‘Shazam 2’ director is ‘done with superheroes for now’ after film tanked

Los Angeles, March 21 : After a slow opening weekend, Shazam: Fury of the Gods director David F.Sandberg tweeted a thread about his experience making the film and his future projects.

"On Rotten Tomatoes I just got my lowest critic score and my highest audience score on the same film I wasnt expecting a repeat of the first movie critically but I was still a little surprised because I think its a good film," he wrote, reported Variety."Oh well.

As Ive been saying for a while now Im very eager to go back to horror (as well as trying some new things).After six years of Shazam Im definitely done with superheroes for now.""Just to be clear, I dont regret even for a second making the Shazam movies," he continued."Ive learned so much and gotten to work with some truly amazing people.

Will forever be grateful that I got to direct two of these! Theyve been very challenging but valuable experiences.One thing Ive really been looking forward to is disconnecting from the superhero discourse online.

A lot of that stresses me out so much and it will be nice not having to think about that anymore."The Shazam sequel made a lower-than-estimated $30.5 million during its opening weekend.Given that the film cost $110 million to make and another $100 million to market, it seems unlikely to be a win for Warner Bros.and DC Comics.

Before directing 2019s Shazam, Sandberg helmed two well-received horror hits: 2016s Lights Out and 2017s Annabelle: Creation.dc/kvd #Shazam #superheroes #tanked David #Los Angeles .
