Shazam! Fury of the Gods
Shazam 2director David F. Sandberg receipt the flick ’s foresighted holdup with a hilarious fake bill on Twitter . The pic is n’t slated for release until November 4 , 2022.The firstShazam ! , which was release in 2019 , starred Zachary Levi as Shazam and Asher Angel as 14 - yr - old Billy Batson . Batson grows up in a foster home with several other children , including his best friend Freddy Freeman ( Jack Dylan Grazer ) , who also eventually earn superpowers . All the kids in the primary casting are expect to come back forShazam 2 .
This will be Sandberg ’s second outing in the DC Extended Universe . He first advance attention in the film earth for his no - budget horror boxershorts , then directed two repulsion features beforelanding the directing fizgig forShazam ! . Given his background , Sandberg sure was n’t an obvious pick for a lightsome superhero motion picture , but he pulled it off . Shazam!was well - received by critics and fans , so it was an obvious determination for him to come back for the continuation . However , at this power point , much of the upcoming moving picture remains a mystery story .

This did n’t kibosh one Twitter exploiter from promptingSandbergto show off a bill poster forShazam 2after director Matt Reeves unveiled one forThe Batman . Sandberg respond with a clapper in impudence prototype that acknowledged one of the swelled difficulties for the film . The fake poster read , " Shazam!Now the nestling have facial hair . "
The stamp ofShazam ! – and , by extension , Shazam 2 – comprise a pack of child actors , and one of the difficulties of work on with small fry is how speedily they originate up . For cinema that rely on a new cast , it can present challenges when take runs long or there are large opening between sequel . There was only a two - year crack between the filming ofITandIT Chapter Two , and the young star still needed to be digitally de - aged . Shazam!filmed in early 2018 , so it ’s already been two and a half years . Shazam 2was supposed to film this year , but the coronavirus pandemic discombobulate a twist into that plan . presently , there ’s no word on when filming will start .
It ’s dear to see Sandberg is approaching what could bea major problem forShazam 2with good humor . Figuring out how to work around the actors growing up will be difficult , but asIT Chapter Twoshowed , it is potential to make it work . Sandberg unquestionably has his work cut out for him but , hopefully , Shazam 2will be able-bodied to start out filming sometime this year and mitigate the extent of the issue .
