Hope Zachary Levi is willing to take on some Titans of Hollywood as the pantheon of A-list bad guys in Shazam! Fury of the Gods just doubled. According to Variety Elementary star Lucy Liu has risen to the level of goddess, alongside Helen Mirren’s previously announced Hespera, as the villainous Kalypso. While their respective gods, Variety writes, “Have no obvious counterpart in DC Comics”, they are the daughters of Atlas in Greek mythology. The Titan is “one of the sources of Shazam’s powers!”, Especially endurance, alongside Solomon, Hercules, Zeus, Achilles, and Mercury. Oh yes, it is an abbreviation!
On the human side of the legendary feud is Zachary Levi, who returns as the franchise’s titular superhero, and Asher Angel, who is Shazam’s alter ego Billy Batson! The sequel will be directed by returning director David F. Sandberg and written by Henry Gayden, with a release date scheduled for June 2, 2023. Personally, we can’t wait to see Lucy Liu back on the big screen and a ne ‘er-do -well. She was horrifying Set it up, and that was like an impeccably dressed sports editor.
