Shazam: Fury of the Gods Adds Helen Mirren As The Evil Hespera

Shazam was one of the most surprising and delightfully fun movies to come out of the DCEU and the Shazam: Fury of The Gods is heading our way… eventually. While we are still not sure if Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam will appear in the film (we are expecting a post-credits scene), we do have news about an even bigger bad-ass being cast as the film’s big bad, Hespera.

In a new report from THR, Dame Helen Mirren has been cast as the Hespera, the daughter of Atlas. She joins a cast that already includes the returning Zachary Levi as Shazam, Asher Angel as his teenage alter-ego, Billy Batson, and Rachel Zegler (West Side Story) as an unnamed character who will most likely be Mirren’s sister.
