New photos leaked from the set of Shazam! Fury of the Gods show Zachary Levi rocking a new superhero cape.Posted on the Shazam News Twitter account, the blurry images show Levi pointing at something and getting his makeup retouched while wearing an updated version of his red-and-gold Shazam costume. The actor also sports a new white cape, which appears to be sleeker than the one featured in the first film and also doesn't include a collar. The photos were accompanied by the caption, "New look at Zachary Levi in his SHAZAM costume with the cape!"
The images of Shazam's new cape were posted just days after a new set of behind-the-scenes photos from the film's set debuted the new costume. The new suit featured a handful of upgraded accessories, as well as a textured lightning insignia. Following the release of those images, one curious fan asked Levi on Twitter, "The new suit looks great, but the most important question is.... do you still have to take the whole suit off to poop???" The Shazam! star responded, "Yup."
Fury of the Gods director David F. Sandberg also recently shared a teaser on social media that offered a glimpse of the hero's new costume set to dramatic music. The short clip ended with a silhouette of Levi, who asked, "Why is it so dark? Probably would have been a good idea to have, like, one light on."
The sequel to 2019's Shazam! will see the titular hero facing off against the sisters Hespera and Kalypso, who will be portrayed by Helen Mirren and Lucy Liu, respectively. It was previously revealed that a third, unnamed sister will be played by Rachel Zegler. While the three characters don't have DC counterparts, they will be introduced as the daughters of Atlas.
Mark Strong, who starred as the villainous Doctor Sivana in the first film, also recently confirmed he would not be returning for Fury of the Gods and gave his blessing to Mirren and Liu. He said at the time, "I'm very happy to give way to Helen Mirren and Lucy Liu, who I think are going to make a couple of fantastic villains."
Directed by David F. Sandberg, Shazam! Fury of the Gods stars Zachary Levi as Shazam, Jack Dylan Grazer as Freddy Freeman, Asher Angel as Billy Batson, Marta Milans as Mama Rosa, Helen Mirren as Hespera, Lucy Liu as Kalypso and Rachel Zegler in an undisclosed role.
