DC has certainly dominated the conversation in the comic book film and TV realm this week, what with the imminent release of Shazam! Fury of the Gods. That said, the widespread dominance of the MCU means that the Zachary Levi sequel can’t escape comparison to Marvel‘s offerings — even if it may avoid one of that franchise’s pitfalls. Meanwhile, a Spider-Man: No Way Home star might not be done with their role as Daredevil: Born Again fans get fearful all over again.
Shazam! Fury of the Gods director admits he deliberately designed it to avoid his biggest bugbear with the MCU
It remains to be seen whether Fury of the Gods — which is earning pretty lukewarm reviews and is headed for an underwhelming opening weekend at the box office — will manage to succeed where many of Marvel’s recent outings have slipped up. However, director David F. Sandberg is confident that it improves on the MCU formula in one key way. The filmmaker has admitted that he’s not a fan of the intense “serialization” of Marvel content that he claims causes the studio’s productions to blur together, so he deliberately sought for Shazam! 2 to be its own self-contained adventure.
