Shazam! Fury of the Gods premiere, preview of "Shazam 2," shows us Billy Batson fighting a dragon, in addition to some images we already saw in the first trailer for the film. This new television spot reminds us that in March of this year, we have to get tickets to the movies to enjoy the further adventures of the beloved superhero.
Shazam! Fury of the Gods zachary Levi used his personal Instagram account to address his future as Shazam. Although the actor behind Billy Batson's heroic alter ego confirmed that he still needs to verify that he will pass on his version of the character after Shazam! Fury of the Gods, in a long video, the interpreter stated that he trusted his continuity as the hero and defended the DC Studios administration led by James Gunn and Peter Safran.
The 2023 movies come with everything, and we want to ensure we get everything! That is why we share with you the premieres of the whole year in this article; all the options are very promising, and we assure you of that.
Waiting to see more of "Shazam! Fury of the Gods" is about to end, as the film's director has just confirmed the release date of the first official trailer for the sequel film.
The director of Shazam! and the sequel to him has shared a new video on his Instagram account to celebrate Christmas.
After the success of Black Adam, which has already raised more than 353 million dollars, Shazam Fury of the Gods will be released, the sequel to the 2019 film where we can once again see the most likable hero in all of DC Comics.
Although these studies have also opted for feature films that present some of their characters in live-action productions for the first time, do you want to know more about it? Here's a list of the top comic book movies in 2023.
Marvel's defective spiral after a virtuous circle that seemed eternal opens a door for his eternal rival, DC, which until now, with few exceptions, has not been on par. And the franchise belonging to the Warner group now has a comprehensive plan like the one Marvel was able to develop with Kevin Feige. Some call it "DC Rebirth," others "DC: Genesis."
2022 was a turbulent year for Warner Discovery and, particularly, for DC, with the appointment of James Gunn and Peter Safran as the new ones in charge of marking the franchise's future. This involved the farewell to some great figures like Henry Cavill, who seemed ready to put on the Superman cape again after his cameo in Black Adam.
In 2023 be it at film festivals or world premieres– hundreds of films that moviegoers and casual viewers look forward to will see the light of day for the first time. These are some of them.
In this look, we can take a closer look at one of the characters that Shazam will have to face: a dragon. As confirmed in a recent interview by the film's director, David F. Sandberg, he is a completely different dragon from those we know from other movies or series. "With the dragon, it was like, 'we saw so many dragons in Game of Thrones and The Hobbit and all that stuff, so we have to do something different,'" he began to explain. "It is made of wood because it was born from the Tree of Life; that is what it protects. And it can emanate fear. If you stand in front of it, you won't be able to move, and it can come right up and eat you."
Next, we leave you a list of the most anticipated 2023 movie releases. And if you want more details about them, we invite you to visit IMDb, a platform specializing in cinema.
Filmmaker David F. Sandberg posted an image on his official Twitter account of a studio with a rating chart and a simple caption that reads "late this month." This would suggest that the first trailer for the Shazam sequel will be released at the end of January.
First, Levi remarked that although he does not make the decisions, he believes that Safran and Gunn are the best managers to command the future of DC Comics adaptations. And also critical of those fans who, according to him, only want to generate drama and complain.
On the Instagram account of David F. Sandberg, director of Shazam! and Shazam: The Fury of the Gods, you can see the new video he has shared to celebrate Christmas with all his followers and fans. The video shows the actresses Rachel Zegler (Anthea) and Marta Milans (Rosa Vasquez) dancing on the set.
For now, we have a few details on the plot of Shazam Fury of the Gods. Still, from the trailer, we realize that the daughters of Atlas, Hespera (Helen Mirren) and Kalypso (Lucy Liu), will attack the hero and his family to take away his can.
"Kraven the Hunter" is a Marvel and Sony Pictures Entertainment film. It is directed by J.C. Chandor and stars Aaron Taylor-Johnson, Russell Crowe, and Ariana DeBose.
Critics blame an identity crisis and a potentially messy transition period that kicks off with a clean slate now in the hands of James Gunn and Peter Safran, who are on a mission to relaunch DC Studios and guide their superheroes through the next half-decade. And beyond. A week ago, the duo returned to Los Angeles after weeks of seclusion in Aspen, where they faced extensive planning: now, like holy figures descending from the mountaintop, they hold the commandments for the new DC Bible.
In this way, while the wait ended, the second official teaser of the tape was leaked. However, unlike other occasions, this leak was not covert, much less prohibited. This is a premature broadcast of the content in Japan.
This 2023 did not start much better for the comics company and its audiovisual division since rumors about the decisions that will be made to give it a new direction continue to emerge day by day, generating divided opinions and conflicts between fans and the leadership. Fortunately, Gunn is fearless in taking over social networks to answer and clarify doubts.
