The recent release ofShazam! Fury of the Godshas not gone as planned for the DC franchise. The movie failed to make a splash in its opening weekend and suffered another setback when its second weekend saw a 68% drop in box office earnings. This underwhelming performance is a significant blow to the DC franchise, which has had a string of superhero movies that did not meet the expectations of audiences. The lackluster performance of Shazam! Fury of the Gods has put more pressure on the upcoming DC movie,The Flash. The film is expected to hit theaters later this year and has already generated much excitement among fans of the DC Universe.
Adding to the controversy surroundingShazam! Fury of the Gods, an article published by The Wrap claimed that Dwayne Johnson (Black Adam), rejected a post-credits scene featuring Zachary Levi’s character. The article also claims that Johnson undermined Shazam by promoting a face-off between Black Adam and Superman instead of promoting a battle against Shazam.
While Zachary Levi did not explicitly blame Johnson for the film’s underwhelming results,his social media post, which included a screenshot of the article and the caption “The truth shall set you free,” led fans to speculate that there might be tension between the two actors. Whether this is true, the controversy surrounding the film and the lackluster box office results have raised concerns about the future of theShazamfranchise. It remains to be seen if the studio will continue to invest in the franchise or if they will decide to move on to other projects.
