Meet the Kind-Hearted Foster Kids in "SHAZAM!"

In New Line Cinema’s action-adventure “SHAZAM!,” five additional kids including lovable geek Freddy (Jack Dylan Grazer) fill up the group home where Billy Batson (Asher Angel) comes to live.  

Mary Bromfield, the eldest of the foster children who, when we meet her, is applying for college, is played by Grace Fulton.  

The youngest, Darla Dudley, is played by Faithe Herman.  Darla’s excited to have a new kid join their family—a little too excited for Billy, as evidenced by his reaction to her bear hugging him when he walks in the door.  

Young Actor Asher Angel is the Chosen One in "SHAZAM!"

Teen actor Asher Angel (TV’s “Andy Mack”) stars as Billy  Batson, a cynical foster kid struggling to find his place in the world, who knows nothing about super heroes, let alone how to be one, in New Line Cinema’s action-adventure “SHAZAM!”

“His power comes from magic,” explains director David F. Sandberg.  “He’s just a kid, but because he’s pure of heart and strong in spirit, he’s the chosen one.  He’s the champion.  That was really interesting to me.”
