out himself as Pfizer critic, thereby revealing that he’s got more in common with fellow superhero actor anti-vaxxers like Letitia Wright and Evangeline Lilly than we previously realized.
Before this, Levi seemed like perhaps the only old-school DCEU lead his chances of getting a Shazam! 3 made and Levi will now be ing the likes of Henry Cavill, Ben Affleck, and the rest in the Phantom Zone of axed DC actors.
In light of these developments, then, The Rock’s refusal to have anything to do with the Shazam! saga is actually proving to be a smart move on his part. We all know Dwayne Johnson overshot the hype for Black Adam, with the embarrassing failure of the film blowing up in his face. So when news first emerged that folks hit back at him for allegedly thinking himself better than BA‘s sister superhero sub-franchise.
If Fury of the Gods is now set to be as mired in scandal and bad publicity as, well, basically every other DC production, though, there was a lot of wisdom in Johnson’s decision to distance himself from the Shazam! sequel. After his grand DC debut in 2022 didn’t go as planned, The Rock seriously needs to his goal of punching Johnson in the face.
We’ll see if Shazam! Fury of the Gods can pull it together and end up as a much-needed win for DC once it enters theaters on March 17.
