David F. Sandberg, the director of Shazam! Fury of the Gods, recently responded to fans criticizing his decisions for the DCU sequel. Despite the film’s disappointing box office performance and mediocre rating on Rotten Tomatoes, Sandberg expressed surprise at the negative reviews but also acknowledged that he anticipated the box office numbers.

Responding To Harassment from Fans

Sandberg took to Twitter to address several harassing comments from fans about his work on Shazam 2. One viewer accused Sandberg of “ruining” the film by using a double for a scene featuring Jack Dylan Grazer’s character, Freddy. Sandberg responded that he enjoys discussing his filmmaking process. Another viewer criticized Sandberg for including a scene from the first movie in the sequel, to which Sandberg responded with humor and explained that he wanted to try something new with the film’s design.

Struggles With The New Superhero Sequel

Sandberg faced other challenges from fans, including complaints about deepfake concerns and issues with Wonder Woman’s cameo in the film. Despite the criticism, Sandberg took it all in stride and remains proud of his work on the DCU sequel.

Shazam! Fury of the Gods is now available for purchase digitally, and Sandberg’s willingness to address fan criticism shows his dedication to the film and his craft.
