This seems to be the only recasting for the film with the rest of the Shazamily returning to play their respective powered-up roles from the first film. She was the closest in age to her powered-up version, which made the casting of another actress a curious decision. It’s not an unwelcome one, as Fulton‘s bubbly personality is perfect for both roles. So, it seems like a deliberate little secret to announce alongside the suit reveal. The recasting wasn’t announced by the studio either. No reasoning for this change was given by either Sandberg or Fulton. But her hair and makeup is slightly different when she’s super so nobody will ever recognize her. As confirmed by Sandberg, actress Grace Fulton, who plays Mary Bromfield in the film, will now be playing both versions of her character, replacing actress Michelle Borth. With today’s reveal by director David Sandberg of the family’s brand new costumes, many noticed a new yet familiar face suited up alongside them. With Shazam Fury of The Gods, most assumed that all the actors would be returning from the first film. Upon grabbing the staff and saying the name, audiences got introduced to a whole new roster of heroes. So, he offered to share the powers with his foster siblings. Towards the end of the film, we saw Billy Batson, powered up as Shazam, struggling to face Doctor Sivana and the Seven Deadly Sins. It brought the character to life in all his goofy and heroic glory. The first Shazam film took its inspiration from the character’s golden age adventures.
