Part 4/10:
Warner Brothers has been embroiled in chaos surrounding its DC properties lately. Notably, under the leadership of James Gunn, the studio is attempting a radical reboot of the entire cinematic universe. This overhaul includes dismissing popular stars like Henry Cavill and shifting away from the continuity that fans had grown to love.
The failure of Shazam! Fury of the Gods seems to further cement the idea that the current versions of these characters and stories are losing their appeal. The movie’s poor performance suggests that studios may be rushing to reboot without understanding what audiences actually want, risking alienation rather than reinvigorating the brand.
