It ’s only been a few weeks since Sandberg was confirmed as the helmer forShazam ! , but the music director has been having a lot of fun since then . Despite coming from a horror background , construct his name with films likeLights Outand this summer’sAnnabelle : Creation , Sandberg is forebode fansShazam!will beDC ’s most blithe film yet . And it ’s not hard to see why , given who ’s in charge .
Shortly after Sandberg was denote as the theater director ofShazam ! , he began take away to societal media to troll fans and inject some sense of humour into the DCEU . He first teased arather amateur take on Shazam ’s costume , before by and by joking abouta amusing struggle between the hero and Superman . Thanks to Sandberg ’s tendency , it can be problematic to judge which of his declaration are hints about the plastic film and which are design to mess up with excessively analytic fans . And when it comes to the director ’s latest production tease , it could certainly be either one .
Sandbergtook to his Instagram to share photograph from twenty-four hour period 6 and 7 of pre - production forShazam!At this point , the writing and storyboarding process for the moving-picture show is on - going , so there ’s only so much Sandberg can reveal .

The first prototype is notable for featuring multiple Shazam figures and comics along with toys for Tawky Tawny , Mister Atom , and Mister Mind . Tawny , a lecture Panthera tigris regularly shown as a well - dressed android , has been a part of the Captain Marvel / Shazam menage since 1947 . Atom and Mind , meanwhile , are an evil robot and nefarious worm , severally . apart from some version of Mister Atom , the characters all seem like long - shots when it comes to comprehension inShazam!Still , generate that the DC Extended Universe is currently looking to mix things up a routine , perhapsShazam!will take the franchise in a more gonzo direction .
It ’s potential these photos are just for fun . After all , the Joker and Annabelle both come along in the second one , too . There ’s also a proliferation of Coke Zero cans , in all likelihood a looseness on Sandberg’sfirst pre - production photofeaturing a lone soda of the same mixed bag . Regardless of the meaning behind the images , it ’s decent to know that Sandberg is betroth with his fanbase and willing to partake in some sort of insight into his process . As such , look many more playful images in the coming month asShazam!continues to evolve .
