The fact that DC Studios co-CEO Safran is a producer on the movie also helps. By having three characters who are known to be continuing at the new DC Universe connected to the Justice Society and Shazam in Shazam! Fury of the Gods, there is a chance the heroes might have a DC future after all.
During the announcement of the 10 first projects in the new DC Universe, it was revealed that characters from Peacemaker, including Amanda Waller, were going to continue at DC. The two Peacemaker characters were acting on orders from their boss, Viola Davis' Amanda Waller.
