Shazam Shazam General Discussion and Speculation - Part 2

[Deck Rickard]

Lol, for real, I totally forgot about Hellboy. That's a shame as Hellboy was my favourite after I watched first movie. Even set my screen name as hellboy for a while, and now this .

Sorry, man. I loved the first Hellboy movie, though I wasn't a fan of the second one. Everything about this new one just seemed like a misstep, other than Hellboy himself looking really cool. Still haven't seen it but I'm not in any rush to. The sad thing is that this movie probably killed Hellboy's future in live action for the foreseeable future.

Since endgame is coming, do you think Shazam will stay the highest rated cbm this year so far?
(And lowest grossing undeservedly?.

Shazam shakes Magic 8 ball:
Outlook Not so Good

 

[SomeOldGuy]

This is good.

 

[Micromind]

Yeah this movie needed better movie Posters like this.

‘Shazam’s Marta Milans Talks Rosa & Movie’s Message — Interview – Hollywood Life

“If someone comes up and offers you a role in a wonderful superhero movie that happens to tell a story for kids, about kids, and offers you the chance to play the mom of all the superheroes, how could you ever say no to that? So that was one amazing gift from God or my guardian angels, but the other part of the gift, so to speak, is the type of woman that Rosa is, the heartwarming character that she embodies,” Marta told HollywoodLife.

“She is the bringer of love to the home. She is giving a home to all these kids who come from all different backgrounds, all different ethnicities, who feel like they don’t belong.

They are orphan kids and Rosa brings them together and gives them a home. It’s such a beautiful message to all the kids out in the world, from all kinds of different backgrounds, different countries, to feel that there is a place for us all even if we didn’t feel that we belong or that we deserve to feel loved.

To me, there is big importance about telling that story, so I’m just excited for all the kids out there to see it and to feel like they can relate to that on the big screen.”

Nothing new, but Asher Angel commented about the sequel.


Asher’s latest movie Shazam! was released in theaters on April 5 and has become one of the highest-grossing movies of 2019. There are so many superhero movies out there and Asher opened up about what makes Shazam! stand out from the rest. “It’s a few things: the fact that it’s the story of ultimate wish fulfillment,” Asher said. “That being the story of a boy who can turn into an adult superhero. Also, the family dynamic, the story, and humor. It’s a really fun ride and I’m so happy people seem to be enjoying it.”

A Shazam! sequel is already in the works, which means we’ll be seeing Asher’s character, Billy Batson, again soon. “I really love playing Billy Batson and the ability to portray his growth is what I most look forward to,” Asher said.

I still say Santa was the true hero of the story! He deserves a spinoff!

 

[Rorschach2012]

I'm not so sure a sequel is a great idea. This movie is the 67th highest grossing superhero movie in America and Mr. Mind will be difficult to sell. Maybe they should combine the Black Adam movie with the Shazam sequel. They're gonna need The Rock.

X-Men First Class got a sequel despite making $353m WW which is only $7m less than Shazam which will pass it within the next week and it had a much higher budget as well.

I think you also have to consider that WB released it as a New Line production, and it will be around the seventh-highest grossing WB/New Line film of all time. And the ones above it include three Hobbit movies (which there aren’t going to be more of), It, which has one more movie and then, well, that’s it, and a couple R-rated comedies. So as far as New Line’s franchise opportunities, it’s Shazam and The Conjuring universe.

As for Dwayne Johnson and Black Adam, I’m sure it will happen. He would definitely help in Asia, box office-wise.

 

[dhandler01]

Well seeing as Shazam was made BECAUSE The Rock wants to play Black Adam I would say it is about as certain as you can get he will be doing it. Whether that is in Shazam 2 or his own film as long as he can find the time he will have it made.

 

[I Am The Knight]

It's time to bring in Black Adam. The new villain being a cute alien worm is not exciting enough

 

[Lucellit]

David with Steve Blum, Fred Tatasciore, and Darin De Paul, they are the voice actors for the sins.

I think Black Adam will be the Kong: Skull Island to Shazam's Godzilla but Black Adam has the potential to be bigger.

[The Shape]

I don't think Mr. Mind was a great idea for the sequel.

They should cut to the chase and bring in The Rock, make this their "Dark Knight" sequel.

Yeah I don't think Mr. Mind is a good move at all.
Shazam this year
Black Adam next year
Shazam vs Black Adam in 2021
That's what I think they should've done but I don't know how they've planned it so far

 

[SomeOldGuy]

The problem with Black Adam is that they basically just did that with Sivana.

Studio: So, writer, have you got a villain for Shazam 2 yet?
Writer: Of course! You know how in the first movie we had Mark Strong play a guy with Shazam’s powers who beats him up?
Studio: Yep!
Writer: OK, so this time we have a guy with Shazam’s power who beats him up, except it’s The Rock!
Studio: uhhhhhhh...

I’d rather see Mr. Mind in 2 AND a stand-alone Black Adam film before they do a crossover.

 

[dhandler01]

Well part of it is also gonna depend on The Rock's schedule. The guy makes like 35 movies a year so you kinda have to find the time to make it when he is available.

The question is how does Black Adam get released? In the New 52 Sivana does it when he is powered up with the magic eye...which he no longer has. Mr. Mind has to repower Sivana...

He better complete Black Adam movie before signing on some MCU contract.

 

[Jonwo]

Mr Mind can be a great villain. Whatever Geoff Johns has planned for the current comic with the Seven Realms will likely be used for the sequel. I'd say make the Monster Society of Evil a forefront of the marketing as well as more action.
