Three weeks after its mid-March theatrical release, Shazam! Fury of the Gods is set to hit digital platforms on April 7. This comes after the sequel to 2019’s Shazam had a disappointing box office performance, so far reportedly bringing in roughly $120 million worldwide–or barely breaking even, per Box Office Mojo data.

The new film sees Asher Angel’s Billy Batson transform into Zachary Levi’s superhero alter ego, Shazam, to take on the daughters of Atlas, played by Lucy Liu, Helen Mirren, and Rachel Zegler. The digital release will include both rental and purchase options, with a rental costing $20 for a 48-hour viewing window and a purchase costing $25 for premium digital ownership. The physical copy release date is expected to be on May 23.
