DC people want Dwayne Johnson to be responsible for the failure of "Shazam 2": the hand is too long
2023-03-22
DC's new film "Thunder Shazam! Wrath of the Gods (hereinafter referred to as "Shazam 2") has been released recently. The film's media evaluation is quite average, and its box office performance after its release is also quite unsatisfactory.
And now, according to a report from The Wrap quoted by Gamerant:DC insiders believe that Dwayne Johnson should be responsible for the failure of this film and "Black Adam".
It is reported that Johnson vetoed the idea of making Shazam a cameo in "Black Adam", and at the same time banned the superhero organization "Justice Society of America" that appeared in "Black Adam" from appearing in the end of Shazam 2. This forced Peter Safran (currently co-chairman and CEO of DC Studio) to seek second-line heroes such as "Peacemaker".
However, it is also possible that this is Safran and Gunn's "sweeping the pot" behavior-the two did not hold the current high-level positions when the "Shazam 2" project was launched, and even if Dwayne Johnson has the right to speak in the film again , and it's also difficult to control a character that appears in another DC movie that has nothing to do with him.
"Shazam 2" is currently being broadcast in major domestic theaters, with a score of 6.1 on Douban.
