David F. Sandberg is hard at work preparing the DCEU installment of Shazam, and a new report says they’re now casting members of the Marvel Family.
Not to be confused with Marvel comics, Shazam’s original name was actually Captain Marvel before DC Comics purchased him from Fawcett Comics and eventually dubbed him “Shazam” in order to avoid confusion – although the Marvel family name still stuck.
A number of audition tapes were recently leaked showing potential actors for the role of both Billy Batson and his adult-looking alter-ego, Shazam.
We’ve already seen other Marvel Family member Freddy Freeman teased, but Billy’s twin sister, Mary Marvel, has yet to be teased (although it’s doubtful that they’d consider the other children and not her).
