Shazam! Action Figures Confirm Major Plot Spoiler

Published Feb 4, 2019

A new wave of Shazam! action figures seemingly confirm a major spoiler about the upcoming Warner Bros. superhero film.

Last month, a set of Shazam! Funko Pop! figures seemingly teased the arrival of the super-powered alter egos of Billy Batson's (Asher Angel) foster siblings in the upcoming film. New photos from Twitter featuring action figure tie-ins for the film not only seemingly confirm this, but also the importance of the Seven Deadly Enemies of Man -- Pride, Wrath, Gluttony, Sloth, Envy, Lust and Greed -- in the story.

Uploaded by a Twitter user, the toys not only feature Shazam himself (Zachary Levi), but also the superhero forms of Mary (Grace Fulton), Freddy (Jack Dylan Grazer), Eugene (Ian Chen), Darla (Faithe Herman) and Pedro (Jovan Armand), each wearing their own variant of Billy's costume. But what also catches the eye are the small, demonic creatures that come with each figure, most likely being six of the aforementioned Seven Deadly Enemies.

In the current iteration of the Shazam mythos, Billy is able to share his power with his siblings. When he does so, Eugene gains the power of technopathy, Darla possesses greater speed than the others and Eugene has superior strength compared to the rest of the group. With the combined threats of both Dr. Sivana (Mark Strong) and the Seven Deadly Enemies of Man, Billy may need all the help he can get to save the world.

Arriving April 5, 2019, director David F. Sandberg’s Shazam! stars Asher Angel as Billy Batson, Zachary Levi as Shazam, Mark Strong as Dr. Thaddeus Sivana, Djimon Hounsou as an ancient wizard named Shazam, Grace Fulton as Mary Bromfield, Jack Dylan Grazer as Frederick “Freddy” Freeman, Ian Chen as Eugene Choi, Jovan Armand as Pedro Peña, Faithe Herman as Darla Dudley, Cooper Andrews as Victor Vásquez and Marta Milans as Rosa Vásquez.
