The actor didn't comment any further on the report on Instagram or on Twitter, though Shazam! Fury of the Gods director David F. Levi shared the post - which tagged both Levi and Johnson - as the actor added his own caption at the bottom: 'The truth shall set you free' with an upside-down smiley face and prayer hands emoji. Levi shared an Instagram story post from Cinema Empire Arena, reporting on The Wrap report, which revealed that the original post-credit scene in Shazam! Fury of the Gods was supposed to feature characters from the JSA recruiting Shazam, and instead they brought in Peacemaker's Emilia Harcourt (Jennifer Holland) and John Economos (Steve Agee). Report: A report from The Wrap revealed that Johnson vetoed both a cameo from Levi as Shazam in Black Adam and a post-credit scene with other members of Black Adam's Justice Society of America Levi essentially confirmed the report in a carefully-worded Instagram story post.
