Shazam Shazam General Discussion and Speculation

[Breogan]

Grace Fulton is 21 years old. Maybe they'll change it to make her the older sister of Billy where she is 16-18. That way in the sequel Grace Fulton plays Mary Batson and Mary Marvel. No need for a 2nd actor.

I really do prefer they are both orphans who discover they are long ago separated twins.
Then he discovers he can share the power with her.

LOL!
Pretty classic tale: Although Luke & Lei and later Prince Adam & Adora have pretty much played it out, Billy and Marry were first.

Mary when transformed definitely ages up in the new 52...
So Grace Fulton casting is great for an older Mary, and hopefully there is still a young Mary closer to Billy(Asher Angel's) age, announcement coming.

There's still some time left to cancel it. What R U waiting for WB?

Why would they cancel it?

 

[Gieferg]

Cause it has failure written all over it.

And I am 80-90% sure it will fail.

 

[NotNickFury]

All those question marks for casting...Sandberg's gonna cast half the whole dang DCEU at this rate!

I kid. Though that or Shazam has a huge cast.

Don't know how legit that wall is?

I'm assuming they are somewhat going off the New 52 origin., plus some classic ellements, that story had.(not including Teth Adam who will be in his own movie):
1. Billy
2. Adult Billy Captain Marvel/Shazam
3. Mary
4. Adult Mary
5. Freddy
6. Adult Freddy
7. Eugen
8. Adult Eugene
9. Darla
10. Adult Darla
11. Pedro
12. Adult Pedro
13. Wizard SHAZAM
Analog elders:
14. Solomon Wisdom
15. Hercules Strength
16. Achilles Courage
18. Zeus Power
19. Atlas Stamina
20. Mercury Speed
Villains
21. Dr.Thaddeus Bodog Sivana (I assume he will be the main villain) trying to control the:
Seven Deadly Sins ( will likely each be personified by actors enhanced by CG)
22. Pride
23. Envy
24. Greed
25. Anger
26. Sloth
27. Gluttony
28 Lust
29. Bully at School
30. Bully's rich Dad
31. Orphanage adoption Lady
Adopted Parents
32. Mr. Vasquez
33. Ms Vazquez
Potential Flash Back?
33 & 34 Billy's parents?
35. evil uncle
36. The voice of Mr. Mind (Post credit Scene with Sivana)

I think Grace Fulton is playing the caretaker at the orphanage where Billy and his friends are at.

 

[Micromind]

Cancel it and do what ?

 

[Sawyer]

Trolls don't deserve to be fed, y'all.

 

[Breogan]

If they are using the deadly sins, after Sivana these will probably be the most fun casting:

Seven Deadly Sins ( will likely each be personified by actors enhanced by CG)
22. Pride
23. Envy
24. Greed
25. Anger
26. Sloth
27. Gluttony
28. Lust

And depending on who they cast (these should be some recognizable stars, representing very human traits taken to monstrously fun extremes) how they play them off each-other, probably one or two of these over-the-top performances should steal the movie, if they get the right people.

Sivana should have his hands full if he thinks he can control them.

No, but he does seem to enjoy having fun with internet reporters.

More Shazam casting

Fresh Off The Boat actor Ian Chen and Jovan Armand (Bella and the Bulldogs) have joined the cast of New Line’s David F. Sandberg-directed DC superhero film Shazam! The pic stars Zachary Levi as the title character, Asher Angel as Billy Batson, and Jack Dylan Grazer as Freddy Freeman. Chen will play Eugene and Armand will play Pedro, friends of Billy’s from a group home. Written by Henry Gayden and Darren Lemke, the film centers on Billy who can transform into an adult superhero by uttering the magic word “Shazam!” Peter Safran is producing. Paradigm reps both actors. Armand is also repped by Entertainment Lab.

Principal photography starts in February 2018 and wraps up in May 2018.

 

[Astro13Zombie]

Thanks buddy


Can’t wait to see the costume

 

[phlac]

I believe principle photography starts somewhere around the first week in February. Imagine there will be a LOT of casting news in the next few weeks.

 

[2kt09]

Hah! Mondragon was so close, but he picked the wrong kid from Fresh Off the Boat.

 

[Juan1193]

Interesting cast so far! Can't wait for more news! That cast looks huge lol

 

[Vlyse]

Yeah, 74 boxes. I'm sure a lot of the boxes are really minor roles, like the British generals and the German generals in Wonder Woman.

Really curious about the box between Shazam and Billy Batson, though. Does it belong to The Wizard?

 

[Sawyer]

Either the Wizard or Sivana, since Strong isn't official.

True. My guess is that it's Sivana. Shazam, Sivana, Billy, Freddy, Mary, Eugene, Pedro, Darla, Mr Vasquez, Mrs Vasquez... And that's as far as I'll guess lol
