Shazam director David F. Sandberg had a shot at making Venom before he chose his DC movie 👀 'I read the script for and had a meeting about Venom but I was already going down the path of Shazam and felt I'd rather do that...' 😯
Shazam! director David F. Sandberg reveals that if he had chosen projects differently, he could have made a completely different superhero film for another company. Shazam! hit screens in April 2019 and established itself as a brighter, more enjoyable DCEU superhero feature compared to the previous, darker, lore-heavy DC films.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY A lot of the scarier sensibilities of Shazam! are rooted in Sandberg's own career as a horror director prior to taking on the superhero genre. After establishing himself with viral horror shorts on his Instagram, Sandberg took audiences by storm with Lights Out, and added a spark of originality to the Conjuring universe with 2017's Annabelle: Creation.
Sandberg being considered to direct Venom makes sense, given Sony's game plan in adapting the classic Spider-Man villain to the screen. For the first Venom film, Sony did decide on horror movie veteran Ruben Fleischer, who had directed Zombieland and would later direct its sequel, Zombieland: Double Tap.
Sandberg's admission does paint a picture of an interesting alternate superhero filmmaking landscape, in which he brought his horror experience to Sony's Spider-Man Universe, but the DCEU is certainly lucky to have him. In the franchise's attempt to transition out of the Snyderverse era, Shazam! has proven a refreshing alternative for fans, and recent projects have pivoted even more toward that movie's lighthearted approach.
