It looks as though Dr. Sivana will not make a return for the Shazam sequel. While promoting Cruella, Strong says he is taking a back seat to Helen Mirren and Lucy Liu, who will be the films new antagonists.
“I literally spoke to the producer last night, because I saw that Zach Levi tweeted that they’re about to start shooting in Atlanta. Dr. Sivana isn’t in Shazam! 2. What’s happened is, I think Helen Mirren and Lucy Liu and perhaps someone else – they’ve got some female villains in. And to be honest with you, I’m very happy to take a back seat to some female villains and let them have a go, because judging by the work that Emma Thompson and Emma Stone have done in Cruella, it’s about time.”
Helen Mirren and Lucy Liu will play Greek goddesses, Hespera and Kalypso.
The first movie teased a possible return for the villain alongside Mister Mind and when asked if we would return for future sequels, Strong added
“Who knows? He’s still got unfinished business with Mister Mind.”
If the new movie does well then perhaps we will see the return of Sivana along with the showdown between Zachary Levi’s Shazam and Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam.
