Earlier today, I watched Shazam! Fury of the Gods at AMC theaters.
The film was as funny as the original Shazam! movie in 2019, but it was also disappointing to know that Zachary Levi's superhero will never confront his arch-nemesis, the anti-hero played by Dwayne Johnson in last year's Black Adam, on the big screen. Heck, Dwayne Johnson even refused to appear in the end credits for Fury of the Gods—and forbade any of the Justice Society heroes in his movie to show up in the Shazam! sequel, either.
On the plus side, another major DC character showed up in Fury of the Gods...with Gal Gadot's Wonder Woman appearing at the end to prevent the movie from having a totally-dreary ending. Gadot's cameo was revealed in an official Facebook ad for Shazam! a few days ago, so you can't really blame me for spoiling this for ya!
Time for a question or two: Did Anthea (Rachel Zegler) actually move all of those skyscrapers around in that scene where Freddy Freeman (Jack Dylan Grazer) confronts the two other Daughters of Atlas (Helen Mirren and Lucy Liu) on a rooftop—or was that all an illusion? If that was real, then I'm guessing a lot of Pittsburgh folks either lost their lives or at the very least got really dizzy from Anthea's shenanigans.
And why was Michelle Borth cut from Fury of the Gods? I had no idea that Grace Caroline Currey played Mary Bromfield and Superhero Mary until I went on IMDb to check the cast list after I left the theater.
Anyways, I wish Zack Snyder's DC Extended Universe was still intact for Fury of the Gods to have any meaningful impact to it, but oh well. I'm still excited to see The Flash hit the big screen this June!
