The film will also include other young members of Billy Batson’s extended family, setting up the possibility of them gaining powers like in the comics.

Like nearly every one of Billy Batson’s friends and family members in the comics, Eugene and Pedro eventually gain powers similar to Shazam! While the film is unlikely to be packed with super-powered children, the future of the franchise could see things follow the comics.
The next year saw them join DC’s New 52 universe and further established them as Billy’s foster family members.
