Helen Mirren has closed a deal to play the villain Hespera, a daughter of Atlas, in New Line and DC Films’ Shazam: Fury of the Gods, the sequel to the box office hit adaptation of the comic book. Zachary Levi is set to reprise his role of Shazam, with Rachel Zelger also aboard.

That gives me hope with Mirren on board. I thought the first was fun, but got a little hokey with all the Shazam! gods. I really don’t dig the high contrast/hypercolorized superhero outfits. But, overall it was good and always liked Levi, from Chuck, of course. The 3D was pretty good on the Blu too.
And Mirren is just always good from the mostly serious to the cheeky stuff like Red, Red 2, Hobbs & Shaw, though I think she was in a more recent F&F. She is quite versatile.

Hobbes and Shaw was the most recent. She was also in Fast 8, one film prior, which introduced her character.
As for the "high contrast/hypercolorized superhero outfits." it's Big with superheroes, it's not the Dark Knight.

As a DC fan, going to be a fun year with this, Black Adam and The Flash going into production.

I love both he OG and New suits. I hear the cape will be CGI which I love. I still think the Bolt should be bigger. I did see someone speculate that the smaller bolt is an homage to the older Captain Marvel comics/serial flick design.

Partly CGI. My friend was posting production shots yesterday (it was filming on the parking garage nextdoor to her office) and it seemed liked still "on-ground" shots were real cape, anything elevated was CGI. Agreed on the symbol.

And this movie doesn't come out for 2 more years. Actually slightly less than 2 years.

Definitely downgrades from the first film. Hopefully they lighten up in post.

Yes, Grace now plays both parts. But her hair and makeup is slightly different when she’s super so nobody will ever recognize her. Hey, it works for Wonder Woman! https://t.co/suaG3vaEZw

In a way I知 surprised that this got pushed to come so soon after Black Adam. I would think it might be better to space the two characters apart. Also I wonder if Black Adam is supposed to be a part of this at all.
