Zachary Levi Speaks Out on Shazam! 2's Marketing and Fan Backlash.

Shazam! Fury of the Gods' underwhelming box office performance has led to recriminations, with star Zachary Levi endorsing a story that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's power play to put his character Black Adam at the core of the DC Universe undermined the film. Levi also agreed that embittered fans of the Zack Snyder DC films wanted his movie to fail. Meanwhile, other members of the cast and crew have been defending the movie, with director David F. Sandberg blaming critics for not getting it. The DC Universe is in a state of transition, with chaos expected to continue for a while yet.
