Mark Strong is in talks with the crew or is expected to star as the villain of Shazam
In 1905, just after the establishment of Zachary Levy as the comic character of Shazam, the crew of "Shazam" began to work non-stop to find the villain actor. Recently, foreign media reported that Mark Strong, an actor from the United Kingdom, is negotiating with the crew to play the villain dr. Shivana in the film. If Strong can play well, plus his previous role in "Green Lantern", he will continue to write frontiers with DC and Warner again.
Marc Strong is from London, England, with a height of 188cm, and his temperament is very suitable for playing villains. His career in Hollywood hasn't been very smooth, and he has never been able to play a leading role in the true sense of the word. However, in the films produced in Britain, they have their own place. He has performed well in films such as "Stardust" directed by Matthew Vaughan, "The Sun Havoc" directed by Danny Boyle, "Heart of the King" directed by Kevin Reynolds, "Cyrena" directed by Stephen Gahan, "Orphans of the Mist" directed by Roman Polanski, "Revolver Pistol" directed by Guy Rich, "Everything for Love", "Heart-Loss", and British films "Extreme Fanaticism" and "Prisoner of Truth". The role that Chinese audiences are most familiar with should be the character of Merlin in the two "Ace Agents".
The villain Dr. Shivana is a supervillain of DC Comics in the United States, debuted in the "Genius Comics" No. 2 (February 1940), real name Setis Shivana, originally a scientist, dedicated his life to the study of magic in ancient legends, he has always believed that there is magic in the world, and by consulting various magic books and exploring hidden monuments, he finally discovered the tomb of Black Adam sealed, and released Black Adam, who was sealed by the wizard Shazam for a thousand years, but was unexpectedly hit in the right eye by the lightning seal around the tomb. Thus gaining a magical eye that can see through all magical disguises and psychic creatures.
According to the plan, the film is scheduled to be released in the United States on April 5, 2019. The time seems to be early, but the shooting and production time of less than a year and a half is not generous for a film of such a scale. Judging from the current news, the single line of "Black Adam" will be carried out at the same time as the "Shazam" project.
