Shazam! Fury of the Gods has undergone a troubled promotional campaign already, but it seems Warner Bros. has no intention of letting David F. Sandberg’s sequel stand on its own feet. In what could either be called the dumbest move available to them or just a stroke of marketing genius, they’ve unveiled the sequel’s major cameo appearance, and director David F. Sandberg is understandably fuming with anger.
In other news, Star Wars rumors seem to indicate that the next major big-screen installment will arrive in just a little while, led by a creative that no one could’ve possibly expected to helm the galaxy far, far away just a few years ago.
