Admittedly, the report didn’t include Freddy’s last name, but given how important Freddy Freeman has been in the Shazam comics over the decades, one can reasonably surmise that this is the same individual.
Grazer starred in IT as Eddie Kasbrak earlier this year, and Shazam will ideally help boost his profile further.
Deadline reports that Jack Dylan Grazer’s Freddy is Billy Batson’s best friend and “the only person who knows the truth about Shazam.”
Introduced in 1941’s Whiz Comics #25, Freddy Freeman has been a longtime member of the Marvel family, and now we know that he’ll be just as tight with Shazam on the big screen.
