Instead, it made more sense to introduce villains woh themselves were family in the daughters of Atlas. “The natural next chapter would be he’s going to hold on too tight because he’s terrified to lose that family,” said Gayden. Instead, he and Morgan wanted to focus on the question of family and what that would mean for Billy, who never had one before.

It felt like we were doing the last movie just on a bigger scale.” “There was stuff there that was great, but none of it really serviced a natural growth for Billy. “There’s a scene where Sivana breaks out of prison without having to lift a finger because of Mister Mind’s help, which is one of my favorite scenes I’ve written,” the writer said. It turns out that there were even earlier drafts of the sequel script where Mister Mind and Sivana teamed up. Gayden recalls that former DC Films boss Walter Hamada “had forgotten about it, but was like, ‘This is the best thing you’ve ever written.’” Then months go by, and we’re getting into pre-production, and I was like, should we shoot this as a post-credits thing?” And so randomly, I was like, well, it’s just so sad to lose them,” recalled Gayden. We’d done all these Mister Mind and Sivana drafts, and ultimately discarded them. “I wrote that truly on a lark,” the writer said.

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Gayden revealed that the Fury of the Gods‘ final credits scene started out as a fun writing exercise. While the sequel may have initially intended to focus on Mister Mind as the villain, co-writers Henry Gayden and Chris Morgan ultimately elected to go a different route by introducing the daughters of Atlas. He doesn’t have legs or wings, which understandably makes traveling difficult.

“I’m stuck in a concrete box, surrounded by lunatics, waiting for a worm.” Mister Mind then explains that despite his genius and telepathic powers, slithering takes time. “Where in the hell have you been?” Sivana exclaims. Two years have passed since the events of the first movie, and Sivana has been patiently waiting for the worm genius to help him break out of his cell, so he can enact his vengeance on Billy. This time around, the scene opens to Mister Mind and Sivana meeting once again. The final end-credits scene calls back to the post-credit promises of the first film, which featured Doctor Sivana (Mark Strong) conspiring for revenge in his jail cell with an unlikely visitor - Mister Mind, a supervillain worm with a robotic voice who’s a major Shazam! foe from the comics.
