Shazam's great DC superhero cameo! unveiled

By Jim Vejvoda

SPRAYERS in front of Shazam!

The very last scene of Shazam! before the end credits of the movie, we find the biggest cameo of the movie DC Comics – but not as expected. Yes, as it is said and so hoped, Superman appears in Shazam! … from the neck. And it is not Henry Cavill who plays it, although the costume may make it sound to some viewers that it is him.

In the spirit of the theme of the film, the fulfillment of my wishes, the last scene represents the DC fanboy, Freddy Freeman (played by Jack Dylan). Grazer) meets his Superman idol thanks to the alter ego of his adoptive brother Billy Batson, Shazam (played by Zachary Levi). Freddy was already boasting to his clbadmates at Fawcett High that he could get his friend Shazam to go to school for lunch. But when Shazam failed to appear, Freddy paid the price in public humiliation.

So, not only does Shazam have to make his way to Freddy in this final scene, he even invites his superhero and new buddy Superman to join them. Freddy, a big fan of Superman, does not believe his eyes. Tray of food in hand, Superman comes to sit with Freddy and Shazam at the table of their cafeteria – but we never see the face of the steel man, nor do I see him. hear about it. Superman is photographed from the bottom up, but he clearly wears the same costume worn by Henry Cavill in his Superman films.

While recent reports of Henry Cavill's departure from the film universe of DC have proved contradictory, Shazam! Producer Peter Safran confirmed to IGN that the filmmakers originally planned for Henry Cavill to make an appearance, but planning prevented him.

"We talked about Cavill. We only shot at this school during their school holidays, it was the only time we had access to it, and we just could not get our schedule running. We were going there, and we actually had more to do on the stage, you know, he sits down, they have a brief conversation, "Safran told IGN during a recent telephone interview. [19659010] "The truth is that we would not do it" I do not have it from another angle because we love to get started after Freddy's reaction, because that's what The film is about Freddy's reaction to the fact that Superman is serving him the meal, which is not really the dialogue we would have had afterwards. a bit of a hat on a hat, so it worked as it should. "

As to whether the Superman character could appear in a Shazam! 2, Safran was optimistic but without commitment:" Honestly, I do not know not if it's a path that we will borrow or not because we have not yet determined what the future will bring us erve for Shazam. "

"Personally, I'd love to see it," continued Safran. "I'd love to see Shazam interact with one of these superheroes because he's a boy of 14 years old and they are all anxious adults.I just think it would be fun. "
