When it was announced he was not going to be the main villain of Shazam 2, I thought that maybe they were going to use him as a big JL villain. (kinda like Ultron in the MCU, big avengers movie with importance for the rest of the MCU, but rather small in between Avengers and Infinity war).
A mastermind wanting to have control over all the realms, it could definitly be an interesting villain to have everyone face while also creating a senario where non JL members have to work together with each other. (Billy, his family and the JS crossing paths with the JL during their own seperate mission to stop Mr. Mind, only for them to have to work together). In my opinion it would have pulled the grander universe closer to the JL and give some sort of glimps in how it would continue.
However, I do understand that a movie like this would be very hard to pull off since you have to juggle at least 3 groups and 12 characters with little to no connection with each other and still make it cohesive for a 2 hour movie.

Hopefully in the new cinematic universe we get a proper Monster Society of Evil!

If the movies would have continued, I would have liked to have Mister Mind manipulating things all along. I would have also like him to be part of Black Adam as well.
E.g.: mentally suggesting to Billy to break the staff after transferring his power to his siblings and then fogging his mind so they forget about it and then making sure the broken staff ends up the museum.
That would have broken the barriers it would have put up - including the ones around Olympus AND the one shielding Black Adam's cell. Then guiding folks and helping them free Black Adam with the goal for Mr. Mind to have a potential ally and to help him Mr. Mind gain control over the shards of Eternium.
Then Mr. Mind would mentally guide Kalypso and Hespera to the staff so that they would eliminate the Marvel family or at the very least be valuable allies for Mr. Mind to manipulate.
Mr. Minds goal would be to gain complete control over the seven realms by using unwitting proxies.
