‘Shazam 2’ Off to Bad Ticket Office Start on 2-Year Snyder Cut Anniversary

James Gunn‘s brand-new DCU has yet to see the light of day– and shedding the old guard is showing harsh … both at package workplace and on Twitter, where it’s all Zack Snyder all the time.

Initially, there’s ‘Shazam 2’– which simply struck theaters this weekend, and is currently off to a hard start with a forecasted $30M domestic opening … among the worst for any DC film. Keep in mind, Zachary Levi‘s future in Gunn’s world moving forward hangs in the balance … and you got ta think of that his movie here (part of the previous DCEU) battle does not bode well.

There may be more growing discomforts for Gunn and co. prior to they can get to their real brand-new slate– which will begin with “Superman: Tradition” in like 2 years. DC has yet to launch ‘Aquaman 2’ and “The Flash” … both of which were finished prior to Gunn began.

Time will inform how those do, however for now … ‘Shazam 2’ ain’t settling. In the meantime, Snyder fans are commemorating the two-year anniversary of his “Justice League” flick– the “Snyder Cut” as it’s understood. And yes … they’re when again demanding more ZS superhero material.

There are a couple of “Snyder” trends going off on the bird app, consisting of folks contacting Warner Bros. to release the rights to Zack’s productions to Netflix … where he’s now making other motion pictures. The factor … they desire their man to continue the “Snyderverse,” with all those previous actors/heroes– like Ben Affleck, Henry Cavill, Gal Gadot, Jason Momoa, and so on

Obviously, that most likely isn’t gon na take place … however the impassioned fan base requires it anyhow.

Making matters a lot more complex is Zack himself … who, simply today, teased an announcement— thanks to among his huge DCEU bad guys, Darkseid. Uncertain what it is … however he had the web on fire with speculation– so ZS is not truly disappearing either, it appears.

And, one last Zack reference– where somebody was, once again, delighting in the splendor days– originated from bachelor’s degree himself … who was singing the director’s applauds in a brand-new THR profile today.

Bottom line … the DCEU has actually left some magnificent huge shoes to fill, and those shoes continue getting raised as everybody waits on Gunn and Peter Safran‘s vision to come to life.

Beginning over from scratch, as it ends up, is a long and laborious procedure. Lots to clean out from the garage, and not everybody desires the leftovers on sale … as WBD is now discovering.
