What’s New: Shazam! Fury of the Gods and One Piece

by Neil Bui

Pop culture is a never-ending world of updates, teases, trailers, and hopefully releases. What’s New Wednesday is Dorkaholics’ way to keep us all up to date with what’s new across comics, tv, film, games, and more! This week, the focus is on updates on Shazam! Fury of the Gods and the One Piece adaptation by Netflix.

  1. New Trailer for Shazam! Fury of the Gods

From the latest trailer for Shazam! Fury of the Gods, it’s clear that Daughters of Atlas are after the powers of the Shazam family and at one point their efforts result in most of the family losing their powers. One thing to note is that it seems only 2 of the 3 daughters play a villainous role, likely setting up the last daughter to be an ally to Billy and his siblings.
