Shazam! Fury of the Gods is hitting theatres later this year and it will feature the return of many fan-favorite characters from the first movie. DC fans have been wondering if there will be any surprise appearances from other DCEU stars, but it sounds like we’ll just have to wait and see. However, there will be one unexpected connection to Peacemaker, the HBO Max series that starred John Cena’s The Suicide Squad character. Rizwan Manji played Jamil in the series, and he will also have a role in the upcoming Shazam! sequel. However, director David F. Sandberg has revealed he’s not necessarily playing Jamil. 

Yes that’s Rizwan. Peter Safran recommended him for a part after working with him on Peacemaker. I said “but that’s the same universe”. He said “he’s barely in Peacemaker”. Little did I know Rizwan is even dancing in the credits! Could be same character 🤷‍♂️ Never named in Shazam 2 https://t.co/50rh5l76xo
