The real Slim Shady shared some promotional material for the second Shazam! movie on his Instagram ahead of the comic book blockbuster hitting theaters on Friday.
Eminem, real name Marshall Mathers, had one of his songs featured in the initial teaser for Shazam! Fury of the Gods, so it makes sense he’d be promoting a film he contributed to. The trailer shared to the rapper’s Instagram flaunts the good reviews the film has received, as well as giving us a glimpse at Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman, who is set to appear in the film, although it will likely be a cameo. Fans reacted to the post, with many saying that they are more excited than ever, while other replies asked the rap god to drop his new album already.
This isn’t the first time Eminem’s music has been used to promote Shazam!, as the first chapter also featured the song “My Name Is,” one of the artist’s most well-known songs. The sequel uses “Business,” taken off of his fourth album “The Eminem Show” from 2002. If you don’t remember how it goes, you can listen to it in the first Fury of the Gods trailer.
The creative team has definitely made it clear they’re big fans of Slim Shady, and the rapper has returned the favor by promoting the movie as much as he can, even if he hasn’t written any original material. Mathers has been known to provide original songs for the soundtracks of comic book movies before, though, seeing as he wrote the credits song for Venom.
