Shazam! Mark Strong Interview

With Shazam! now playing in movie theaters around the world, I recently sat down with director Mark Strong to talk about making the DC movie. During the interview, he discussed why the comic book movie/superhero genre is so popular around the world, the secret to coming up with a badass villain costume, how David F. Sandberg was able to get away with the boardroom scene, and more. Plus, Strong talked about The Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance and his other series Temple.

Scripted by Henry Gayden (Earth to Echo) from a story by Gayden and Darren Lemk (Goosebumps), Shazam! tells the story of a 14-year-old boy named Billy who, when he shouts the word “SHAZAM!”, can turn into an adult superhero (Zachary Levi). Asher Angel plays Billy, while Zachary Levi plays the adult Shazam. It breakout Jack Dylan Grazer plays Billy’s best friend Freddy Freeman. Shazam! also stars Djimon Hounsou, Grace Fulton, Faithe Herman, Ian Chen, Jovan Armand, Cooper Andrews, and Marta Milans.

Finally, I absolutely loved Shazam!. David F. Sandberg has crafted something special that both comic book movie fans and audiences of all ages will absolutely love. Not only is the film super fun, extremely funny and a big serving of unbridled wish fulfillment, Sandberg grounds the story around family and it’s unlike anything DC has done before. Shazam! is absolutely worth seeing in a theater.
