SHAZAM Character Breakdowns Tease More Villains And A Possible BLACK ADAM Cameo Appearance
Some new character descriptions for the upcoming Shazam movie are now online, & it looks like Billy Batson is going to have more than just Dr. Sivana to worry about when the DC Comics flick hits theaters.
Yesterday, Mark Strong confirmed that he's on board the Shazam movie as Dr. Sivana, and these latest character breakdowns from That Hashtag Show suggest that he's going to have some backup when he takes on The Big Red Cheese.
Based on these descriptions, Sivana will be joined by his daughter Beautia and his oldest son, Magnificus - although the former will most likely switch sides and join Billy Batson as she does in he comics. Interestingly, the breakdown for Thaddeus Bodog Sivana himself points to the villain being a full-on sorcerer, and not a scientist who only dabbles in magic.
Finally, we have Shazam the wizard, and a vague "mysterious man" description which has led to speculation that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's Black Adam might be showing up for a cameo after all.
In related news, Ashton Asher shared an image of himself and Zac Levi sitting down for a table read.
Check out that shot, the breakdowns and a video below and let us know what you think. Shazam is set to hit theaters on April 19 2019.
