Gal Gadot’s cameo inShazam! Fury of the Godswas hailed as a bright spot in an otherwise dismal film. The David F. Sandberg-directed project has been a colossal disappointment for DC and Warner Bros. Discovery. The sequel to the 2019Shazam!grossed an embarrassing $132 million worldwide on a budget of $110 million to 125 million as per The Numbers.
However, it looks like there are dark spots on the one good thing that was unequivocally loved by whoever watched it. A Twitter user has spotted a continuity error in Gal Gadot’s small appearance in the film as Wonder Woman, and it’s making things worse for the flop project.
Shazam 2Makes A Major Gal Gadot Continuity Mistake
Shazam 2has an underwhelming Rotten Tomatoes score of just 49%. The movie was barely in theaters for three weeks before it was pulled by Warner Bros. to give it a digital release. While more people have watched it since its streaming debut, it has also allowed many to take a closer look at the film, especially the much-hyped cameo ofGal Gadotas Wonder Woman.

One Twitter user, @Ajay005RB, found a small continuity error regarding Wonder Woman. In the film, there’s a newspaper with Wonder Woman’s photo on the wall that’s seen right after the Bridge scene. But the picture can’t logically be there because it is from the firstWonder Womanfilm. That’s not all. As the Twitter user said,“How tf did they take this picture?”Here’s the tweet:

The photo used of Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman is from the famed No Man’s Land scene of the 2017 film. This one photo breaks immersion and continuity in two ways. One is because no cameras existed in 1917 when the film takes place, that could have taken such a quality picture.
Two, even if there was such a camera, that specific angle would be impossible to achieve unless and until the cameraman was above the trenches. We as viewers know that the shot of Gadot is from the firstWonder Womanfilm. But where did characters in theShazam 2movie get that picture from? No explanation has been given for that and as a result, fans are upset.

DC Fans BlastShazam 2For Wonder Woman Continuity Error
Such errors aren’t expected from a movie with a high production budget likeShazam 2. After all, since Gal Gadot was already present on the sets for the cameo appearance, they could have taken another picture of her to use in the newspaper clipping. Due to this small error, DC fans are now upset at the film and making fun of it online.

It must be said that there’s probably no need to look so deeply into this. While it’s certainly an error that shouldn’t have been overlooked during production,Shazam 2is hardly the first film to do this. But now that the film is getting ridiculed due to this, others will probably take a closer look at other scenes to figure out if anything else was missed by production.
Shazam 2is streaming on HBO Max.
