A few days ago, Zachary Levi spoke to the Collider site, to whom he said he was excited about the sequel, which he believes will surpass the first installment. “I’m very proud of the first one, I think we made a very, very good movie, but I think the second one is much better.

After last year’s big shakeup at Warner Bros. Discovery, DC Studios is going through a big change of its own.
