Actor Grace Caroline Currey Discusses "Shazam 2"

So how do you prepare to step back into the shoes of Mary? Oh, gosh. Well, this time around I was in the superhero suit. So I was stepping into two shoes, if you will, the superhero boots and Mary's human shoes. So I was doing kickboxing taekwondo, taking ballet classes. I had a lot more physical prep for this one. Yeah. And as you mentioned, you know, all the superhero characters are split between two characters in the film except you, you play the older and the superhero, the younger and older or the younger and the superhero, however you wanna put it. So what was that like playing both of those roles? And how did you prepare to have that split personality? Oh, gosh, I mean, I had already worked with the kids so I knew them super well. And this time around I got to be with the adults as well. So I was kind of getting to know them and they did such a beautiful job of kind of bringing in the essence of the kids and a lot of my prep was just making sure that I treated all of them, the exact same on camera so that, you know, these are the same people that Mary feels the same way towards her little brother when he's an adult as she does when he's a kid. It just, you know, gets just as annoyed just as for, I love that. Like all big sisters would. Right. Okay. You know, I gotta ask. Right. Right. Right. I should say I'm Fury of God. It's been already called highly entertaining and a really good sequel, which you often don't hear about Sequels. So the first reactions have been pretty positive. What do you expect fans to get out of this or what do you hope they take away from this installment? I know when I saw it, I forgot I was in it and I just got lost in the movie like I was a kid again and just completely consumed with what's gonna happen next. So I hope that people feel a lot of wonder watching it and that they leave the theater feeling um a little bit more excited about life. Yeah, I know it excites my family, all of our kids, we're all walking around after we see one of the movies. Like damn, we act like we have superpowers. You gotta do that. Right. I hope people are going. Exactly. Exactly. So, okay, I gotta ask you this question. I know you're used to it. But if you could have one superpower in real life, what would it be and why I always say a different answer depending on my mood. Um, really flying would be really fun. I feel like being able to just pop over to Europe at a moment's notice, maybe having to dodge some weather. Um, but that would be pretty cool. I mean, what about you? What? That's a big question. I know. I want to time travel. I know that I can do what I want to do. Fix some rights in the wrong. I know it can mess up the whole world but it may be worth it in some situations. I want to do that too. Can I do that? Well, you know, if you fly so fast you can reverse time and you can fly it forward into time so you can use that same power for both. Okay. So we'll work together, okay. You just gotta be careful cause you might hit a lot of bugs and birds while you're flying. So just be careful with that power before we let you go. We have to ask you to describe spasm, fury of the gods and just three words. Can you do it? Oh, family, magic danger.
