Judging by its sizable opening I’m assuming by now most folks have seen the infectiously enjoyable Shazam.  This movie has turned into a real slam dunk for the haggard DC Entertainment and seems to mark a turning point where their movies go from polarizing dregs like Suicide Squad and Dawn of Justice to a new era of popular if disconnected hits like Aquaman and Shazam.  

In any event, WB seems to have faith in this as they’ve already re-upped the creative team behind Shazam to begin work on a sequel, which means I get to start speculating on who we might see in said sequel.  I’m not going to address the very obvious appearances in the sequel set-up by Shazam’s post-credits scene but there are still a number of characters from the Shazam mythos and beyond that, I think we can expect to see in whatever adventures are next in store for Shazam and his marvelous family.

So, Shazam is upon us and, for a change of pace, DC’s new blockbuster seems to be doing really well.  That’s not a huge shake-up to be fair as Aquaman and Wonder Woman both found a major audience and received overall positive reviews, it largely just feels like Shazam’s place as the third success under DC’s belt has finally marked the company exiting the shadows and making good movies for a change.  A big part of that change has been a shift in approach to the idea of continuity.  

Previously DC films were all about crafting a meticulous extended universe of inter-connected plot points and characters.  More recently that particular wrinkle has taken a serious backseat to things like good characters and fun action, which is absolutely for the best.  However, it’s not as if the DC films are completely devoid of Easter Eggs, shocking cameos, or post-credit scene teases and Shazam was no exception.  As such, I’ve put together this list of 5 shocking appearances in Shazam.
