Shazam 2 Director Reveals Deleted Scene, Early Animations
director David F. Sandberg recently took to social media to share some behind-the-scenes animations for the film, as well as reveal what a deleted scene would have looked like.
Taking to Twitter to reply to a fan, Sandberg answered a question on why Billy wanted to sacrifice himself instead of using the wizard’s staff to steal Kalypso’s powers. According to Sandberg, a deleted scene did actually show that, but in it, Billy was unable to use the staff because he didn’t know how to access its powers.
In a deleted scene Shazam tried to use the staff on Kalypso to take her powers but he simply didn't know how to operate it. He points it at her and says «take her power» but the staff does nothing.
In a separate thread, Sandberg showed off his animatics for the film, including what it looks like for him to set up and visualize a scene. He shared behind-the-scenes looks at the making of some big set pieces, including Shazam saving a car as it falls off a bridge, some fighting action, as well as how his scenes eventually turn from more elaborate creations to simple doodles to get an idea down.
