Shazam!
The director of DC ’s upcomingShazam!movie says he ’s enjoying the time before the sports fan backlash of necessity begins . Warner Bros presently has a identification number of irons in the fire when it come to films based on DC Comics . The next few years will see a hustle of heroes hit the big screen , and it ’s clear that more will arrive shortly given how many character have a movie in production . And while WB and DC are n’t deal the same glide slope as Marvel , they partake in in common a desire for idiosyncratic directing choices .
Just as Marvel select James Gunn forGuardians of the Galaxyand Taika Waititi forThor : Ragnarok , WB and DC have made some interesting hires as they attempt to expand their slating of superhero films . Two of the more intriguing are revulsion director James Wan and David F. Sandberg . Wan will be helmingAquamannext class , while Sandberg will serve bringShazam!to theatre in 2019 . But while Wan has experience with a big budget film thanks toFurious 7 , Sandberg will be entering some dangerous raw waters as he accommodate Billy Batson and his superhero alter - ego for the self-aggrandizing screen .
David F. Sandbergposted to Twitter earlier about how he ’s perk up himself to the chemical reaction from sports fan when more is revealed aboutShazam!And present that the conductor has never been in a position like this before , he pronounce he ’s appreciating the lack of scrutiny he ’s under for the meter being .
It will be an interesting experience making a picture where no matter what choices are made there will be some who passionately hate you . — David F. Sandberg ( @ponysmasher)October 24 , 2017
Sandberg go away on to give an exercise of fans being mad about whether or not Shazam has a hood on his ness . Though a relatively new addition to the costume , it already has its advocates and detractors . And as anyone who ’s every put to work on an adaptation of a popular part can tell apart you , it ’s nearly impossible to please every fan who feels ownership for a work of fiction .
Nothing will truly be able-bodied to train Sandberg for the vitriol that over - avid fans often repose into creatives , but at least he ’s realistic about what he ’ll face . For now , however , he can roost soft . WithShazam!not shooting until early next year , niggling is bonk about the movie . We ’ve get wind rumorsthe Marvel Family will appearand seen hints of other popularShazam!characters , but nothing concrete is have sex . Even the lead function has yet to be cast .
Recently , try out tapes for Shazamandactors test for Billy Batsonarrived online , providing some tinge about the film . We know it will take place in a earthly concern with other DC heroes , but there ’s no guarantee yet that it will be in the main DC film timeline . But with only a few month leave before filming begins , it should n’t be too much longer until more detail aboutShazam!emerge .
