Shazam star Asher Angel wants to see his superhero interact with other DC characters in the new DCU.
Like Dwayne Johnson's recent push to include Henry Cavill's Superman in Black Adam, Angel told ComicBook.com that he also hopes to see Shazam have similar cameos and crossovers.
"Hopefully I get to integrate with other characters, but who knows?," Angel said, not giving anything away regarding potential crossovers in upcoming sequel Shazam: Fury of the Gods.
The original Shazam film featured a minor cameo at the end, when Superman (filmed only from the neck down) appeared at the high school of Billy Batson, who Angel plays.
Unlike Black Adam's marketing, which showed off the Justice Society of America and other DC characters, Shazam: Fury of the Gods has remained light on this front. That being said, Black Adam's Superman cameo wasn't known about until the film was released (and Johnson spoiled it himself), so there could still be some surprises in store for the Shazam sequel.
Major changes are currently underway at DC Studios as new co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran look to implement their eight to ten year plan. Angel is excited about this new era, commenting that he thinks the original Shazam helped usher it in. "I think, in a way, Shazam did open up the DC Universe because it's light-hearted and it's fun," Angel said.
