Avatar 2 had some very exciting announcements at CinemaCon as both the official release date and title were confirmed. However, the news of the former seemed to have some impact beyond the James Cameron sequel as Shazam 2’s release date shifted as a result.
Avatar 2: The Way of Water will be coming out on December 16, 2022, which was Shazam: The Fury of God’s initial release date. Now, Warner Bros. has confirmed Shazam 2 will be pushed back a few days to December 21, 2022. The studio didn’t give a reason for the shift but now Shazam 2’s director has confirmed Avatar played a part in the decision.
Posting on Twitter, David F. Sandberg fired off some cheeky tweets (opens in new tab) to Cameron after the announcement. He penned: “You’re welcome Cameron!” Sandberg then added in a second tweet: “No need for thanks, The Abyss on 4K Blu-ray will be enough.” Cameron has yet to respond to the tweet, but the hilarious response has racked up 6,000 likes.
