Shazam!director David F. Sandberg has offered a behind the scenes look at his cameo as one of the Crocodile Men . The DC Extended Universe flick has quickly become a success , earning strong reviews and more than doubling its budget at the global box office so far . Unsurprisingly , Warner Bros. has already drive the ball rolling on the sequel , which will build onthe first movie ’s mid - cite introductionto the villainous caterpillar , Mister Mind . Shazam!writer Henry Gaydenis presently work on the followup , with Sandberg expected to formally sign on as conductor any day now .
In the meanwhile , Sandberg is hold busy think about lover withmoreShazam!-related trivia . It had already been revealed that the director seem in the movie as one of the Crocodile Men , who are shown playing card behind one of the doors that Billy Batson and his foster sib open in the Rock of Eternity ( while they ’re being chase after by Sivana and the Seven Sins ) .

Sandberg post a serial of images to hisInstagramaccount , showing him being fitted for a mold for his Crocodile Man masquerade . The place also includes a span of clip where the filmmaker tries out the mask ’s animatronics , along with a short video that offer an up - skinny look at one of the mask ’s motorized middle . you could check the whole thing out in the space below .
Funnily enough , Sandberg ’s cameocould payoff in a big way inShazam ! 2or another future DCEU picture show . In the New 52 comic strip ( whichShazam!draws from ) , the Crocodile Men hale from a region of the Seven Magical Realms known as the Wildlands , where animals walk around talking and wearing clothing just like world from our world . Of of course , there ’s no guarantee that magical land will show up in theShazam!sequel , given how expensive it would be to bring to lifetime on the big screen . Part of the reason the first motion-picture show ’s a successis because Sandberg was able to keep its budget down to a manageable $ 100 million , so WB might prefer to stay on that approach with the followup . If so , it ’s unlikely Billy and his class will be exploring The Magiclands anytime shortly in the DCEU .
Either mode , this is a merriment glimpse behind the panorama at Sandberg ’s cameo and one of many playful DC easter eggs inShazam ! . It ’s also a testament to just much Sandberg distinctly enjoyed spend a penny the movie , and all but ensure that he ’ll be back for more onShazam ! 2 . Whether he picture up habilimented as an anthropomorphic reptile again or tries his hand at playing another fantastical beast in the continuation , of course , remains to be seen .
