Shazam 2 Director David F. Sanberg Marks Near End of Production
Shazam! Fury of the Gods is nearing the end of production, according to director David F. Sanberg. Posting on Instagram, Sanberg provided the update, "Day 68," he wrote. "This is how many days the first Shazam shoot was. Almost at the finish line!" Also returning is writer Henry Gayden, who penned the screenplay for the 2019 original. The film starred Zachary Levi as the title character, which is the alter ego of foster child Billy Batson (Asher Angel). He discovers his powers after an old wizard (Djimon Hounsou) seeks him out, deeming him worthy after his selfless act.
Shazam! Fury of the Gods Details
Seeking Billy out was Dr. Sivana (Mark Strong), who stole and absorbed the Seven Deadly Sins the wizard was guarding after he was deemed unworthy for his powers decades ago. Near the climax of the film, Billy ended up sharing his abilities with his foster siblings, becoming the Shazam family. In addition to Levi and Angel's return, Jack Dylan Grazer, Faithe Herman, Grace Fulton, Ian Chen, and Jovan Armand will all reprise their respective roles as Freddy, Darla, Mary, Eugene, and Pedro. Adam Brody, Meagan Good, Ross Butler, and D.J. Cotrona all play their superhero counterparts. Fulton will play her own superhero counterpart taking over for Michelle Borth, who did so in 2019. Marta Milans and Cooper Andrews will reprise their roles as the family foster parents Rosa and Victor Vásquez.
