After the disappointing failure that was Shazam! Fury of the Gods, star Zachary Levi has criticized Hollywood for its slew of “garbage movies”.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Shazam! Fury of the Gods star Zachary Levi has criticized Hollywood for the industry's constant output of subpar movies. These comments come only five months after the release of Shazam!'s DC sequel which marked one of the biggest box office failures for the studio. In light of this failure, Levi has expressed his overall frustration with the Hollywood industry.
Speaking at the Chicago Fan Expo while voicing his support for the ongoing WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes - as reported by Entertainment Weekly - Levi passionately slammed the output of the Hollywood industry. When speaking on the state of the world's leading filmmaking model, Levi had this to say: "I personally feel like the amount of content that comes out of Hollywood that is garbage — they don't care enough to actually make it great for you guys. They don't... And the only way for us to change any of it is to not go to the garbage. We have to actively not choose the garbage. It'll help. It'll help a lot."
These comments ironically come less than half a year after Levi's Shazam! 2 marked a major box office failure for Warner Bros. and DC. While Levi's heart is certainly in the right place, and his comments are somewhat warranted regarding Hollywood's constant output of below-par films, it also fits as a scathing reality to why Shazam! Fury of the Gods failed.
That said, Shazam! 2's main issue stems from the forgettable nature of the sequel. In trying to make a better ergo bigger sequel, the film lost sight of the heartwarming family tale at the center of its predecessor. While this shone through in parts, the bloated nature of a superhero sequel attempting to be bigger than the first film was ultimately Shazam! 2''s downfall.
