'Shazam! Fury of the Gods' director says the sequel will focus on Billy's growth.
As fans gear up their hype and anticipation for Shazam! Fury of the Gods with the release of its brand-new trailer, director David F. Sandberg has provided additional insight into the film via an exclusive interview with Entertainment Weekly. While the latest sneak peek at the upcoming DC project showcased an action-packed spectacle, he revealed that the newest installment focuses on Billy's character growth with his family.
"It's sort of an extension of the first movie," Sandberg said to Entertainment Weekly. "He finally found a family in that movie. But now, we see him struggling a bit now that they're growing up. He's holding on very tightly to his family because he doesn't want everyone to just scatter and go do their own thing. He just found his family, and he wants to have them all together.
COLLIDER VIDEO OF THE DAY Despite the character growth the characters will face, Sandburg added that the upcoming movie will still feature the same lighthearted and upbeat tone that audiences loved about the previous installment but will also have some serious moments. "Zach [Levi] is so good because he is that kid at heart in real life," he said of Levi's performance. "But he also has serious range, and I think it's nice he gets to show some of that in this one.
Despite a massive restructuring at DC Studios after James Gunn's recent hiring as co-CEO and co-chairman of the company, Levi has reassured fans that he will remain as the character for the foreseeable future. Alongside Shazam! Fury of the Gods, DC is set to release The Flash, starring Ezra Miller in the character's first feature-length solo outing, on June 16, with Blue Beetle, starring Xolo Maridueña, on August 18.
Shazam! Fury of the Gods strikes its way exclusively into theaters on March 17. Check out the brand-new trailer for the upcoming superhero film below.
