Shazam 2 actor rachel zegler reacts to film's criticism: senselessly mean

Hollywood actor Rachel Zegler recently reacted to the criticism of DC Universe’s latest release, _Shazam 2_. With the film receiving a lukewarm global box office opening, the critical

reception for _Shazam 2_ holds up at a mere 52% critical score on Rotten Tomatoes. Upon the film's release, Rachel Zegler referred to the film’s criticism as “senselessly mean.”  Taking

to Twitter, Zegler said that many people on social media are hating the film for no reason. She added that while it is the general belief to think that if you’re incapable of handling the

criticism, you shouldn’t go out there. However, she posited that hating on things is the general trend these days, and considers that the film is “very good.”  > some people out there and

the Gods_ picks up after the events of the first film. Coming from director David F. Sandberg, _Shazam 2_ focuses on the chronicles of Asher Angel’s Billy Batson, whose entirely newfound

family shares the powers of the seven gods bestowed upon them by Djimon Hounsou’s Shazam, the wizard. Jack Dylan Grazer also reprises his role as Freddy Freeman in the second film. The film

adds Hollywood legend Helen Mirren as Hespera, Lucy Liu as Kalypso and Rachel Zegler as Athena. The three Greek gods in unison play the three daughters of Atlas. Actor Zachary Levi once

again reprises the role of Shazam, whom Batson transforms into after speaking the magic words. He retains his comic charisma that made _Shazam! (2019)_ a success.
