” Billy transforms into an adult superhero with the strength of Hercules, speed of Mercury, and more. While trying to juggle school, family, and his new powers, Billy faces a strange new threat: Mr. Mind, a tiny alien worm with massive intelligence and dangerous psychic abilities. Hiding behind a harmless appearance, Mr. Mind begins manipulating people and building a secret plan to take over the world. Billy must learn that being a hero isn’t just about superpowers—it’s about courage, choices, and heart. With the help of his foster siblings and the wisdom of the wizard, he uncovers the strength within himself to face evil head-on. In a climactic battle, Shazam takes on Mr. Mind and his monstrous creations, using both power and cleverness to stop the villain. In the post credits scene we see a man with a scarred eye and long overcoat walk into the Rock of Eternity as he meets the wizard Shazam. He tells the wizard there's a greater power at play, the wizard remembers this man from an encounter years ago, this man took part of his power, Sivana, a dark figure comes up behind Sivana and tells him to end the Wizard, and so Sivana kills him.
