Future Films Like Shazam 2 Now Being Delayed
Movie productions have been drastically altered in both structure and time tables during this pandemic. Film production, for all intents and purposes, almost doesn’t exist right now. Filming is just something that cannot happen because the amount of people on sets is dangerous for contagion reasons. This has been a problem thus far because movies slated for release late this year or next year have been delayed as well as finished films awaiting theatrical release. With this in mind, sequels, or films that are a part of a larger universe, are being pushed further into the development schedule.
We pretty much knew that this would end up being the issue when production companies started listing off delays. For instance, now that DC films are being pushed back, as well as their production schedules, we are seeing sequels getting much later release dates than they normally would. Movies are going to have changing times tables for the next couple of years as a result of all of this mess. One example of this is the title of this article, Shazam 2, because now there is a delay with all DCEU films which is similar to so many other companies. The delays stack up and eventually they are delayed exponentially which is what we see now.
So now, with delays like this growing longer, what can really be done in order to make sure that we aren’t going to have to wait forever for these films? One of the best answers to that is to try and take care of ourselves, keep the virus contained the way it is starting to be now, and deal with the delays in place. Many of these delays are put out there because it is to preemptively tell people that these films are not going to be out for awhile. In reality, the sooner all of this is dealt with, the sooner we will see these films hit theaters, these delayed dates are just a way to let us know it will be awhile before they release.
