Zachary Levi hints at Dwayne Johnson's influence on Shazam 2 cameos.

Zachary Levi seemingly confirms a report that Dwayne Johnson denied access to Justice Society characters in the Shazam! Fury of the Gods post-credit scene and didn't want Levi to appear in Black Adam as a cameo either. Instead, characters from the HBO series Peacemaker appeared. The report also mentions Johnson's attempt to restructure the DCEU around himself and Henry Cavill's Superman.

Zachary Levi supports claim of Dwayne Johnson blocking Black Adam cameo.

Zachary Levi, star of Shazam! Fury of the Gods, has reposted an article suggesting that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson “kneecapped” the film by vetoing a post-credits scene featuring Levi’s character. The article alleges that Johnson wanted his character to meet Superman instead of Shazam, changing the “hierarchy of power in the DC universe”. Fury of the Gods has been a critical and financial bomb, taking just $30.5m on its opening weekend at the US box office. Levi has suggested that the film’s poor box office turnout was due to Warner Bros’ marketing campaign.
