The Unfulfilled Promises of the DCEU.

Shazam! Fury of the Gods, the first of four DC films scheduled for release in 2023, is facing lackluster box office projections and a sense of uncertainty as the DCEU comes to an end and a new DC cinematic universe is set to begin. The film's marketing has been desperate, and its lack of clarity in terms of how it connects to the new DCU may be hindering its success. Despite this, early reactions to the film have been positive, and it boasts a talented cast.
