Zachary Levi Reacts to Report That Dwayne Johnson Blocked Black Adam from Appearing in 'Shazam 2' End Credits Scene

Zachary Levi is commenting on the report that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson blocked his character Black Adam from appearing in an end credits scene for Shazam! Fury of the Gods.

In a recent interview, director David F. Sandberg confirmed that characters from Black Adam were slated to appear in the end credits scene.

“There were supposed to be characters from [Black Adam’s] Justice Society, but that fell apart three days before we were going to roll cameras,” he told THR. “So, Peter Safran, who produced this movie and Peacemaker, made some calls, and thankfully, Jen Holland and Steve Agee were able to come by on very short notice.”

TheWrap just reported that it was Dwayne himself who blocked the Black Adam actors from appearing in the scene and he reportedly also blocked Zachary from appearing in Black Adam.

On Tuesday afternoon (March 21), Zachary took to his Instagram Stories to comment on the story.

'Shazam 2' Makes a Soft Landing at the Box Office - Opening Weekend Viewership Numbers Revealed

Shazam: Fury of the Gods might have debuted at No. 1 at the box office this weekend, but it fell short of expectations.

The sequel to the 2019 superhero movie debuted across 4,071 theaters, pulling in $30.5 million in its opening weekend, via Variety.

The movie was projected to bring in $35 million to $40 million. It cost roughly $110 million to make, and another $100 millions more to market.

Zachary Levi Responds to Criticism of 'Shazam 2' End Credits Scenes & Speculation Over the Character Leaving the DC Universe

Zachary Levi is responding to commentary surrounding the end credits scenes in Shazam! Fury of the Gods.

Journalists and fans took to Twitter on Friday (March 17) and spoke out with some criticism for the end credits scenes as some believe that they won’t lead to anything in the DC Extended Universe amid the change in leadership.

The director of Shazam 2, David F. Sandberg, says that the movie did not change at all following the change in leadership at DC. Because of this, fans think the end credits scenes won’t be linked to the new DCEU.

ComicBook.com’s Brandon Davis wrote, “The issue I have here is if those credits scenes are never going to lead to anything… it’s a bummer. Between The Suicide Squad, Peacemaker, Black Adam, and Shazam! 2, it felt like the DCEU finally had a direction again – and *then* the studio decided to reset. Poor timing.”
