DC Is Starting Development on SHAZAM! Sequel and Henry Gayden Will Return to Write It
Not only is Warner Bros. and DC moving forward with Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam movie, but they are also starting the development process for a sequel to Shazam! According to The Wrap, the studio has once again hired Henry Gayden to write the script. He wrote the first movie, and the report also says that director David F. Sandberg is expected to return to the director’s chair, which is great news.
We obviously have no idea what the story for the sequel will entail. But I hope that it will finally bring Shazam! and Black Adam together to face off with each other! It’ll also be fun to see then play a little bit more with the story arcs of the Shazam! family.
With Shazam! blowing up at the box office and exceeding expectations, it’s not surprising to learn that the studio wants to get started on a sequel.
Gayden is currently working on a sci-fi film called Last Human for Phil Lord and Christopher Miller. The film is based on an upcoming book, which is described as a “reverse ET” and tells the story of an artificial intelligence society where three robots discover a human child.
