Zachary Levi, the star of Shazam!, has revealed that Warner Bros. and the powers that be want to make Shazam! 2 “as soon as possible”.
Shazam! certainly defied a lot of expectations upon release, proving to be the kind of entertaining adventure that many DC fans are eager to go on. But when can we expect to see a sequel to the film?
Well, according to star Zachary Levi, the studios involved want it to happen rather quickly. Speaking at Germany’s CCXP Cologne convention (via ComicBook.com), the actor said:
“The truth is, I don’t really know anything. I know that I’m gonna have a conversation with my bosses pretty soon about what the idea is and where we’re going with the new movie, but all I really know is that New Line, our studio, and Warner Brothers, our parent studio, and DC, and our producers and executives and everybody who’s involved in all of the decision making, they’re all very happy with what we did. They want to do even better the second time around, and they are crafting a story right now as we speak about what that sequel is going to be.
“The only other thing I know is they want to make it as soon as possible because those kids are growing up like weeds, so if we don’t do that in like the next two days, they’re gonna be full grown adults.”
