Though the creatives weren’t exactly disappointed with how things turned out.
Shazam! producer Peter Safran believes it turned out even better than expected because it allowed the camera to catch Freddy’s reaction.
Originally, the Shazam! producers wanted to bring Henry Cavill into the movie for a cameo, which likely would’ve included dialogue between him and the main character.
As a result, we got the faceless Superman cameo scene, instead.
