SHAZAM! Director David F. Sandberg almost directed VENOM

It turns out that the director David F. Sandberg he was once in a situation where he was pursuing two big comic movie opportunities … Shazam! for DC and Poison for Sony Pictures. It seemed that both of his plans were his, but he could only choose one.

Obviously he chose him Shazam!, with which he did a great job! I can’t help but think that if he had directed Venom, it would have been a better movie, especially with Sandberg’s eye for horror. It would have been interesting, but we’ll never know what his vision is Poison it would have been.

Sandberg recently shared some information about his decision to choose Shazam! Over Poisonsaying, “I read the script and had a meeting about it Poisonbut I was already walking the path of Shazam!and I felt that I would rather do it than pursue Poison. ” Then he kindly added: “I thought Poison turned out to be pretty good, though. “

The next Sandberg film to be released will be that of DC Shazam! Fury of the godsand I just hope it’s as fun and entertaining as the first movie.

The film “continues the story of the teenager Billy Batson, who after reciting the magic word ‘SHAZAM!’ he is struck by the living lightning of the gods and transformed into his adult superhero alter ego, Shazam. He has the powers of six gods: the wisdom of Solomon, the strength of Hercules, the endurance of Atlas, the power of Zeus, the courage of Achilles and the speed of Mercury.

David F. Sandberg is back as a director and the characters and cast of the film include Billy Wood (Angelo Aser And Zaccaria Levi), Freddy (Jack Dylan Grazer And Adam Brody), Eugenio (Ian Chen And Ross Butler), Pedro (Giovan Armand And DJ Cotrona), Darla (Faith Herman And Good Megan), and Maria (Grace Fulton And Michelle Borth). Elena Mirren is taking on the role of Espera e Lucia Liu is playing Kalypso.

Shazam! Fury of the gods will be released in theaters in March 2023.
