Zack Sharf Digital News Director David F. Sandberg, the director of “Shazam!” and its upcoming sequel “Shazam! Fury of the Gods,” told comic book movie fans on Twitter that the new regime at DC Studios does not necessarily signal the end of his Zachary Levi-starring franchise. “Fury of the Gods” was developed and filmed before James Gunn and Peter Safran took over DC Studios and overhauled the DC Universe.
Does Levi’s Shazam have a place in the new universe? It will depend on how “Fury of the Gods” performs at the box office, the director says. “Hey David, I don’t feel like watching the movie because of the drama happening around DC studios,” a Twitter user wrote to the director. “It is just killing the vibe of the film.
There is a lot of uncertainty about DC’s Future. Just give us an answer, whether Shazam will have a role in future DCU.” Sandberg answered, “He definitely won’t if people don’t go see the movie.
What I’ve been told is that there’s nothing in the Shazam films that contradict the future plans for DC. So the possibility for more Shazam is there and if that’s what you want your best bet is to go see the film.” The future of Levi’s Shazam in the new DC Universe has been a question mark in the aftermath of Gunn and Safran pulling the plug on Patty Jenkins’ “Wonder Woman 3,” Henry Cavill’s Superman return in “Man of Steel 2” and Dwayne Johnson’s “Black Adam” sequel, three projects that would’ve belonged to the same movie universe as Sandberg’s two “Shazam” movies.