As is customary, each year, films are released that seek to reach the widest possible audiences in the world. Among them are superhero movies, which annually generate worldwide anticipation for new installments.
This wooden dragon is going to appear in Shazam! Fury of the Gods, along with many other mythological characters. But everyone who appears has a connection to the film's main villains, the Daughters of Atlas, played by Helen Mirren (The Queen), Lucy Liu (Kill Bill), and Rachel Zegler (West Side Story). These villains arrive in 21st-century Philadelphia to challenge Billy Batson and his friends for "stealing" power from the Greek Gods.
"Shazam! Fury of the Gods" is a sequel to the original film released in 2019 based on the titular DC hero. In the sequel, Billy Batson and his foster siblings transform into superheroes simply by saying "Shazam!" since they are forced to return to battle against the daughters of Atlas. It is here that Billy will have to stop the daughters from using a lethal weapon that can destroy the entire world.
"I couldn't have picked better people to lead where the DC Universe will go. I have no idea the direction things are heading, but I don't need to know. I show up and do my job," the actor said. "I'm grateful to be able to play Shazam. I'm grateful to be super Billy Batson, and I'll show up to do that when I get the chance. And guess what, at this point, right now, I'm still that character. I have had no ongoing conversations. We have a movie coming out in March; it's even better than the first one."
In addition, he has accompanied the video with the following message: "Merry Christmas! When we finished filming Shazam 2, I told Lotta: 'Imagine it, we are going to celebrate Christmas twice before this movie is released.' Well, the last Christmas before Shazam 2 comes out is here."
David F. Sandberg again directs the film cast includes Zachary Levi, Grace Caroline Currey, Helen Mirren, Lucy Liu, Rachel Zegler, Meagan Good, Adam Brody, Djimon Hounsou, Jack Dylan Grazer, Asher Angel, Marta Milans, Ross Butler, Cooper Andrews, P.J. Byrne, D.J. Cotrona, Rizwan Manji, and Ian Chen.
Or at least a work plan to present to David Zaslav, the CEO of Warner Bros. Discovery, which has this content for film and television, and to fight hard against streaming.
Part of that plan has already leaked. According to The Hollywood Reporter, Patty Jenkins' "Wonder Woman 3" will not move forward, and she will be left for dead. The director recently pitched her idea, but Gunn and Safran, as well as Warner Bros. Pictures co-chairmen and co-CEOs Michael De Luca and Pamela Abdy, explained that her opinion didn't fit with the new plans.
It is common for production companies to prioritize other territories to capture more audiences in increasingly distant places. DC, by the way, has been in charge of doing it recently. Black Adam was the perfect example. The feature film had a promotional tour before its release date.
The most recent alleged information leak announced that Jacob Elordi was leading the race to become the new man of steel, as a description revealed that an Australian actor, starring in a trilogy of romantic films on Netflix and currently working at HBO, would be the one chosen for the role. These lines seem to fit the Euphoria star perfectly, but according to James, it is still being determined who the new Clark Kent will be.
One of the most successful franchises in terms of money that will continue to be around will be Marvel. The first film to be released by this studio, owned by the Disney media conglomerate, will be Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania. This film, which will be released on February 17 and the thirty-first film in the Marvel Extended Universe, is the third installment starring Paul Rudd as 'Ant-Man.'
Now that DC Studios co-heads James Gunn and Peter Safran are finishing up organizing the future of the DC Universe, there's no telling what will happen after this movie. But in a recent interview, Zachary Levi, who plays the character, commented that he is still the superhero and has not received any news that this will change.
Actors Zachary Levi and Ashe Angel will reprise their role as Shazam/Billy Batson, the champion of an ancient wizard with combined superpowers drawn from Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, and other mythical figures. Jack Dylan Grazer and Adam Brody also return to play Billy's disabled adoptive brother, Frederick "Freddy" Freeman, while Meagan Good and Faithe Herman play Darla Dudley, Billy's adoptive sister.
From then on, Levi stated that he understands that Shazam is not "dark and melancholic" like other DC productions but also has value. In that sense, the most striking thing is that Levi pointed out that independent of the performance of the sequel to Shazam! he is confident that Peter Safran and James Gunn will make the best decision possible for the future of the DC Universe. The actor defended the executive and the director from the criticism increased before the first details about his plans for the DC adaptations.
As Sandberg has pointed out, this is the last Christmas before! Shazam! The fury of the gods is a film that will hit the big screen on March 17, 2023. It is unknown if there will be other installments of Shazam after this since James Gunn and Peter Safran have yet to reveal all the details of their plan.
