Billy Batson s never been a team player, and becoming the superhero Shazam didn t seem to change that much. But his new strength and stamina will make football a breeze. After skipping school one too many times, Billy is offered a choice: football or detention. The Fawcett Tigers need a new champion their last quarterback ended up in the hospital, and the coach is pretty sure rival team the Fishtown Atoms are to blame. Between football practice and superhero training, Billy s muscles are getting bigger, but so is his ego. Will foster dad Victor s wise counsel and memories of his own football triumphs help keep young Shazam grounded? Shazam! Thundercrack is set within the movie timeline showing Freddy s vlog filled with superhero training montages, family pranks, and the new gig he took to monitor Billy s football practices (the cheerleading squad really needed a new mascot!).
