Shazam!
Work on the next film in the DC Extended Universe began on Tuesday , asShazam!director David F. Sandberg posted a canonic but meaningful picture stand for the origin of pre - production on his superhero film .
We ’ve been hearing about a potentialShazam!filmfor years now , with several imitation starts and long - waiting periods that have lead the project to be dominate by news about other DCEU projects . Dwayne Johnson was prepare to play the eponymous superhero ’s mischievous nemesis Black Adam for a number of years , before it was announced that he would get his own DCEU film alternatively . Then , in July , Lights OutandAnnabelle : Creationdirector David F. Sandberg signed onto the film - and now we have further evidence thatShazam!is moving along on schedule , to make its current April 2019 departure date .
With yield expected to begin in the first quarter of 2018 , Sandberg has some 4 - 7 month to finalize his cast and gang , finalise shooting locations and complete other sundry tasks , ahead of principal photography get afoot . gratuitous to say , he ’s got a lot of work to do and the director has now formally gotten start , posting on his Instagrampage a pic of his vacuous rampart at Warner Brothers Studio , California , to lionise the beginning of pre - production :

Sandberg ’s exposure is obviously less revealing and more emblematical , almost as if he ’s begin from literal scratch to build up his superhero smash hit . Besides some oculus - catch Coke product position , there ’s not much to seem at here , beyond a notification of the director ’s low source at the outset of this labor . If this is his office for the duration of output on the film , one could require these paries to presently be filled with storyboard sketches , storey bank note idea , and shed photograph for the doer in the film , including thetwo different actorsplaying the principal superhero .
Beyond a fewjoking teaseson Sandberg ’s Twitter Thomas Nelson Page , we still know next to nothing aboutShazam!.As was mentioned in the first place , Black Adam is no longer set to appear inShazam ! , thanks Johnson dumbfound his own DCEU movie deal . That takes aside what we considered the only certainty of the film , beyond it being one of themore blithesome endeavour in the DCEUso far , thanks to its assumption . fortuitously , based on this update from Sandberg , it seems that we can bear to learn much more about the film in ecumenical , over the next few calendar month .
