When asked why he uploaded the two videos, Sandberg replied: "I thought it was funny." It appears, th♏ough, that not everyone was keen on the dunk.

"This feels like a weird shitty move by Bruce Campbell??" , 📖as : "That's so disrespectful, holy shit🌊, man."

A third person pointed out that Evil Dead Riไse was produced by Warner Bros, the same studio behin🦹d Shazam 2. "I don't understand why BRUCE [would] say that," .

"I really dislike how it's open season to shit on superhero movies lately. I think it's a good thing he's taking a break/leav♌ing it for now, it's all about punching down," .

Starring Zachary Levi as the titular hero, Shazam! Fury of the Gods sees Billy Batson and his superpowered family face off against Atlas's daughters Hespera (Helen Mirren), Kalypso (Lucy Liu), and Anthea (Rachel Zegler, who have found themselves on Earth as part of their desperate, murderous quest to ♎steal back the Wizard's magic staff.

Since releasing in the UK and the US on March 17, the movie has made a༒round $104.1 million worldwide. For comparison, Shazam! made $367.8 million when 𝓀it was released in 2019.
