It's f***ing wild that the Superman photocopy of a photocopy who used to go by Captain Marvel is more beloved these days than actual f***ing Superman in terms of modern movies.

Hopefully a lot more the former than the latter. Never at all liked Young Justice.

Funniest thing that can happen now is for Shazam to get to continue as a franchise and they recast Black Adam as the third movies antagonist. Which would have been Rock if his ego didn’t get in the way

Makes it even funnier that the Rock was a big baby about cameoing in their film and then stormed off when Black Adam lost a fortune.

That kinda makes sense, no way was Green Lantern gonna get an appropriately sized budget for a HBO Max show in a post merger world.

Maybe the movie would have done better if Rock had made some kind of cameo in Shazam 1. Even just a mention and a shot of a hierogliph or something could have generated some excitement for the solo film. I mean how many casuals even knew that Black Adam was related to Shazam? Maybe ita good Rock got a hit to his ego.

I think it would have done better if the trailer wasn’t two and a half minutes of Rock frowning. I like Rock movies. I love superhero movies. I still haven’t bothered to watch this for free on HBO Max. Don’t threaten me with a bad time.

Not kidding, I counted his expression changing 6 times (2 in the Superman scene!)

He did cameo in the first one but it was in a really wink-wink-nudge-nudge way, to where you'd probably have to know who Black Adam is in the first place to understand the nod to him.

They just mentioned a previous champion who was a poor choice. I am talking about actually showing the Rock. Promoting the movie he is trying to make. As it is my wife, who really enjoyed Shazam and usually likes Rocks movies had no idea Black Adam was tied into Shazam until I mentioned it today. But I guess Rocks ego wont let him get help from some "kids movie". His star power is all he needs right?

Levi is safe until his movie comes out and then we’ll see what happens. They aren’t likely to come out and tell you the franchise is dead before trying to get your money for the one that’s made. Ezra Miller is totally safe too. Until Flash comes out.

Ezra Miller is totally safe too. Until Flash comes out. Exactly. For what it's worth, I think Shazam will be rebooted too. It'll be at least two years before any sequel begins filming, at which point Asher Angel will be 22. The charm of the character is a child transforming into an adult to fight evil, and that's somewhat lost when it's an adult transforming into a different adult.

But that's a bit of a downer for these type of films >_> That said It would make me mad we didn't get the followup on Mr. Mind ... hell or any of Shazam's other villains (or really any of his villains cause Sivana was really Sivana in name only...) in film.
