Shazam 2 director David F. Sandberg has revealed a rarity in superhero cinema: an Easter egg that isn’t going to🐲 make the cut when the DC sequel releases in theaters on June 3, 2023.

Taking to his Instagram account, Sandberg – who is currently filming the Shazam sequel Fury of the Gods – outlined a planned nod to his horror movie, Lights Out. In the background of one scene was originally supposed to be posters for both the 2016 cult classic an♛d seminal ‘80s adventure The Goonies. Take a look at the set photo below.

Sandberg said, however, that the set dress🥃ing is not part of the finished product of Shazam 2 "since we ended up shooting the scenes in this room in a way where you never see this part of the wall."

Still, Fury of the Gods is likely to have a few background breadc🦩rumbs with ties to the wider DC universe. The original movie, after all, had its fair share of Easter eggs – and even included a Superman cameo during its end scene.

Sandberg, meanwhile, has had better luck elsewhere on screen and assembled a seriously impressive cast to bolster the sequel. 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Helen Mirren has been🔥 cast as♛ villain Hespera, while Lucy Liu has a💛lso joined proceedings for the movie, which is currently in production.

While we’re two years out from Billy Batson’s return, DC is bringing the thunder elsewhere: 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad is out this August and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:is followed in 2022 by Dwayne John🅷son as Shaza♛m’s nemesis, Black Adam.

Later in the year, The Flash is kicking the multiverse into overdrive, with the Andy Muschietti-directed standalone also featuring appearances from not one, but two Batman actors: Ben Affleck and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Michael Keaton. Then, Jason Momoa is set to make a splash with the follow up to billion-dollar hit Aquaman – with James Wan potentially returning as director. Away from the DCEU, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Batman is also set for 2022.

It’s an exciting time, then, to be a DC fan. For more on the future of crimefighters and world-savers on the big screen, check out our guide to 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new superhero movies.
