So, given that, I’m more curious about her design and the look of Mary as Shazam. She’s going to figure it all out.ĪIPT: What I like about Mary is she knows she needs to be a hero, but she’s also ready to get away from all this madness and have a normal life away from it all. She is going to go to college and save the day. And again, it’s another great jumping on point for somebody who doesn’t know her history, but knows she’s fun and funny. It’s not something that Freddie or Eugene or Darla or Pedro have had to do. It’s not something that Billy has had to grapple with. What was exciting for me about writing her was it’s something that I think sets her apart from the other Shazam family members. For me, this Mary is somebody who she’s a little older, but she’s still she’s still got that sense of humor, and she’s still got that sense of fun about her, but that determination is there to make her life her own. In the old comics, she was this delightful character who could knock you out with one blow. She’s got a bunch of decisions, which sort of encapsulates what mary is like, this joy and the determination combined. JC: Well, for me, it was it was the fact that it was this moment in her life, where things are turned upside down for her again. How would you describe her characterization here? She’s obviously been through a lot, and she’s just trying to find that balance. Courtesy of DC Comics.ĪIPT: Given that, I wanted to talk more about Mary’s personality.

So I definitely tried to take the approach of if you recognize it, that’s a plus, and if you don’t, there’s a really fun or dangerous or dramatic reason why this person or this thing is here. She’s got a new rogues gallery coming into this book. She’s starting out again, and she’s really figuring out what her life is going to be. She’s starting fresh, and so it’s basically treating her like she’s a new superhero. So the way I approached it was to have fun and I’ve definitely pulled things from the old Fawcett comics and pulled things from Jeff run, but put it together in such a way that if you know the material, that’s an Easter egg. Because, at the end of Teen Titans Academy, Billy’s gone, and the powers are gone.
I think with Mary, we’ve got a really great opportunity. Josie Campbell: A lot of my career has been taking an IP that existed before that I love and putting a new spin on it. How do you go about referencing or touching on all these things and still make it accessible for someone who doesn’t know 900 years of Shazam history. Even if at the time I didn’t have as much to say about it.ĪIPT: There’s just so much lore and history about Shazam. It’s a blast being back in this corner because there’s still so much I love about it. I’d been pretty clear that if I were to come back, it would need to be something dramatically different. And I left everything on the floor there, and so when we finished it, I really felt like well that was it. When Jeff and I did that two issue thing for, we worked really hard to pack everything into it that we had to say about classic Fawcett Captain Marvel. Because it’s something that I didn’t think I had anything else to say about.
MARY SHAZAM MOVIE
In DC’s case, that means focusing only on theatrical releases, with each movie connecting to a bigger universe and pointing to crossover events.AIPT: Doc, you’ve done work with Shazam in the past - what’s it like to be back in this part of the DC Universe?ĭoc Shaner: Oh, it’s a dream.
MARY SHAZAM TV
Discovery merger, as the new company tries to clean the slate of TV and movies and develop a more profitable approach for the upcoming years. The changes were caused by the Warner Bros. Discovery shelved Adil El Arbi and Bilall Fallah's Batgirl, scrapped the Supergirl and Wonder Twins movies, and announced a 10-year plan that will theoretically unify every DC production under a single banner, similar to what Marvel Studios does. Shazam! Fury of the Gods' delay came just a few weeks after Warner Bros. That’s not the case, though, as Sandberg underlines the movie is nearly done and won’t be touched until release. After the movie was moved from December 2022 to March 2023, fans got concerned that the delay would mean the highly-anticipated sequel to the 2019 DCEU film Shazam! would go through some last-minute changes. Sandberg, took to Instagram to dismiss recent rumors that the movie’s delay was caused by reshoots.
Shazam! Fury of the Gods' director, David F.
