Shazam! Fury of the Gods is one of many DCEU films pushed back into 2023, alongside The Flash and Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom. The sequel, which sees Asher Angel and Zachary Levi return in the titular role, is rumored to feature the likes of Henry Cavill’s Superman and Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman.

With Gunn and Safran’s plans for the DCEU set to be revealed, Angel has shared his praise for the future of the DC universe.

Asher Angel teases “special movies” coming from James Gunn’s DCEU plan

Ahead of Shazam! Fury of the Gods’ release in 2023, Asher Angel’s recent interview with Josh Wilding gave DC fans an insight into the universe’s changes: “I feel really good with Peter and James coming on board. I mean, they’re obviously super talented, and super passionate.”

The Shazam! star explained, “I love how they’re creating this 10-year plan…there’s a lot of special movies to come and I’m just ready for Shazam to be integrated with some other superhero movies.”

For those unaware, the previous Shazam! movie featured a Superman cameo, although it didn’t show the actor’s face – leading to plenty of fans expressing their disappointment over Henry Cavill’s absence.

The movie’s director, David F. Sandberg, has been tight-lipped when it comes to the potential of any Justice League members sharing the screen with Asher’s Billy Batson.

James Gunn and Peter Safran have yet to disclose their new DCEU slate publically, so until then, be sure to keep updated on all things DC here.
