00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.150
- How does the sequel
compare to the original?

2
00:00:03.150 --> 00:00:08.150
I would say there's
just more of everything.

3
00:00:08.340 --> 00:00:09.870
Because, on the first one,

4
00:00:09.870 --> 00:00:12.810
we were getting to know so many characters

5
00:00:12.810 --> 00:00:17.810
and also understand the whole Shazam thing

6
00:00:17.970 --> 00:00:20.640
where you say it, you
turn into a superhero,

7
00:00:20.640 --> 00:00:22.470
then you say it, you turn to a kid.

8
00:00:22.470 --> 00:00:24.000
So with the new one,

9
00:00:24.000 --> 00:00:27.577
you've got the whole
family able to do that.

10
00:00:27.577 --> 00:00:30.960
More Shazams, more kids,
and then superheroes.

11
00:00:30.960 --> 00:00:32.760
And we also have three villains,

12
00:00:32.760 --> 00:00:35.670
whereas the first one, we only had one.

13
00:00:35.670 --> 00:00:39.780
Also, I laughed so hard watching it,

14
00:00:39.780 --> 00:00:42.930
and I laughed so hard making it.

15
00:00:42.930 --> 00:00:45.990
And I think this one
still has a lot of heart,

16
00:00:45.990 --> 00:00:47.580
just like the first one,

17
00:00:47.580 --> 00:00:50.910
but also there's some funny elements

18
00:00:50.910 --> 00:00:53.760
that I think are bonkers.

19
00:00:53.760 --> 00:00:55.680
I was shocked when I
read them in the script

20
00:00:55.680 --> 00:00:58.050
and I'm excited for people to see 'em.

21
00:00:58.050 --> 00:01:00.990
When the first movie was being cast,

22
00:01:00.990 --> 00:01:02.310
there was kind of a discussion

23
00:01:02.310 --> 00:01:04.560
of whether or not they'd
have the same actor

24
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:09.560
play Human Mary or Super Hero
Mary, because she's an adult.

25
00:01:09.690 --> 00:01:11.340
You know, there is an option

26
00:01:11.340 --> 00:01:13.683
of getting one actor for your buck.

27
00:01:14.730 --> 00:01:16.530
Came around the second time,

28
00:01:16.530 --> 00:01:20.550
and they felt that I could
be in the suit as well,

29
00:01:20.550 --> 00:01:22.770
and not just be the human form,

30
00:01:22.770 --> 00:01:24.930
which was wildly flattering

31
00:01:24.930 --> 00:01:27.900
and the best news to get,

32
00:01:27.900 --> 00:01:30.000
because I love Mary so much.

33
00:01:30.000 --> 00:01:32.190
It's so cool to get to be responsible

34
00:01:32.190 --> 00:01:36.270
for her human form and her superhero form.

35
00:01:36.270 --> 00:01:38.280
With Mary,

36
00:01:38.280 --> 00:01:42.180
and kind of with the whole adult cast,

37
00:01:42.180 --> 00:01:45.630
they have to really be
mindful of their kid form

38
00:01:45.630 --> 00:01:50.220
and trying to emulate equality
from the other actors.

39
00:01:50.220 --> 00:01:51.900
Then you have me, and it's just me,

40
00:01:51.900 --> 00:01:54.990
the same person in human
form and superhero form.

41
00:01:54.990 --> 00:01:55.980
And the funny thing is

42
00:01:55.980 --> 00:01:58.200
is there actually isn't a massive change

43
00:01:58.200 --> 00:02:01.380
between human and superhero,

44
00:02:01.380 --> 00:02:06.380
except for better posture
and a snazzy suit.

45
00:02:06.990 --> 00:02:10.800
But what's really cool is
Mary is kind of the glue

46
00:02:10.800 --> 00:02:12.330
between the two groups.

47
00:02:12.330 --> 00:02:15.720
So subconsciously, you
know you are interacting

48
00:02:15.720 --> 00:02:17.250
with the same people.

49
00:02:17.250 --> 00:02:19.590
So there wasn't too
much of a switch for me,

50
00:02:19.590 --> 00:02:21.540
except for the actual costume switch,

51
00:02:21.540 --> 00:02:23.820
which would take time sometimes.

52
00:02:23.820 --> 00:02:28.650
I would say having done
the first "Shazam!"

53
00:02:28.650 --> 00:02:30.270
with the "Shazam!" family,

54
00:02:30.270 --> 00:02:33.210
and even how long ago that was

55
00:02:33.210 --> 00:02:36.180
and the amount of time
we had between this one

56
00:02:36.180 --> 00:02:38.700
where we still stayed
in each other's lives,

57
00:02:38.700 --> 00:02:41.850
it was really incredible to get to show

58
00:02:41.850 --> 00:02:45.630
all that friendship that
happened behind the scenes also

59
00:02:45.630 --> 00:02:49.915
and feel just all the history
we all have with each other.

60
00:02:49.915 --> 00:02:51.070
- Ah!

61
00:02:51.070 --> 00:02:54.413
(dramatic music)

62
00:02:54.413 --> 00:02:56.468
(chilling music)

63
00:02:56.468 --> 00:02:59.218
(dramatic music)

64
00:03:02.357 --> 00:03:05.055
♪ Started from the
bottom, now we're here ♪

65
00:03:05.055 --> 00:03:08.222
(gentle upbeat music)
