A new era is about to begin at DC Studios, as James Gunn is now one of the co-heads and is plotting out a new cinematic universe. The DCU is set to kick off in earnest with Superman: Legacy in 2025, and it’ll lay the foundation for the fictional world. Amid the world-building though, there are still some who have lingering questions about the continuity its replacing – the DC Extended Universe. There was recently an instance of this, during which a fan asked Gunn a question regarding Shazam! Fury of the Gods’ end-credits scene. With that, the filmmaker shared some thoughts and explained whether it figures into his future plans.
For a bit of context, the stinger featured the characters of Emilia Harcourt (Jennifer Holland) and John Economos (Steve Agee), who both appeared prominently in Max’s Peacemaker series, which is getting a second season amid the DCU transition. Harcourt also appeared briefly in Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam, which featured the Justice Society of America. I say all of that to say that Fury of the Gods mid-credits scene sees Harcourt and Economos trying to recruit the film’s eponymous hero for the JSA. Ultimately, he declines their invitation.
