Lucy Liu plays Kalypso, while Helen Mirren stars as her sister Hespera. “It was a dream to work with them,” director David F. Sandberg told Entertainment Weekly. “We aimed high when we cast the movie, and we got exactly what we wanted. They're both so kickass.”

“It's sort of an extension of the first movie," Sandberg explained. “He (Shazam) finally found a family in that movie. Now, we see him struggling a bit now that they're growing up. He's holding on very tightly to his family because he doesn't want everyone to just scatter and go do their own thing. He just found his family, and he wants to have them all together.”
