Johnny Depp. The theory about “Shazam 2” is that it was removed from the center to not coincide with “Avatar: the sense of water, and now, many fans are wondering if this delay will affect the film in any way. That is, if Warner takes the opportunity to retouch it and add additional scenes, as usual in superhero movies.
Also, its director, David F. Sandberg, denied these rumors with a post confirming that there will be no filming. It was during a round of questions on Instagram Stories that the director asked his followers on Tuesday, September 5. When a fan inquired about the alleged additional scenes, Sandberg was very clear in his response, also explaining why the film stuck with the ‘Aquaman’ sequel date.
“No. I’ve seen articles saying Shazam will be” refurbished “, but that’s not true. The editing has been closed for a while and now we are with the final mix, color and visual effects. Everyone is happy with the film and we won’t be working on it anymore just because the release date has been changed. They thought the previous “Aquaman” date was better for us and that’s why they moved us. We will certainly not record again. “.
