I think it's crucial because, like I said, the foster care program is not well-discussed, and it's not on the mainstream conversations of society in North America or my country for that matter. Marta Milans: I hadn't thought about that. Can you talk about the Shazamily's bond and why it's important to include that representation? I love that we see two different representations of family in this film, with the Daughters of Atlas being blood relatives versus the Shazamily, which is a foster family. You guys bring those characters to life in such an amazing way. I feel it's not a coincidence that the sequel ends up being better than the first one, which normally doesn't happen. But to be sitting on a script that's been so well-written and so well-conveyed, and all the characters well-explored, all the storylines well-adapted. And I think it's the key, it's amazing to be part of huge superhero movies in this category, of this size, of all these special effects, of all these CGI moments and all these flying dragons and all that stuff has been amazing.

Obviously it's a spectacle and a superhero movie, but the emotional core of this film is really grounded. That's what I love about this film probably more than anything else.

To see themselves reflected in a movie like this and know that it's possible that there are Mama Rosas out there in the world, talk about a good positive message to society. Because you imagine for all those kids out there that don't come from stable homes, that don't come from healthy environments at home or broken homes or not good biological homes. I will always be your mom.' To transmit that to a child and have him know that in his heart, which is why he calls her mom and says, 'I love you, mom,' it's beautiful.Īnd I'm just lucky that I got to play that part and inspire so many kids out there when they see the movie, that's why I'm so, so much looking forward for it to come out. And all she says to him, holding his face is, 'You will never grow out of your home. On top of that, to have been gifted a scene in which she gets to say the most beautiful thing you're can say to a child who thinks he's going to lose his home again, who lost his mom one time, who found a new mom and thinks he's going to lose her again because he's going to turn 18. And I called Henry, our writer, and I thanked him because if you really think about it, the reason I think behind the success of the first Shazam into the second one is the heart behind the family unit. 'I love you, mom,' which is just so beautiful. I burst into tears when I read the scene on the rooftop when she finally hears her son call her mom. Marta Milans: I was so pleasantly surprised. Were you surprised at all when you read this script about the emotional beats that were happening in Shazam! Fury of the Gods? In this film, there's a lot of emotional moments in this film that really got me a little choked up. I'm just going to be with my kids and make sure that my kids don't get eaten by a dragon, and make sure that Billy is okay.' I think she pretty much rolls with this. They're getting chased by a dragon, and she finds out the kids are superheroes, and she's like, 'Cool, let's just roll with it. So in a way, she just adapts to it so quickly as you see.

I think it did come a little bit as a surprise, but she knows the strength and the amazingness that each child has. Marta Milans: Obviously, mothers know everything, but I guess Rosa did not expect to find out that all her kids are superheroes. How does Rosa react to learning the truth about her kids? Don't grow up.' But it's a law of life, and they're all equally lovely, just almost adults. And in the second movie, she went from being a little adorable cupcake to being a preteen. Especially Darla Faith just grew up so fast.

Marta Milans: Well, all kids have grown up a lot, as you see, and because we had to wait around for COVID to be over and try to shoot as soon as possible when we were delayed by at least a couple of years.
