In Shazam! Fury of the Gods, kid-turned-superhero Shazam (played by Zachary Levi) and his family of superpowered foster siblings find themselves up against a new and powerful foe, or foes, rather. The Daughters of Atlas, played by Helen Mirren, Lucy Liu, and Rachel Zegler, have come to Earth seeking vengeance on those they believe stole their father’s magic. Billy Batson (Asher Angel) and his family will have to find the courage to work together in order to protect the world from destruction in a battle against these ancient goddesses.
Ahead of the movie’s theatrical release on March 17, Collider’s Steve Weintraub got to speak with Ross Butler (To All the Boys: P.S. I Still Love You), Grace Caroline Currey (Fall), and D.J. Cotrona (G.I. Joe: Retaliation), who play the super alter egos of Billy’s siblings, Eugene Choi, Mary Bromfield, and Pedro Peña. During their interview, the trio discusses where they would profit best in the Shazamily suits, Currey’s love for ABBA, and what it was like playing both the kid and superhero versions of Mary. They also reveal that Levi’s playlist between takes had Academy Award-winner Helen Mirren singing and dancing, how the lair from the movie was really stocked with video games and snacks, and which of the cast members was the champion of Mario Kart.
