Rachel Zegler is taking critics to task over their reviews of “Shazam! Fury of the Gods”.

Djimon Hounsou is one of the best actors working today. And his career got off to an incredible start thanks to a role in Steven Spielberg’s “Amistad.” However, according to the actor, he feels a bit robbed of an even better career had he been able to win Oscars for his early work.  READ MORE: ‘Rebel Moon’: Zack Snyder’s Latest Pic Adds Charlie Hunnam, Doona Bae, Djimon Hounsou, Ray Fisher & More Speaking to The Guardian, Oscar-nominated actor, Djimon Hounsou explained how he feels about being nominated for Oscars years ago, well before such an emphasis on inclusion and representation.

Ethan Shanfeld Rachel Zegler is the latest DC Universe star to fight back against critics, as the “Shazam: Fury of the Gods” actor took to Twitter to defend the superhero sequel against “unnecessary” hate. “Hey our film is actually really good!” Zegler wrote on Twitter. “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.” Zegler continued, “Some people out there [are] just being… senselessly mean. And it’s unnecessary. And I know, I know, ‘If you can’t handle the heat…’ and all that nonsense, and you’re right. But our film is actually very good. It’s just cool to hate on fun nowadays. That’s okay. We’re good.”

Shazam! Fury of the Gods star Rachel Zegler took to social media over the weekend to lament what she called “senselessly mean” reactions to the film. The DC sequel had a lackluster opening at the global box office, landing with $65.5M worldwide and currently carries a 52% score from critics on Rotten Tomatoes.

Djimon Hounsou is getting very candid about how Hollywood has treated him.

“Shazam! Fury of the Gods,” the sequel to the better-than-it-had-any-right-to-be “Shazam!” (from 2019) is here. It once again stars Zachary Levi as the adult superhero version of pint-sized Billy Batson (Asher Angel), whose powers were bestowed upon him by a dying wizard. (That wizard, played by Djimon Hounsou, returns for some reason).

“Where the Crawdads Sing” star Daisy Edgar-Jones is teeing up her next box office hit with the lead role in “Twisters.” As previously announced, “Minari” Oscar nominee Lee Isaac Chung will direct from a screenplay by “The Revenant” writer Mark L. Smith.

Following her critically acclaimed work in Normal People and Where The Crawdads Sing, Daisy Edgar-Jones has found her first studio tentpole as she is set to star in Twisters, a new chapter to the 1996 box-office hit for Amblin Entertainment and Universal Pictures.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Lucy Liu is making her comic book movie debut in “Shazam! Fury of the Gods,” playing the villainous Kalypso alongside Helen Mirren and “West Side Story” breakout Rachel Zegler. The three actors play the daughters of Atlas, who come to our planet to reclaim the magic that fuels Zachary Levi’s Shazam. Liu was recently asked by The Cut about starring in a superhero movie for the first time at 54 years old. “If it had happened earlier, it would have been miraculous,” Liu said. “It would have been a different story; my career would have been easier. There would have been more opportunity.” Sizable comic book movie roles for Asian-Americans simply did not exist when Liu was coming up in the industry. She had her action breakthrough playing Alex Munday opposite Cameron Diaz and Drew Barrymore in 2000’s “Charlie’s Angels” and its 2003 sequel, “Charlie’s Angels: Full Throttle.”

A small snippet from Rachel Zegler‘s red carpet interview is going viral and fans are actually praising her for her honesty.
