Hey there, movie fans! If you're a fan of the superhero flick Shazam! Fury of the Gods, then you'll be excited to hear that it's hitting digital platforms(Amazon Prime) tomorrow, April 7, less than a month after its theatrical release. Warner Bros. just announced this exciting news, along with the reveal that Shazam 2 will be coming to 4K UHD and Blu-ray on May 23.
Now, it's no secret that Shazam 2 didn't quite hit it out of the park at the box office after its release on March 17. In fact, it saw a significant 69% decline in its second weekend, with John Wick 4 easily overtaking it. Ouch. But fear not, because there may be hope for this lovable superhero yet.
The marketing campaign leading up to Shazam! Fury of the Gods was a bit rocky, with DC spoiling the movie's biggest cameo in an attempt to generate more buzz. Plus, just six weeks before the release date, James Gunn and Peter Safran unveiled their DCU master plan, which notably did not include Shazam. However, director David F. Sandberg remained optimistic, saying that there was still a path forward for more Shazam in the future.
But wait, there's more! There's also been some drama behind the scenes of Shazam 2, with star Zachary Levi calling out Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson for allegedly blocking a Black Adam post-credits scene that would have brought the two characters together. Who knew there was so much tension between these two superhero powerhouses?
All in all, it's a lot of excitement and drama surrounding the Shazam franchise right now. Whether you're a diehard fan or just curious to see what all the fuss is about, you won't have to wait much longer to watch Shazam! Fury of the Gods from the comfort of your own home.
