Shazam: Fury of the Gods director David F. Sandberg recently shared an official behind-the-scenes shot of the Shazam Family in an effort to get the jump on the inevitable set photos being shared online, and he was wise to do so, because the leaks keep coming!
These latest snaps feature star Zachary Levi shooting a scene in full costume as the titular hero as he seemingly faces off against and unseen foe. There does appear to be some sort of rig or stand-in to represent whoever - or whatever - Shazam is doing battle with, but it's difficult to tell from the angles.
One thing we can see is that the Big Red Cheese's new duds have taken significant damage from the fight and seem to be badly burned. Is he taking on one of the daughters of Atlas here... or maybe even Atlas himself?
The most recent video showed West Side Story star Rachel Zegler filming a scene in a golden superhero outfit, which looks quite similar to the colorful duds sported by the Shazam Family. Zegler is believed to be playing a villain, but some recently leaked details about her character suggest that she might be posing as an ally of Billy Batson (Asher Angel) and Freddy Freeman (Jack Dylan Grazer) in an attempt to gain their trust.
That's just speculation based on the information available, but at the time she was cast, Zegler was said to have taken on the role of the youngest of three sisters, and we know Helen Mirren and Lucy Liu will play villainous sisters Hespera and Kalypso.
Shazam: Fury of the Gods is set to hit theaters on June 2, 2023.
