Now that the superheroes of Shazam: Fury of the Gods will take on Avatar 2 at the box office, David F. Sandberg has a great answer.

Shazam: Fury of the Gods director David F. Sandberg reacts to the film’s latest release date change and jokes about coping Avatar 2. The DCEU movie is the highly anticipated sequel of 2019 Shazam, which introduced young hero Billy Batson (Asher Angel) to the franchise. While the first film found Billy adjusting to his newfound powers, Shazam 2 will see him and his adoptive siblings take on new responsibilities as superheroes. Zachary Levi, as the superpowered form of Billy, leads the cast; in addition to returning Shazam Family members, Fury of the gods will add Rachel Zegler, Lucy Liu and Helen Mirren to the franchise.

Like many studio films of recent years, Shazam 2 has been pushed back on the release schedule several times due to the coronavirus pandemic. It was originally supposed to be released in April this year, but after some adjustments, Shazam 2 seemed to have set itself a date of June 2023. It went on for a long time, but the DCEU surprised fans by revamping the schedule again; Shazam 2 has now been increased by several months and will debut on December 16, 2022, a date formerly held by Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom (now moved to 2023).

As the sequel to the highest-grossing film of all time, Avatar 2 it is generally expected to be a major money maker. In fact, when Aquaman 2 If the film were to oppose it, many believed that Warner Bros. would push back the film starring Jason Momoa. Aquaman 2 now comes months later, but Shazam 2 took his potentially unlucky place. At least Sandberg seems to be keeping a positive outlook on the situation. Shazam 2 will be a very different film from Avatar 2, then there may be no reason to worry. The holiday season could help both movies find their audience.

In a sense, Shazam 2 debuting this year is a positive thing. Levi said last year that he actually wanted the film moved forward because of his excitement for fans to see it; now he got his wish. Sandberg is currently working on post-production, so Shazam 2 will almost certainly be ready for release at the end of the year.
