‘Shazam 2’ Reportedly to Start Filming in Early 2021
By George Robbins
Movie studios are currently getting everything back on track by trying to get their productions going again within the past couple of months. They have been doing this the best they can considering the fact that most everything they have been doing has been shut down in some way. Even productions that have managed to start up again recently have had a bit of a time trying to get back on track properly as it has been anything but easy for them. For instance, they have restrictions on set with limit just how much they are capable of doing which has resulted in many people not being allowed on set. This has resulted in a significantly slower process when it comes to films actually being worked on by comparison.
What I mean when I say by comparison is that things cannot go as smoothly as they normally would if things were not as rough as they currently are. Basically what I am saying is that if studios were able to work on movies like they normally would, they would have everyone available on set all day, everyday to make sure things go quickly and smoothly. This is how movies would get finished filming so quickly and now this process has been hit relatively hard by the fact that this is currently not how things can work. Due to the rules in place for the pandemic, the overall number of people on sets is limited and everyone on set must maintain the current societal rules in place for social distancing.
Now that productions are getting back to work in relatively full swing, they are doing what they can to follow the rules while keeping cast and crew safe. That being said, it is still far from what people would consider the best case scenario, and therefore, troubles still ensue. Even with the countless problems that may crop up in the foreseeable future, studios are working on getting everything back up and running again which is how we are ending up with many films people have been looking forward to starting up production again or very soon. For instance, ‘The Batman‘ has resumed filming as of late, ‘Mission: Impossible 7‘ has resumed, and a number of other films have been announced that will start filming in the coming months.
One such movie that we will apparently be seeing filming start for soon is the sequel to the 2019 film ‘Shazam!.’ The sequel for the DC film is one that has actually been relatively well anticipated because the first film was received very well critically. It has been no secret that there would be a second film because of the popularity of the first movie, but it was a wonder on many people’s minds as to just when they would begin working on the movie. With the announcement of the ‘Black Adam’ film as well as the pandemic that is currently going on, no one knew when the film would be worked on. According to the film’s star, Zachary Levi, they will be working on starting the sequel’s production in early 2021 for their supposed November 2022 release. Though it still has a far-off release, it may just end up releasing earlier and maybe even closer to the original April 2022 release.
