Still a kid at heart\u2014inside a ripped, godlike body\u2014Shazam revels in this adult version of himself by doing what any teen would do with superpowers: have fun with them! Can he fly? Does he have X-ray vision? Can he shoot lightning out of his hands? Can he skip his social studies test? Shazam sets out to test the limits of his abilities with the joyful recklessness of a child. But he\u2019ll need to master these powers quickly in order to fight the deadly forces of evil controlled by Dr. Thaddeus Sivana (Strong).<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><em><strong>Shazam!<\/strong><\/em> also stars Jack Dylan Grazer as Billy\u2019s best friend and ultimate superhero enthusiast, Freddy, part of the foster family that includes Mary, played by Grace Fulton; Darla, played by\u00a0Faithe\u00a0Herman; Eugene, played by Ian Chen; and Pedro, played by Jovan Armand .
