David Fredrik Sandberg (born 21 January 1981) is a Swedish filmmaker. He is best known for his homemade short horror films (released under the online pseudonym "ponysmasher") and for his feature directorial debut Lights Out (2016), based on his acclaimed 2013 horror short of the same name. He has gone on to direct major studio franchise films such as Annabelle: Creation (2017), Shazam! (2019) and Until Dawn (2025). He is married to actress and producer Lotta Losten, who has starred in many of his short films. He co-founded the production company Mångata.
Earth-5, known as “Thunderworld” around the Multiverse, is home to everyone’s favorite magical team, the Marvel Family. Always with a sunny disposition, Captain Marvel, Captain Marvel, Jr. and Mary Marvel draw their power from the great wizard Shazam, who is located in the Rock of Eternity that floats in the celestials of Thunderworld. With the help of the Marvel Lieutenants, the Marvels keep their world safe from the likes of the Monster Society, aliens and anything in between. There is, however, one constant danger to the Thunderworld—Doctor Sivana, a brilliant, but crazed scientist whose sole purpose is to eradicate anything magical. For him, the goal is simple: to rule over Thunderworld and eventually the entire Multiverse. With villians like Sivana threatening the Multiverse, it’s sometimes easy to lose sight of the bright spots. Not here, though. Earth-5 is a place where one can see the positive impact heroes have on their world. It’s a magical place where each day brings a new, action-packed adventure.
