• The daughters of Atlantis do not appear in the comics. These characters were created specifically for the film and were played by Lucy Liu and Helen Mirren.
• Grace Caroline Currey, who plays Mary in both her human and superhero forms, replaced Michelle Borth from the comedic fantasy-action film “Shazam!” (David F. Sandberg, 2019) in this role. She simply has slightly different makeup depending on the form.
• The sentient feather Steve is derived from the “Historama” in the comics. It refers to a device that revealed the past, present, and future to its owner. In the comics, this device initially appeared as a television screen and then as a book.
• The film contains a reference to Italian film director Lucio Fulci (1927-1996), and Doctor Dario Bava (played by P.J. Byrne) is named after Italian directors who worked in the horror genre, Dario Argento and Mario Bava (1914-1980).
• The end credits roll with Elvis Presley’s “A Little Less Conversation” (1968). Presley’s favorite comic book character was Captain Marvel Jr.
• The film's release was originally scheduled for April 1, 2022, but due to the coronavirus pandemic, the release date was moved to November 4 of the same year, and then postponed again to March 17, 2023.
• DC Comics published a comic book about the main character’s family with eight stories by different authors. The plots of six stories were conceived by the actors playing the members of the Shazam family, the plot of another was conceived by director David F. Sandberg, and the plot of the last one – by screenwriter Henry Gayden.
• In the doctor’s office, Annabelle – the doll from David F. Sandberg’s horror film “Annabelle: Creation” (2017) – is sitting on a chair. Grace Caroline Currey played Carol in that role. Here, she plays Mary.
• When Shazam returns to the moment of the staff breaking, as shown in David F. Sandberg's film “Shazam!” (2019), this scene wasn't taken from the 2019 film but was recreated and reshot. According to Sandberg, he decided that the difference in the characters' costumes and hairstyles would be too noticeable, and, in addition, the role of the superheroine Mary was taken over by Grace Caroline Currey from Michelle Borth in the 2019 film. Shazam's cape no longer has a hood, and the superhero Freddy, played by Adam Brody, doesn't float slightly to the right of center as in the first film of the franchise, but stands on the ground.
• The film features cyclops among other fictional creatures. Their appearance is borrowed from the cyclops in “The 7th Voyage of Sinbad” (Nathan Juran, 1958), created by legendary animator Ray Harryhausen.
• Grace Caroline Currey, who plays Mary in both her human and superhero form, replaced Michelle Borth from the comedic fantasy-action film “Shazam!” (David F. Sandberg, 2019) in this role. In different forms, her makeup simply varies slightly.
• When Shazam returns to the moment of breaking the staff, which was shown in David F. Sandberg’s film “Shazam!” (2019), this scene wasn’t taken from the 2019 film, but recreated and reshot. According to Sandberg, he decided that the difference in the costumes and hairstyles of the characters would be too noticeable, and besides, the role of the superhero Mary was taken over by Grace Caroline Currey from Michelle Borth in the 2019 film. Shazam’s cape no longer has a hood, and the superhero Freddy, played by Adam Brody, doesn’t float slightly to the right of center as in the first film of the franchise, but stands on the ground.
