While Marvel multiverse cameos are the main source of rumors at the moment, DC has their own character crossovers coming, according to reports aboutShazam! Fury of the Gods. StarRachel Zeglerhas now added to whispers thatGal Gadotwill be making an appearance as Wonder Woman in the movie, which now arrives in cinemas this Christmas. While there is obviously no official confirmation of the rumors, Warner Bros. does seem to be attempting to add some kind of connecting thread through the upcoming DCEU projects, and having Wonder Woman drop in would help make that connection withShazam’s sequel.
In the new issue ofEmpire Magazine, Zegler was discussing her upcoming appearance in Disney’s live-action remake ofSnow White and the Seven Dwarfs,which also stars Gadot as the evil Queen. During the interview, the young actress hinted that she has previously worked with Gadot on screen, which could only be in the new DC movie. She told the magazine:
“I’m not going to say much, but [filming Snow White] wasn’t our first meeting.”
Having had a very limited run of movie appearances so far, there is not really much room to doubt that Zegler is referring to her role alongside Helen Mirren and Lucy Liu inShazam! Fury of the Gods. Having originally been scheduled for release in 2023, theShazam!sequel became the only movie in Warner Bros. recent release shuffle to be pulled forward, being one of the only upcoming movies that is practically complete and ready to go. While there is still a lot of unknowns aboutShazam! Fury of the Gods, there have been a lot of images seen from the set as well as little bits of information leaked by the cast.
Shazam! Fury of The Gods Trailer Not Expected To Arrive Until Autumn Despite Jump in Release Date
While we will likely have to wait untilShazam! Fury of the Godsis released in December to find out if Gal Gadot does indeed make an appearance in the movie, fans are hoping that a trailer will be released well ahead of the film. However, director David F. Sandberg recently said that he doesn’t know when the trailer might drop, but almost confirmed that this year’s DC FanDome event will feature footage from Shazam’s sequel. With the event usually arriving at the end of summer, beginning of fall that is still quite a wait for those desperate to see something from the new movie.
That said, Dwayne Johnson’s Shazam spin-off movie,Black Adam, was one of the films pushed back in the schedule, now arriving at the end of July. Considering the connection between the two movies, there is a good chance that Warner Bros. might choose to drop a first trailer or at least a teaser around the same time. Whenever the trailer does finally drop, there is certainly a lot of enthusiasm around the movie, with Zachary Levy and his fellow co-stars having raved about the second movie being better than the first and well worth the three-year wait.
