(L to R) Ross Butler as Super Hero Eugene and Grace Caroline Currey as Super Hero Mary in New Line Cinema’s action adventure 'Shazam! Fury of the Gods,' a Warner Bros. That was another moment of, is this real? I think it didn't feel real until I was in fittings and actually putting a costume on and looking at myself in the mirror and going, I don't know what's happening, but it's happening and I'm here. But then also getting to be told, not only was I coming back for the sequel, but that I was going to get to be in the suit as well. Obviously, we have a massive cast and getting everyone's schedules together was wild. Grace Caroline Currey: I mean, quite a few years had passed and every year that passed I feel like our whole cast would say, “Has anyone heard anything? Are we going to get a sequel? When is it happening?” So finally I got the call that we were going to get a sequel, it was happening, and it was a very long awaited phone call. Moviefone: To begin with, when did you learn that you would not only be returning for the ‘Shazam!’ sequel to play Mary Bromfield but that you would also be playing the character in her superhero form?

Fury of the Gods.’ We need to live in the truth.Grace Caroline Currey attends the World Premiere of 'Shazam! Fury of the Gods' in Westwood, CA. “We should all live in it guys, even when it’s hard, even when it’s something that might fly in the face of something that we already might have believed before and now it challenges whatever our idea or our opinion is. “I’m coming to the defense of truth because truth is good,” Levi said. He, again, explained that he wasn’t trying to blame anybody for the movie’s performance but instead just wanted to defend the people who deserved it. So, our intent, our desire - Walter Hamada, Peter Safran, David Sandberg, myself, everybody - we had an awesome scene that would have tied me in to the JSA with Hawkman and with Cyclone, and we were thwarted.” He continued, “The original intent was to have Hawkman and Cyclone be there to invite me … by the way, this is a little bit of a spoiler alert for anybody who hasn’t seen the movie. “We used Jennifer and Steve in that scene, in the mid-credit scene, in Shazam!, but that was not the original intent.” “People are slagging on James Gunn because Jennifer Holland, his wife, who is an actress, who’s on Peacemaker and was in Suicide Squad, yes, but is connected to the Justice Society,” Levi shared. The American Underdog actor also touched on the post-credits scene they ended up creating for Fury of the Gods, which featured - spoiler alert! - Peacemaker and The Suicide Squad stars Jennifer Holland and Steve Agee. Having grown up as a self-proclaimed comic nerd, Levi said he wants to give audiences all the crossovers and callbacks that they could possibly want. He went on to explain that the Shazam! team even tried to get Henry Cavill to appear in the 2019 film and wasn’t allowed to make it happen. And as a leader, and I believe, a protector of my family, my Shazam-ly and everyone who worked so hard on these movies … we have been doing everything we can to fight for you, the fans.” “It’s because I do not want to be blamed for things that are not on me. “The reason I decided to share that was not because I wanna blame anybody for anything,” he continued. Levi doubled down on the fact that he wasn’t blaming anyone and had his own thoughts about why the film wasn’t doing well at the box office and doesn’t have great critics’ reviews on Rotten Tomatoes. Sandberg told The Hollywood Reporter that the original post-credits scene “fell apart three days before we were going to roll cameras.” It was known that members of the Justice Society were supposed to appear in Fury of the Gods since Black Adam and Shazam are rivals in the comics. There’s not one single person that I have blamed for anything about the way that our movie has performed.” Like, you’re trying to blame us,'” Levi said in an Instagram Live on Thursday. “I may or may not have, you know, reposted something in my Stories about a story that I had nothing to do with that had reported on, and then I got flack about it because people were saying ‘Oh, what are you doing? You’re trying to blame this guy because your movie’s not doing well. Live-Action 'Moana' in the Works From Dwayne Johnson, Disney
