Shazam! laid the groundwork for Billy Batson's world to greatly expand in future movies, and pretty much the entire cast of that first movie is expected to return for Shazam! 2. That includes Marta Milans, the actress who played Rosa Vasquez in David F. Sandberg's first instalment (she is, of course, the foster mother to a group of kids who are now all secretly superheroes). 

This likely means Cooper Andrews will also be back as Victor Vasquez, but the actress has some big ideas for where her character could go in the sequel when it's released in 2022. 

"Honestly, I was talking to our writers and told them to do whatever they want. But, make sure that Mama Rosa has her own cape, and she can fly. I really want to fly in the sequel," she told LRM Online, sharing some pretty big ambitions. "I don’t know if they’ll listen to me. I don’t know if they’ll listen to me. I don’t know if they’ll give me a cape, but Mama Rosa will be present."

"In the movie, all my kids fly," Milans added. "As one of the powers, I would love to fly with them."

The actress was then asked whether she anticipates the sequel following the comic books in regards to her character. "At the end of the day, it’s based on the comics—but loosely based on the comics. There’s been a lot of freedom as far as what we’ve been doing. It’s similar to the first comic books, but not word for word. There’s quite a lot of room for a new adventure."

The movie was recently moved from April 2022 to November that year, so we'll have a little bit longer to wait before getting to see what Sandberg has in store for all these characters in the DCEU. 

What are your hopes for Rosa's storyline in the Shazam! sequel?

good, while their roles were minimal, their roles were a big contribution to making the movie work

Wonder if it will be based on the current Shazam arc, with Billy's father and the monster society of evil

@dracula - The Monster Society of Evil, yes. Billy's father, who gives a [frick]?

I think Geoff Johns really dropped the ball on this title.

They really should have went with a younger kid for Billy.

And a kid that actually looked like Zachary Levi...

@THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - By the time Shazam 2 comes out, it'll just be about an adult transforming into another adult lol.

@KWilly - Lol yeah. I always liked the concept of Billy eventually reaching the age of Shazam! but this is far too soon for that.

@KWilly - That’s what Mary Marvel already was in the first film, though.

@THEDARKKNIGHT1939 - Honestly I would have recast both actors. Not because they were bad but Billy actor being too old, and Zackery Levi doesn´t have the star power.

I would have gone Jacob Tremblay as Billy and Channing tatum as shazam. One of the major reasons it didn´t kill at the box office was lack of star power. For like a couple million more on star power in the budget and a Christmas release date this film would have killed at the box office.

Basically the only stars in the movie were Mark Strong and Jack Dylan Grazer.

I thought it was cool that her "super power" was being a Foster Mom
