SHAZAM! Movie Adds IT Actor Jack Dylan Grazer As Billy Batson's Friend Freddy Freeman
The latest addition to the cast of David F. Sandberg's Shazam! is Jack Dylan Grazer, who appeared as young hypochondriac Eddie in this year's horror smash, IT. Grazer will play Freddy Freeman in the movie.
According to Deadline, David F. Sandberg's upcoming DC Comics adaptation, Shazam!, has added another supporting cast member in the form of Jack Dylan Grazer, who we saw as little Eddie Kaspbrak in Stephen King's IT earlier this year.
Grazer will play Freddy Freeman, "Batson’s best friend and the only person who knows the truth about Shazam." Of course, DC fans will probably be aware that Freeman eventually suits up as a hero himself, taking on the mantle of Captain Marvel Jr. in the comics.
Shazam! is set to hit theaters in 2019, and also stars Zachary Levi as the titular superhero, Asher Angel as Billy Batson, and Grace Fulton. Mark Strong is said to be on board as the villainous Doctor Sivana, but we haven't had confirmation yet.
