SHAZAM! - FURY OF THE GODS Adds ELEMENTARY Star Lucy Liu As The Villainous Kalypso

Kill Bill star Lucy Liu has been busy working on small screen projects for the past few years, starring in shows like Elementary and Why Women Kill. Now, though, she's making her blockbuster return in style by taking on a key role in DC Comics sequel, Shazam! - Fury of the Gods

The Hollywood Reporter confirms that the actress will be playing the villainous Kalypso. That's a character with little to no history in the comic books, but she's the daughter of Atlas, one of the Titans of Ancient Greece and the namesake of the "A" in "Shazam." Helen Mirren recently signed up to play the villain Hespera, a daughter of Atlas and sister to Kalypso.

While plot details are being kept under wraps, it's clear now that the Shazam Family will be squaring off with Atlas and his daughters, an admittedly unexpected direction for the sequel.

However, if Shazam!'s post-credits scene was any indication, we'll surely see more of Mark Strong's Dr. Sivana and the mysterious Mister Mind, the leader of the  Monster Society of Evil. 

David F. Sandberg returns to direct, and Shazam! - Fury of the Gods is currently set to be released in June 2nd, 2023. Shooting begins in May, so Warner Bros. will have a real head start on this one (if the last instalment is any indication, we'll probably get a lot of set photos for this sequel).

A Sherlock Holmes show on CBS, I think...never watched it but it was supposedly pretty decent.

I recently rewatched the early 2000's Charlie Angels movies and spent the whole time thinking, man I forgot how amazing Lucy Liu is.

I actually enjoyed the 2 movies, as it had been a long time since I saw them and had low expectations.

Nice. Good to see this franchise continues to add diversity and a great actress.
With Helen Mirren I'm getting excited.

Dwayne Johnson needs to get his ass in gear and do a big cameo in this movie.

So they're pulling from Greek mythology for the villains? That's cool. Will we get to Zeus, Ares, or even Wonder Woman in this movie? Probably not but it'd be cool.

Dope. Her entrance with the Crazy 88s in Kill Bill is the coolest scene Tarantino ever filmed.

Nice! Hopefully Mr. Mind goes to these to gain power of the gods or they join his Society or something. I really want that weird little shit as the main villain. Anyway, she [frick]ing owned in Kill Bill!

I see very few scenarios where I actually watch this and each of them includes being overpowered by my thirst for Lucy Liu
