Asher Angel & Jack Dylan Grazer on Shazam! Fury of the Gods and Love Triangles
193In the DCEU’s Shazam! Fury of the Gods, Asher Angel and Jack Dylan Grazer reprise their roles as Billy Batson, who was gifted the power to transform into the superhero Shazam (played by Zachary Levi), and his superhero-obsessed foster brother, Freddy Freeman. In the sequel, which finally hits theaters on March 17, the two brothers, along with their other siblings, will stand up against their most formidable foe yet, the Daughters of Atlas. But before assuming their super alter-egos, Angel and Grazer spoke with Collider’s Steve Weintraub about returning to the DC universe.
Fury of the Gods picks up after Billy’s siblings received the same abilities he did, granting them alter-egos with an assortment of different powers. As they’re learning to harness these abilities, and Billy/Shazam grapples with this new responsibility, the Daughters of Atlas – played by Helen Mirren, Lucy Liu, and Rachel Zegler – come for their father’s powers, which they believe Billy and his family stole. The sequel also sees the return of Adam Brody, Meagan Good, D.J. Cotrona, Grace Caroline Currey, and Ross Butler.
During their interview, Angel and Grazer brought that same electric energy while discussing all the different ways they’d use one of the Shazam suits off-set and share what it’s like each day with co-star Zachary Levi, who reportedly blasts music before scenes. The duo discusses director David F. Sandberg’s blend of realism, horror, and comedy and reveals what they believe fans would be surprised to learn about the filming of the sequel (hint: it includes a love triangle with Academy Award-winner Mirren and Liu).
