Shazam 2 director David F. Sandberg admits he wasn’t sure whether Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman would make it to the DCU film.

Shazam! Fury of the Gods has been in theatres since last Friday, but it has received a mixed reception at the box office. The film, directed by David F. Sandberg and starring Zachary Levi, was in the headlines for various reasons, including Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman appearance. If Gal is unable to attend the film, the director has revealed that he has a backup plan. Helen Mirren, who also appears in Shazam 2, was his backup plan.

Helen takes up the role of Hespera, one of Atlas’ daughters. Sandberg was worried whether he could acquire Gal for the needed appearance because to the transfer of power at the DC Studios. That is what prompted him to devise a backup plan.

According to a report, after the newly formed DCU gave no confirmation about whether Gal Gadot, Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill will be a part of it, the Shazam 2 director had to make changes to the script. Sandberg said, “So for this one, Wonder Woman was in the script and I was like, ‘It’s not really gonna happen.’ I mean, it makes sense because of the mythology and the Greek gods and everything, but it’s like, ‘I don’t believe it’s gonna happen.’”

Speaking about his alternate plan for the Shazam 2, Sandberg revealed, “It’s like, ‘Sure. Yeah.’ So that’s when I started thinking, ‘Okay, so when we don’t get her, how do we solve it?’ Because it’s such a big– we have to have it in the movie. So I was like, ‘Okay, we need some other god then, I guess. Can we have [Helen Mirren’s] character actually survive? It’s gonna be so lame if she shows up.’ But that was sort of my Plan B.”

Fortunately, director Gal Gadot made it for Shazam 2, and fans got to witness Wonder Woman in the picture, which might be the final time they see her as the Amazonian Princess.

Shazam! Fury of the Gods, starring Zachary Levi and directed by David F. Sandberg, hit theatres on March 17th. Marc
