Zachary Levi was casting thunderbolts Tuesday, after a report circulated that ‘Black Adam’ star Dwayne Johnson blocked characters from The Rock’s film showing up in a post-credits scene in Levi’s ‘Shazam! Fury of the Gods’.
00:00Zachary Levi is seemingly admitting that Dwayne Johnson blocked Black Adam characters from appearing in a post-credits scene in Shazam Fury of the Gods.
00:09Members of Black Adam's Justice Society of America were originally slated to appear in Fury of the Gods,
00:15with filmmaker David F. Sandberg telling The Hollywood Reporter that the scene fell apart three days before we were going to roll cameras.
00:22On Tuesday, The Wrap reported that Johnson blocked the characters from appearing in Fury of the Gods,
00:28and that the actor and producer also nixed a potential Levi cameo in Black Adam.
00:32In an Instagram story on Tuesday, Levi shared a post mentioning The Wrap's reporting, and he added his own commentary,
00:39Black Adam was a passion project for Johnson, who convinced the studio to have the classic Shazam antagonist receive his own spinoff movie,
00:49rather than being included as the villain in 2019's Shazam.
00:53However, Black Adam disappointed at the box office, which effectively killed chances for more Black Adam in the DC universe.
01:00Fury of the Gods, meanwhile, also disappointed at the box office upon release last week,
01:05making the chances of a third Shazam all but impossible.
01:08Levi defended the film, writing on Twitter on Monday,
