The snap showcases the Shazam! fam’s new superhero costumes. At the end of 2019’s DC Comics movie, Billy (Asher Angel), a young boy with powers that turn him into a grownup superhero (Zachary Levi), discovered that his foster siblings could get the same powers and become adults to help him fight his foes.
The original Warner Bros. film‘s suits got a serious upgrade for the sequel. Brody, 41, now wears a uniform that appears to be made from a textured leather rather than just smooth spandex. Brody’s sapphire suit is complemented by metallic gauntlets on his forearms and matching boots, along with a white cape, which matches his silver screen siblings.
In Sandberg’s cast photo, Brody is in blue as Freddy; Meagan Good stands out in a purple jumpsuit as Darla; Ross Butler rocks a grey suit as Eugene; Levi, 40, keeps his iconic shade of red in his upgraded uniform; Grace Fulton dazzles as Mary in a darker red hue with a skirt; D.J. Cotrona wears deep green duds as Pedro.

Brody believes his role in the original Shazam!, which was just a cameo, boosted his career and gave some of his independent films the funding they needed.
“It’s been nice. I do feel like maybe I have a little more heat because of it. We’ll see what that happens. I mean, I think if Shazam! and Ready or Not didn’t exist, Kid Detective might not have,” Brody told The Ringer in October 2020.

Filming is still underway. The sequel is expected in theaters in June 2023.