Shazam Fury of the Gods will be released on March 17, 2023. Then we can see other installments of DC Comics, such as The Flash (June 23, 2023) and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (December 25, 2023). They will also prepare a third installment of Wonder Woman and hopefully bring the Justice League back together. But what is clear is that we have guaranteed fun.
Jenkins who would have received $12 million for the third part - directed the two previous films, starring Gal Gadot (he expected a payment of $20 million) and released in 2017 and 2020. And the rest of the DC slate follows. Changing. Gunn's arrival is also the final curtain on the "Snyderverse" and the heroes outlined by filmmaker Zack Snyder for his "Justice League." Henry Cavill no longer returns as Superman, and there will be no more Aquaman with Jason Momoa.
Therefore, it is not surprising that Warner Bros. has determined to distribute the advance of the second installment of Shazam first in the Asian territory. This continent, by the way, is one of the least adept at superhero movies.
What is known about this new path that the character will take is that he will be younger than Cavill, but even so, he will not have an origin story; we do not see Superman discovering how to use his abilities. It's possible that, as Matt Reeves did with The Batman, we'll see Clark's early years as the hero of Metropolis while working as a journalist at The Daily Planet.
Shazam! DC's Fury of the Gods, Marvel's direct competition. However, two months later, Marvel will return with Guardians of the Galaxy, Volume 3, which opens on May 5.
We don't have to worry too much about Levi's future, as he was recently spotted vacationing with Safran in Aspen, Colorado. However, this may be related to the fact that the actor and the producer of the two Shazam films get along very well. To find out if Levi will continue to play the superhero, we'll have to wait until the end of this month, when the studio's co-heads reveal some of their plans for the DC Universe. However, we may have to wait longer. Shazam! Fury of the Gods arrives in Argentine theaters on March 16.
"Fury of the Gods" began development shortly after the original film was released, with filming occurring between May and August 2021. Although Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was previously thought to appear in the film after starring in the movie "Black Adam," it has been denied that the actor will appear with his character.
On the other hand, Levi acknowledged that he is a friend of Gunn and Safran but assured that the heads of DC Studios are making decisions not "because they like someone or they don't like someone. They're making decisions based on what's best for Warner Bros., DC, the entire studio and entity, and they're trying to make as many fans and audiences happy as possible."
Shazam: The Fury of Gods could have been the perfect setting for a meeting between Shazam and Black Adam, but sadly, actor Dwayne Johnson turned down this cameo, along with another one he was offered for The Flash.
DC still has a long way to go. Before you see the impact of Gunn and Safran's changes within the studio, we recommend you take a look at DC's box office numbers. Will the new directors get these numbers to grow?.
Shazam! Fury of the Gods was directed by David F. Sanberg, the same person responsible for the first Shazam movie, and whatever happens in the future with DC in these minutes, its premiere is set for March 2023.
It would be great if they got to pit Shazam against Black Adam since he has similar powers, and it would be spectacular to see him on the big screen. However, Dwayne Johnson has already commented on several occasions that he prefers his character to face Henry Cavill's Superman. So it will be very interesting to see what they prepare in a few years. At the same time, this link shows everything that has been released on HBO Max.
Both characters should make a cameo appearance in "Flash," the highly anticipated time travel adventure film that opens on June 16. And Cavill filmed the part of him in September. But there are doubts about whether or not it will continue. The Argentine Andy Muschietti directed Flash and expressed his desire to have it. Still, the heroic spirit of Richard Donner (director of the 1978 Superman), a reference in DC movies, would not be in line with Gunn's tone either.
Some initial ideas may be thrown after the publication of this content. Even though the video does not last more than a minute and a half, it is shown enough to increase the expectation around the project.
Kalypso and Hespera will debut as villains in the DCEU. The teaser looked first at the costumes they would use in action. This is also how a powerful dragon is appreciated and accompanies them as a faithful squire. Magic and the mystical will again be the plot's central element.
Also, the role of Rachel Zegler had more exposure now. The young Colombian-American actress will play Anthea, a teenager with magical superpowers. From what she had anticipated, she would be the younger sister of the enemies. Lucy Liu and Helen Mirren will personify the representatives of evil.
For its part, Reeves' universe will continue to be outside the official DCEU canon, telling alternative stories, as is also the case with Joker. Currently, both projects are working on their sequels and the spin-off of Colin Farrell's Penguin that we met in the film starring Robert Pattinson.
One of the people's favorite genres is usually action. And to warm up the engines, the year will start strong: the fourth installment of the John Wick saga with the celebrated actor Keanu Reeves at the helm will be released on March 24.
