No part of the transformation from children to adult superheroes is more heartwarming than Darla Dudley's, the youngest of the foster kids (and the sweetest, with little competition). And if you stick to the common idea that the lightning turns the kids into the adults THEY WILL BECOME (hence the other cast's resemblance) Pedro will have the last laugh. Given Cotrona's looks, the novelty of Pedro's transformation still works. When Billy shares the Shazam magic with his foster siblings, Pedro takes on the shape of a Herculean, bearded strongman.Ĭotrona may not match that physical description, but in the world of movie superhero fitness, Pedro being notably "big" would mean. The main detail relevant to Pedro is that he is big for his age, leading to a lack of confidence and hesitation to show who he really is.
There isn't that much time spent developing Pedro's character in the New 52 version of Shazam's story, which means the version played by Jovan Armand ( The Middle) in the film has some freedom. Cotrona ( From Dusk Til Dawn: The Series) came as close as Adam Brody, and this time around, will be playing the adult superhero, and likely bearded form of Pedro, Billy Batson's other foster sibling. Fittingly, as one of the family of Shazam - the hero most famous for being a Superman analogue. Yes, the actor once fated to be DC's newest Superman in Justice League Mortal also seems to be getting a second kick at the can. Those with doubts may want to head to Borth's Instagram page for what looks to be a glimpse of her 'Mary Marvel' look. Instead, they picked an actress who is actually two years older than the film's leading man (which makes sense given the younger cast's age differences).
But Sandberg and New Line deserve recognition for ignoring the oft-heard claim that studios desire young, marketable, if unproven stars for long-term contracts. The idea of an actress to play Mary's 'superhero' alter ego was itself an odd question (after all, actress Grace Fulton is only 22).

Originally introduced as Billy's sister, the New 52 established her as one of the more level-headed foster kids.

And an actor as recognizable among a teen audience role won't hurt Shazam's chances with the whole family.įans will recognize Borth from a number of TV appearances in Hawaii Five-0, Combat Hospital, and The Forgotten. The Singapore-born Butler has smartly turned his acting accolades into upward momentum, quickly becoming one of the most talked about Asian American actors breaking into the industry spotlight. One of the main reasons why Butler's casting seems so likely is also the reason why Eugene Choi is such a welcome addition to the DCEU: there simply aren't many heroic faces of Asian descent either on screen, or soon to be on screen for either DC or Marvel. Butler was again spotted by with his somewhat recent follows on Instagram leading to a number of other suspected cast members. Eugene is being played in the movie by Ian Chen (Fresh Off The Boat), but if he will also be transformed into an older, more "heroic" young man by the power of Shazam, it looks like Ross Butler ( Riverdale, 13 Reasons Why) will be taking on that role. he's not the only Mortal cast member joining the Shazam Family.Īlong with the foster family added to the core Shazam origin with Geoff Johns' New 52 story is Eugene Choi, a young boy who is easily the smartest of the family. Freddy Freeman's superhero form may not be the A-List level of Flash, but it's still a second shot. The Flash in George Miller's Justice League Mortal, famously scrapped just days away from beginning production. Freddy is better known for troublemaking than one-liners in the New 52 version of the story, but assuming that talent is what earned Grazer the part in the film, Brody's own quick wit and quicker humor would fit flawlessly.īrody was spotted in Toronto during the first weeks of March in the same shooting window as the other actors we suspect have been cast (hat tip to celeb spotter ) which means he may finally get his chance to join the DC Universe on film. Grazer's natural comedy skills made him one of the most memorable members of IT'S young cast. And on paper, it seems like a perfect match. But it seems that actor Adam Brody (The O.C.) has been chosen to bring the older Freddy to life. In the film that role has fallen to actor Jack Dylan Grazer ( IT, Me, Myself and I).
