Shazam! Fury of the Gods has sparked yet another contestation regarding James Gunn's new DCU, but in this case, the filmmaker is incontinently shutting down his critics. Themid-credits scene in Fury of the Gods reveals Shazam being signed for the Justice Society by ARGUS agents John Economos( Steve Agee) and Emilia Harcourt( Jennifer Holland). The contestation arose as a result of Holland's casting, with some angry suckers claiming that her relationship with Gunn, whom she married last October, has earned her recent bijous in DC systems like The self-murder Squad, Peacemaker, Black Adam and, most lately, Fury of the Gods.
Known for responding to incorrect or poisonous addict juggernauts, James Gunn was quick to put an end to any examens regarding his woman's appearance in Fury of the Gods. Only hours after the film entered wide release, Gunn took to Twitter to clarify her gem. Check out his Tweet below
Understandably fed up with allegations of nepotism, Gunn verified that he'd nothing to do with Holland's appearance in Black Adam or Fury of the Gods, citing that he was busy working on Guardians of the GalaxyVol. 3 during the latter's product. also, Gunn claims to have only cast Holland for her original DC appearance in The self-murder Squad, long before he took over as the creative head of DC.
What Does Emilia Harcourt's Shazam 2 Cameo Mean For The DCU?
Shazam! Fury of the Gods'post-credit scenes tease a bigger future for Zachary Levi's nominal superhero in the DCU. The appearance from agents Harcourt and Economos especially suggests that Shazam could have a future as a member of the Justice Society, which made its live- action debut last time in Black Adam. This marks the first time that DC has given any suggestion of the Justice Society's future in the DCU. The scene also suggests that, despite his recent meeting with girl Gadot's Wonder Woman, Shazam won't be a part of the DCU's Justice League in the future, as was always the supposition regarding his character.
Harcourt'smid-credits scene also calls into question whether Shazam will remain DCU canon following James Gunn's soft reboot of the ballot in coming times. Unlike other titles from the DCEU, the Shazam! ballot has been fairly tone- contained, making it particularly readily to fold the flicks into the new DCU. still, Gadot's appearance before in Fury of the Gods does complicate matters, especially after her own character's future has grown uncertain. nonetheless, the fact that DC did not pull Harcourt'smid-credits scene suggests that the ballot does intend to use Shazam in the future, though it's far from a sure sign that the character will stick around.
likewise, Emilia Harcourt's back- to- back DC appearances in Black Adam and Fury of the Gods further confirm ARGUS director Amanda Waller as the DCU's Nick Fury, continuing to gather icons into her own platoon, the Justice Society. Viola Davis's character is verified to survive the DCU reboot, thanks to her veritably own solo design, which will probably tie together some of the loose beaches left behind by the transition. Whether or not Waller and Harcourt's work in Shazam! Fury of the Gods will have long- term goods on the DCU, still, remains to be seen.
