And to bring that up in a movie of this size and normalize it and have all these little different walks of lives with different ethnicities, different races, different handicaps, different special needs, all these kinds of things being brought together under a beautiful home of love that is not necessarily biological, but it's chosen family.Īnd to see that their reality, and you believe it in the first movie, and you believe it in the second movie, you believe that this family loves one another, and they live together and that Mama Rosa and top of it to bring all those kids together. I think it's crucial because, like I said, the foster care program is not well-discussed, and it's not on the mainstream conversations of society in North America or my country for that matter. Marta Milans: I hadn't thought about that. Can you talk about the Shazamily's bond and why it's important to include that representation? I love that we see two different representations of family in this film, with the Daughters of Atlas being blood relatives versus the Shazamily, which is a foster family. You guys bring those characters to life in such an amazing way. To see themselves reflected in a movie like this and know that it's possible that there are Mama Rosas out there in the world, talk about a good positive message to society. Because you imagine for all those kids out there that don't come from stable homes, that don't come from healthy environments at home or broken homes or not good biological homes. I will always be your mom." To transmit that to a child and have him know that in his heart, which is why he calls her mom and says, "I love you, mom," it's beautiful.Īnd I'm just lucky that I got to play that part and inspire so many kids out there when they see the movie, that's why I'm so, so much looking forward for it to come out. And all she says to him, holding his face is, "You will never grow out of your home. On top of that, to have been gifted a scene in which she gets to say the most beautiful thing you're can say to a child who thinks he's going to lose his home again, who lost his mom one time, who found a new mom and thinks he's going to lose her again because he's going to turn 18. And I called Henry, our writer, and I thanked him because if you really think about it, the reason I think behind the success of the first Shazam into the second one is the heart behind the family unit. "I love you, mom," which is just so beautiful. I burst into tears when I read the scene on the rooftop when she finally hears her son call her mom. Marta Milans: I was so pleasantly surprised.
