The Wizard, also named Shazam in the comic books, is an essential character that magically grants Batson with mythical powers that transform him into the famous superhero.
With the beginning of production to begin (alarmingly) soon, the role of the Wizard in Sandberg’s film has been cast.
For this role, Jones was nominated for the Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series Primetime Emmy Award.
With the addition of Shazam! to his resume, the Emmy-nominated actor sure is strengthening his superhero credentials.
