    SDCC: Rachel Zegler’s Character in ‘Shazam 2’ Revealed

    There has been a lot of speculation on whole exactly who Rachel Zegler might be playing in the upcoming Shazam: Fury of the Gods. While Helen Mirren and Lucy Liu characters were confirmed as villains, the early casting news was surprisingly shy on who exactly she might be. Well, San Diego Comic-Con is here and no secret stays a secret forever. Not only did we get a first good look at her in armor during the first trailer reveal, but they also confirmed she’s a Daughter of Atlas, Antaeus. For those mythology buffs, the name is actually that of the son Poseidon and Gaea.

    SDCC: Jaume Collet-Serra Confirms They Finished ‘Black Adam’s Final Cut

    Just a few months back fans were bummed to hear the shifting of power within the hierarchy of the DC universe would be taking a little longer then anticipated as the studio shifted release dates so that VFX could be completed on time. It seems thing are indeed ready to go sooner than we thought.

    As the cast of Black Adam took to the stage the director of the film himself, Jaume Collet-Serra confirmed that he has completed editing on the film and it’s now picture locked. Collet confirmed that he screened the film to the cast just the night before the panel as well.

    That’s a big deal for me. That means no more notes.”

    SDCC: Zachary Levi on a Potential ‘Shazam 3’

    Fans just got their very first look at Shazam: Fury of The Gods, featuring the return of the beloved Shazamily we briefly met in the first film. The film is set to hit theaters later year, after being moved up from its summer 2023 release date, obviously pleasing the fans. While the sequel to the 2018 film has yet to hit theaters, some are already wondering about the third.

    Zachary Levi was asked at the Hall H panel for Fury of The Gods about a potential third film, and if he would like to reprise the role.

    “I hope so…if you guys go and see this one and you like, then there’s a good chance that the bosses will make another one

  • SDCC: Zack Snyder Heading to ‘Teen Titans Go!’

    SDCC: Zack Snyder Heading to ‘Teen Titans Go!’

    In what might just be the most unexpected news to come from San Diego Comic-Con, The Hollywood Reporter has announced that Zack Snyder is returning to DC. Just not in the way some fans might’ve hoped. The outlet has revealed that Snyder is set to guest star on Teen Titans Go!

    The director is set to appear in the 365th episode of the animated series, which will be titled “365!” To celebrate their 365th episode, the Teen Titans want to do something special. This results in them heading to Warner Bros. to find a director, only to stumble upon Snyder. The episode will air on Cartoon Network this fall.

    Snyder, of course, has a long history with DC and Warner Bros. – with not all of it being great. The director helped to kick off the DC Extended Universe, before having to exit Justice League due to a family tragedy. Justice League would later hit theaters, but not without controversy. Fans would later successfully get Warner Bros. to allow Snyder to finish the Snyder-cut of Justice League, which aired exclusively on HBO Max last year before being released on home media.

    While it’s not the Snyder return fans were probably looking for, fans should be pleased to see Snyder’s still involved with DC… kind of.

  • SDCC: First Details on ‘Shazam 2’ Story

    SDCC: First Details on ‘Shazam 2’ Story

    We’ve all wondered what exactly the upcoming Shazam: Fury of the Gods film has in store for us. While the details are still quite sparse, the San Diego Comic-Con panel has finally started for DC’s future slate. It kicked off with one of the funniest entries in the franchise, and it offered us a small glimpse into what we can expect. As COVID hit and there’s the challenge of the teen cast aging to fast, it seems to avoid that issue they’ll simply have the film take place a few years after the original. That is not all, as it’ll also see how the team is established as heroes and they will face off against the daughters of Atlas in the upcoming film.

  • SDCC: Marvel Studios Still Hints at ‘Spider-Man: Freshman Year’s MCU Connection

    SDCC: Marvel Studios Still Hints at ‘Spider-Man: Freshman Year’s MCU Connection

    San Diego Comic-Con has given us its first Marvel Studios panel that unveiled a glimpse behind the scenes of the various animated shows. Among them is the reveal of Spider-Man: Freshman Year. When it was initially announced, it was hinted at Spidey’s early days to becoming Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universee. Yet, the first look has revealed it may not be that way after all.

    Not only do we see Norman Osborne become a mentor for Peter Parker, but it also hints at Doctor Strange having a role of some kind. Considering they only really met in the MCU during Avengers: Infinity War, it was taken as potentially a part of the multiverse. Yet, the official press release still includes the line that it “follows Peter Parker on his way to becoming Spider-man in the MCU.”

    “Spider-Man: Freshman Year” is an animated series that follows Peter Parker on his way to becoming Spider-Man in the MCU, with a journey unlike we’ve ever seen and a style that celebrates the character’s early comic book roots. Executive producer Jeff Trammel serves as head writer.

    It’s very likely just an old copy from when the show was announced, as we know from Spider-Man: No Way Home that Norman Osborne couldn’t find anyone with his name. Plus, Peter Parker seemingly didn’t know who he was. Either they go out of their way to give a reason why Norman never existed in the MCU until Peter meets Tony, or the “MCU” is just a way to hint at the multiverse connection. For now, we can only speculate.
