SHAZAM Director David Sandberg Is Only Joking But His "Script" Might Actually Be Perfect For The DCEU

David Sandberg had a bit of fun with DC fans on Twitter, revealing a small glimpse of Henry Gayden's "script" for WB's Shazam movie. But could it be an indication that Superman will actually cameo?

At first glance, it looks as if David Sandberg is really going to give fans an inside look at his Shazam film but halfway down the page, it becomes clear that Sandberg has played a hilarious joke. But perhaps there's a bit of truth in this madness?

While it's unlikely that Superman's going to be playing dirty tricks on Billy Batson, perhaps he'll have some other role to play in the film. There have been rumors circulating for months that Shazam, Black Adam and Superman's post-Justice League cinematic adventures would all be connected in some fashion so don't be surprised if Henry Cavill actually shows up in the film.  

Of course, WB and Sandberg actually need to cast someone as Billy and/or Shazam so unless things are progressing behind-the-scenes, DC's Captain Marvel movie still looks to be a ways off.

@hgokuh - I think it'd be cool to pit Shazam against Cyborg Superman. Not sure if it's the OG Supes in the JL trailer, but since they went with the Death of Superman, they may as well throw out the pseudo-four, and save the real return for an epic event a few films down the road. My two cents...


PS: The origin story of Cyborg Superman is a complete ripoff of The Fantastic Four. DC may have fun jabbing with that. My other two cents...

@Trumpool - This has been my most anticipated movie of the year since seeing Batman v Superman. Even more so since seeing the Ultimate Edition of Batman v Superman. Even more so after seeing the Comic Con trailer. I can't wait for this movie!!!!!

i'm not a big fan of this character but the thought of a muscle-bound kid getting in a drag-down fight with the granddaddy of all superheroes is infinitely delightful to me.

@MarkJulian god damn it how come not a single editor has figured out that his full name is David F. Sandberg and that David Sandberg is another Swedish director/actor?

Come on, step it up guys.

@Philip - Speaking of the other one, I'm looking forward to seeing Kung Fury 2. The concept art looks crazy and I can't wait to see what can be done with a real movie, this time around.
