I know no one probably gives two shits about this but THIS IS MY PERSONAL FAN CAST FOR THE PJO SHOW (specifically who they haven’t cast yet)
Athena - Kerry Washington
I don’t even have to explain myself. She is perfect. The amount of power this woman holds with just a pose? She’d make a perfect Athena. 10/10
Apollo - Yung Gravy
I 👏 DO 👏 NOT 👏 NEED 👏 TO 👏 EXPLAIN 👏 MY 👏 SELF 👏 Like are you kidding me?? I do not care if he can’t act for shit GET THIS MAN AS APOLLO
Aphrodite - Lizzo/Margot Robbie
I blame Barbie for these choices. The only reason I choose two is because idk what’s going on with that Lizzo Lawsuit? So if that plays out nicely then yay Lizzo but if it doesn’t, Margot Robbie. And I know Margot Robbie is a big name but… she’s my Aphrodite 🥺
Artemis - Ashley Johnson
This might not hit for a lot of people, but I think Ashley Johnson would be a FANTASTIC Artemis. She has the gentleness of moonlight but harshness of pitch black night. I could totally see her ruling over a pack of young lesbians idk bout any of you 🤷♀️ I also think she pairs up fantastically with Yung Gravy. Perfect ‘polar opposite’ pairing of you ask me.
Atlas - Christopher Judge
So for those who don’t know, this guy voices Kratos from the new God of War games. And holy shit is he perfect for this role. I’ve always personally thought that Atlas was this large man with a deep voice, something to really be feared. AND MOTHER FUCK DOES THIS MAN HAVE BOTH. HE’S LARGE AND HE MAKES HIMSELF IN CHARGE. I’d die if they got him as Atlas.
Hera -Meryl Streep
Ok ok ok ok BIG LEAP I KNOW. But like??? I can’t explain it but she’d make a great Hera in my eyes. Look at her!! Have you seen her in Devil Wears Prada? Like damn. I’ve also loved her since I was little so, based I guess
Blackjack (voice) - Logan Lerman
Fuck me guys I can’t help it. First of all? It would be funny. I don’t have a second reason other than I really like him. And for what the old movie thought it was making? I don’t think he did a bad job as Percy at all. Do I like the movie at all? Absolutely fuck no. But I still respect all the actors because it wasn’t their fault the movie was shit. And again, it would be funny. Also, he says he loves Walker as Percy???? Literally says “I can’t imagine a better fit” like??????? How wholesome is that??? Ok rant over sowwy I just have a lot of thoughts about this man.
Tyson - Jack Dylan Grazer
This funky little nerd needs to play Tyson. I just think he’d be an amazing Tyson, all awkward and jittery. That’s how I always saw him at least. But yes, him as Tyson!
Ok this is all I got for now but please add your opinions on this fan cast! I’m interested to see what everyone thinks 🥰 (if anyone sees this at all)

First Take: Shazam!: Fury of the Gods - one in, all in
SYNOPSIS: Two years on from the events of the original film, Billy Batson and his band of foster kids turned superheroes take on a new enemy - the Sisters of Atlas - as only they know how
We all remember where we were on that weekend in 2019. You know the one. I was in a radio studio at UCLan reviewing the first Shazam film, and bigging up DC’s latest combobreaker at the time- a lot has happened since then, as we have waited for the sequel to arrive. After a lengthy delay, partly due to Covid, but mostly due to the restructure currently underway at DC’s film department (spearheaded by James Gunn), it is finally here. And sadly it just isn’t quite as playful as the first one was.
David F Sandberg returns to helm this sequel, and coming in at 2 hours 10 minutes, it packs a lot in to a relatively short runtime (for this kind of film), but like with a lot of DC’s output lately, it doesn’t know which kind of film it wants to be - sure, the light nature of the first one is still there, but the script from Henry Gayden and long-time Fast and Furious writer Chris Morgan takes the ‘Shazamily’ to darker places, ones which could be worthy of 15 certificates rather than 12s, but sadly the key problem it has is with the predictable plot. We have literally seen all of this story before- luckily it passes the 6 laugh test, which is all you can ask for with a movie of this nature. As for the other technical aspects, Gyula Pados’ cinematography is great, and taking over scoring duties is Christophe Beck - a man who knows how to score a film like this.
The cast are brilliant though, with Zachary Levi, Asher Angel, Jack Dylan Grazer, Adam Brody, Grace Caroline Currey, Ross Butler, Ian Chen, DJ Cotrona, Jovan Armand, Meagan Good and Faithe Herman all returning as the heroes and kids respectively, and joining them this time round is a real triple threat of Lucy Liu, Dame Helen Mirren, and last year’s breakout star (and hot off the heels of working with Spielberg) Rachel Zegler as the sisters of Atlas. It is mega obvious that they all had a lot of fun on set, especially when it comes to certain major plot points, but with the wider DC reset looming, just where will the Shazam franchise lie in Mr Gunn’s priorities? Only time will tell.
THE VERDICT
It feels like the sheer amount of delays have hit the momentum of this franchise - we’ve seen lots of these kinds of sequels, especially with some of the ‘connect the dot’ plot points we have in this film, but it’s ultimately gonna break even, which is all Warner are fussed about at the minute. Whether DC can return to the absolute height of their power (like last year’s The Batman did) all hinges on The Flash now.
RATING: 3/5
