David F. Sandberg, the director of Shazam!, has apparently never spoken with Zack Snyder about his take on the DC Films universe. That’s a revelation he made on social media today, as fans wondered what kind of relationship Sandberg has with the man who originated the verisons of Superman, Batman, and other heroes that Shazam! alluded to and featured. Sandberg’s film, tonally different from Snyder’s in a dramatic way and featuring characters who had not debuted (as almost every other DC Films character did) in Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, has always felt slightly at a remove from the rest of the movies.
No, I’ve never met or spoken to him. I don’t even know what’s happening with the Black Adam movie, and that’s a Shazam character, so I’m not really in the loop on these things. I’ve just seen Snyder’s movies and made Shazam as if those events where real but also DC toys exist. https://t.co/HcF2URdksK
