During the COVID-19 pandemic, Zegler read on for the role through Zoom with Sandberg and Dylan Grazer, doing a chemistry test with the latter, who was instrumental in her casting due to Safran giving him the option to choose and Dylan Grazer chose Zegler out of admiration for her work in the West Side Story (1961) remake.

Batson was able to share his power with others who are worthy. His sister became Mary Marvel and Freddy Freeman became Captain Marvel Jr. In this state, each person is in possession of a fragment of the power of "Captain Marvel". By calling upon Shazam again, each member of the Marvels can once again return to their former identities. This allows one of their numbers, such as Billy or Mary, to have the full power of the spell. The spell can be shared with others of noble intent and purity, such as Superman, who once switched identities with Captain Marvel. Bolstered by the Stamina of Atlas, the invulnerability of Achilles, and the power of Zeus, Marvel is often depicted with strength on par with Superman. In a mid-credits scene, Emilia Harcourt and John Economos attempt to recruit Billy into the Justice Society on behalf of Amanda Waller, but leaves after he calls them out for being too similarly named to the Justice League. In a post-credits scene, a still-incarcerated Sivana encounters Mister Mind once again, enraged that he has not begun enacting their plan.Tilly, Chris (April 7, 2023).

He behaved properly towards the Vasquezes, who decided to adopt him. As soon as they left, however, Billy expressed indifference towards them. Later, Billy sees an emergency in the city and transforms into Shazam. After being adopted he moves to the Vasquezes home where he meets the rest of their family, who are also adopted. It is immediately apparent that Billy does not fit in with the rest and he soon gets into a fight with the others, storming off into his room.

Timmy Tinkle was a robot who wanted to be a human. His biggest ambition was to be a television camera operator, which is kind of a sweet dream for a robot to have. From time to time, Timmy would be framed for some crime and Shazam would accuse him of being an evil robot. This seems pretty judgmental on Billy’s part, but fortunately, the misunderstandings always worked out in the end. Dudley H. Dudley is one of the wildest characters in the Shazam Family. He’s more or less a fraud who pretended to be Billy Batson and Mary Bromfield’s uncle. That would be bad enough, but he also falsely claimed to have superpowers of his own, taking on the heroic identity of “Uncle Marvel.” Of course, in a world of superheroes, this sort of lie presents an immediate problem, so whenever a situation called for him to use his nonexistent powers, Uncle Marvel would say that his “shazambago” was acting up. a b Landrum, Jonathan Jr. (June 14, 2019).

Some of that is lost in the story Fury of the Gods tells. For reasons I won’t spoil, even though Shazam!

Pictures) McFarlane Toys has secretly dropped a brand new DC Multiverse figure from the recent film Shazam! Fury of the Gods. Oddly enough, another member of the Shazam family did not make the cut, but Wonder Woman did. At this rate, many fans know that Wonder Woman made a cameo appearance in the film. McFarlane has taken this opportunity to give fans yet another Multiverse version of Gal Gadot featuring a new head sculpt. Wonder Woman does come with a variety of accessories like multiple whip accessories and her tiara. This version does not feature her iconic crown but rather an accessory without the ability to actually fit on her. Shazam’s nemesis Doctor Sivana used to be accompanied by his various children. His daughter Beautia was the first one introduced, and she didn’t share her father’s evil heart. She had a crush on Captain Marvel and would occasionally sabotage her father’s plans to defeat him. Oh, also, at one point she was queen of the planet Venus. Sivana’s son Magnificus was an Adonis-like figure who considered himself Shazam’s friend and who seemingly had no shame that his name was freakin’ Magnificus. Shazam! Fury of the Gods received nominations for Golden Fleece and Best Wildposts at the 2023 Golden Trailer Awards. [80] [81] Future [ edit ] a b c d e Bonomolo, Cameron (September 6, 2020). " 'Shazam!
