Shazam! Fury of the Gods Director David F. Sandberg on End-Credits, Easter Eggs, & Shazam's Future

Описание: Editor's note: The following contains spoilers for Shazam! Fury of the GodsBefore the Greek pantheon came for blood in Shazam! Fury of the Gods, Collider’s Steve Weintraub sat down with director David. F. Sandberg to dig into some of those lingering questions audiences might have after the lights came up. Considering the recent DCU acquisition, and the new directions James Gunn and Peter Safran will be taking, a lot of fans are wondering where that leaves Zachary Levi’s Shazam. Especially after those end-credits.

The long-awaited sequel saw Billy Batson (Angel Asher), or rather his super alter-ego Shazam, grappling with not only his new powers, but with the danger that puts his new family in. Fury of the Gods sees many of the first film’s cast reprising their roles, including scene-stealing Jack Dylan Grazer, and Grace Caroline Currey who gets to step into both of Mary Bromfield’s shoes. The movie also introduces the Daughters of Atlas, played by Helen Mirren, Lucy Liu, and Rachel Zegler, who we saw give the Shazamily a run for their money. Other familiar faces you may have seen include Wonder Woman’s Gal Gadot and Mark Strong as Dr. Sivana/Mr. Mind, and if these additions raised questions, you’re not alone.

During their conversation, Sandberg reveals tons of hidden Easter eggs, including some that seem to indicate the DC universe and The Conjuring universe may not be too far removed, considering Sandberg helmed Annabelle: Creation. The filmmaker also discusses almost having another Henry Cavill moment with the end-credit scene, teases who was originally supposed to make an appearance, and lets us in on what’s going on with Shazam in the DCU future and what that Sivana/Mr. Mind cameo meant.
