Rachel Zegler Only Took Shazam Role Because ‘I Needed a Job’
View Story
Rachel Zegler, who previously admitted she joined the “Shazam: Fury of the Gods” movie because she needed a job, is back to defend the film on Twitter.
“Our film is actually very good. it’s just cool to hate on fun nowadays,” posted the 21-year-old actress, “That’s okay. We’re good.”

“Some people out there and just being… senselessly mean,” Zegler continued, “and it’s unnecessary. and i know, i know, ‘if you can’t handle the heat…’ and all that nonsense, and you’re right.”
Her response to the backlash of “Shazam! Fury of the Gods” clearly seems to come from a great experience on set of the production, as she also shared some behind the scenes photos with a touching caption about her experience working on the film.
hey our film is actually really good! but mostly i just absolutely loved making it and the people i met whilst doing so 🙂 go see it! give it a chance. we have an 85% audience score for a reason. ❤️ pic.twitter.com/2OmbMSlsyw

Zegler, however, isn’t the only person upset by the negative reviews for the film. The director David F. Sandberg shared his dismay on Twitter as well.

“On Rotten Tomatoes I just got my lowest critic score and my highest audience score on the same film,” shared the filmmaker with a shrug emoji.
On Rotten Tomatoes I just got my lowest critic score and my highest audience score on the same film 🤷♂️ I wasn’t expecting a repeat of the first movie critically but I was still a little surprised because I think it’s a good film. Oh well.

Sandberg also made it clear where he stands on making another superhero movie: “I’m definitely done with superheroes for now.”
