& # 39; & # 39 Shazam!; Villain Mark Strong is delighted to own Sivana

The young Billy Batson will become a superhero, but he will face the terror of Dr. Thaddeus Sivana in the next film Shazam !

Looks like the actor Mark Strong is still playing the villain, but it's the second time that he's playing a super villain in the DC Comics universe. And he is eager to leave his mark as sneaky Dr. Sivana.

"I think that, because we have gone through a whole process of many superheroes, where we are looking for those who are a little more obscure, or we will discover some more obscure images, should I say", a Strong said when visiting ComicBook.com on the set of Shazam !, "I was really surprised to find out that in 1940 when the original the comic is out, Sivana was in the second edition.This is a real naughty old school.And as no one has done it before, I'm really excited at the idea of 39, inventing my version of it. "

Strong appeared previously in Green Lantern as a mentor-turned-S Jordan's enemy of Hal Jordan, though he did not really have the chance to go wild in this movie. And while fans might wonder why Shazam! Black Adam, the actor does not want to doubt the source.

"You can not really question the original comics I mean, if they had the feeling that he was worthy nemesis and that there was enough to do with him for him to create constant complications for Shazam, maybe that's why there are no other bad guys in this universe, or there are others anyway, because it's really very good, never say, is not it, that the hero is as good as his villain.I hope to make Sivana really iconic, "Strong said.

Although Sivana has a deep knowledge of science, he is also aware of the magic that exists in the universe of DC Films. And his knowledge of the wizard makes him wonder why the young Billy Batson will be endowed with these abilities.

"He does not understand, you know, he does not understand that the wizard chose this boy as his champion," Strong said. "Yet, the sorcerer has chosen a boy, and he realizes that this boy manifests himself manifestly in the man, Zachary version [Levi] of Shazam, and for him, it is a source of inspiration. total incomprehension, why this boy should have been chosen This simply justifies him in his quest to unify good strength and perverse strength and to control it all. "

We'll see how Billy will manage in the fight against Sivana when Shazam! is premiered on April 5th.
