Rachel Zegler, the promising young actor who is set to star in the upcoming Shazam! sequel, recently took to social media to address the “senselessly mean” criticism of the underperforming DC sequel. Zegler, a newcomer to Hollywood, has been cast in the role of Marilyn Batson, one of the key characters in the upcoming superhero movie. Her comments came after the news broke that Shazam! Fury of the Gods had faced a number of production delays, and had failed to meet its original release date.
Despite being one of the most highly anticipated superhero movies of the year, Shazam! Fury of the Gods has been plagued with setbacks from the start. Reports suggest that the cast and crew have faced a number of issues in the production process, with one of the biggest problems being the ongoing coronavirus pandemic. As a result, the release date for the movie was pushed back from its original date of April 1, 2022, to June 2, 2023.
However, despite the understandable reasons for these delays, some critics have taken aim at the film, calling it “underwhelming” and “disappointing” before it has even been released. In response to this, Zegler took to social media to send a clear message to these critics, saying that she was “disappointed” to see such negative feedback, and calling for more compassion and understanding in the film industry.
In her statement, Zegler said: “It is not fair to criticize a film or its cast and crew before it has even been released. We all put so much hard work into these projects, and it is incredibly hurtful to see such senselessly mean comments being made by people who have no idea what goes on behind the scenes. I hope that we can all be more respectful and supportive of each other, especially during these difficult times.”
Zegler’s comments have been met with widespread praise from fans and industry insiders alike, with many people echoing her calls for greater support and understanding in the film industry. Some have even gone so far as to suggest that Zegler’s outspokenness could help to change the way that Hollywood operates, promoting a more compassionate and collaborative approach to filmmaking.
Of course, it remains to be seen whether Shazam! Fury of the Gods will be a success or a failure when it is finally released next year. But whatever the outcome, it is clear that Rachel Zegler is a talented and passionate actor who has a bright future ahead of her in Hollywood. Whether she is starring in superhero blockbusters or indie dramas, she is sure to make a lasting impact on the film industry, and we cannot wait to see what she does next.
