Batman, Wonder Woman, Superman … and Shazam?
It could happen.
One year from now’s Shazam! motion picture happens in an indistinguishable universe from the other DC films, EW can affirm, in addition to there are conditional plans to accomplish more with the character later on that could in the end include other DCU saints.
Stranded 14-year-old Billy Batson (Asher Angel/Zachary Levi) faces a daily reality such that the saints of Justice League additionally exist and consistently stand out as truly newsworthy — and Billy’s companion Freddy Freeman (Jack Dylan Glazer) is a major fanatic of these removed super companions.
Regardless of whether any of Justice League characters appear in Shazam! is obscure as of now (there’s been nothing to recommend that they will).
Likewise obscure: If there will be a real Justice League continuation, as one isn’t yet greenlit.
Yet, that doesn’t stop the Shazam! group from guessing about the likelihood…
We asked Shazam! maker Peter Safran: Will Billy/Shazam be in a Justice League spin-off? “I wouldn’t be amazed to see Shazam assume a part in the DCU,” Safran answered painstakingly. “He exists in that world.”
The thought positively energizes star Levi. At the point when the performer was made a beeline for his last try out for the part a year ago, the studio drove him past Justice League announcements and he pondered about the likelihood. “I would lose my s—if that happened, I would lose the majority of the s—s,” Levi lets us know. “I thought, ‘In the event that I get this and if this film does all around ok and if Justice Leauge does alright and they influence another Justice To association … perhaps I’ll be on that next blurb with every one of those folks.”
There is one of a kind test Shazam! movie producers would need to battle with, in any case. Notable superhuman characters are ordinarily unaltered from film to film. In any case, while you can have a grown-up on-screen character like Chris Hemsworth looking simply like Thor for a progression of motion pictures, or print a Shazam! comic book about a youthful legend who’s 14 years of age for quite a long time, it’s somewhat extraordinary when you have a high school performing artist (like 15-year-old Asher Angel) in a part as he’s quickly growing up. Be that as it may, Angel exceeding the funnies’ conventional portrayal of Billy is something the group has just considered. “It’s something we’ve considered and have designs set up for continuations that consider those substances,” Safran notes.
Here, you can see a trace of a Daily Planet daily paper feature about Superman on the divider on the privilege in this photograph EW uncovered yesterday:
DC is having its huge board on Saturday at Comic-Con so maybe we’ll get more Shazam! scoop at that point. Take after @jameshibberd for the most recent.
