Shazam 2 Director on Complaints

Responding to various Tweets from fans about visual consistency in the newShazam!

Shazam! Fury of the Gods Zachary Levi

Fury of the Godstrailer, directorDavid F. Sandbergdefended and explained his work.

@FanCultureTalkson Twitter noticed inconsistencies in theShazam 2trailer, particularly pertaining to how things were mirrored.

The video posted by the account shows two inconsistencies.

A collage of two screenshots from the second trailer for Shazam! Fury of the Gods. The upper image shows Shazam in what looks like a garage holding a staff which has a glowing blue top. The left side of Shazam’s red costume is burnt and damaged. A pink arrow points to the damage. The lower image shows Shazam in an arena looking up. The right side of Shazam’s red costume is burnt and damaged. A pink arrow points to the damage.

Then, a close-up of Shazam shows him shooting out lightning with his left hand.

@FanCultureTalks questioned these two inconsistencies, promptingSandbergto explain:

“I can [acknowledge this].

The last shot is him firing lightning a second time, thats why the staff leans like that.

A collage of two screenshots from the second trailer for Shazam! Fury of the Gods. The upper image shows Shazam in an arena with battle damage on the right side of his red suit. Lightning can be seen, presumably being shot out of his left hand (on the viewer’s right). A yellow arrow points to the bolt of lightning. The lower image is a wide-shot of what appears to be the same scene, though the lightning is coming from Shazam’s right side (the viewer’s left). A yellow arrow points to the bolt of lightning.

He put the staff in his left hand to shoot with his right.”

Separately, Twitter user@DareRider8questioned the seeming lack of shadows in a shot showing the wholeShazamilyall powered up.

“You dont get strong shadows in soft light.

Here you’ve got the option to see the edge of where the big diffusion was above.”

He cares that there are not any misunderstandings.

Fury of the Godsreleases in theaters on March 17.

The legs of Shazam and Mary can be seen in the center. A shadow of a camera can be seen on the bottom of the photo.
