Shazam! Fury of the Gods Director David F. Sandberg Discusses the IMAX Experience
63On Wednesday, March 15, ahead of the wide release of the long-awaited DCEU sequel, Shazam! Fury of the Gods, Collider teamed up with IMAX, DC Studios, and Warner Bros. to offer fans a chance to see the film ahead of time in the cinema, how it was intended to be seen on the big, big screen! This exciting event was originally going to include a Q&A from director David F. Sandberg, who unfortunately was unable to attend due to COVID. Luckily, Collider’s Steve Weintraub was able to speak with Sandberg via Zoom to discuss all things IMAX and Shazam! 2.
In a sequel where a family of superheroes is duking it out with Greek goddesses who call themselves the Daughters of Atlas, the bigger, the better. In Shazam! Fury of the Gods, Zachary Levi reprises his role as the kid-hero Billy Batson/Shazam, alongside a returning cast that includes Asher Angel, Jack Dylan Grazer, Adam Brody, and more, and introduces Helen Mirren, Lucy Liu, and Rachel Zegler to the DCEU universe. At the helm of it all, Sandberg returned from the first movie with even more epic fight sequences and what’s quickly becoming his signature horror flair.
During his conversation with us, Sandberg shares some IMAX formatting secrets, like the breakdown of adapting sound mixes, and we learn not only his favorite IMAX spot but James Cameron’s as well. Sandberg touches on the master of IMAX, Christopher Nolan, shares why Shazam! Fury of the Gods needs to be seen on the biggest screen, and even reveals a “band-aid” for tricky VFX shots to be on the lookout for in the movie.
