unexampled detail regarding Mark Strong ’s villainous Doctor Sivana inShazam!have come forth .

EWrecently talk withShazam!director David F. Sandberg about Doctor Sivana . He bring out to them that Sivana was approached byThe Wizard ( Djimon Hounsou)years ago , as a potential candidate to take on the powers enjoy by Shazam . Sivana was not pick out , and the Wizard rather wait until finding Batson to pass on his mantle . However , that rejection drive Sivana to devote his life to figure out how to obtain powers . He ’ll have some inShazam ! , but Sandberg is being coy about how he receives them and what they are .
Mark Strong sleep with being a bad guy wire . And it ’s not just him , really , it ’s … something else … that lent him his powers … he can do some thing that Shazam ca n’t . The risk in some films is the spoiled guy has the same powers as the unspoiled guy wire . [ Sivana ] has an extrathing , redundant moral force , that take care of that .
Everything that ’s been seen fromShazam!so far shows the incredible influence the New-52 version of the character is accept on the picture show . It looks to be tellingthe exact same storycomic readers would expect , and that could be the explanation behind the"extra thing"that is powering Sivana . In The New-52 reboot , Sivana is gifted power from Mister Mind , a elephantine Venusian worm that can verbalize telepathically . Considering all the other cuesShazam!is necessitate from this version of the chief characters , it would n’t be surprising if they did a similar adaptation with Sivana .
If it is n’t Mister Mind that helps Sivana , there ’s another directionShazam!could go . Prior to his partnership with Mister Mind , Sivana is ghost with the possible action of trick . He come up the grave of Black Adam , and is exposed to sorcerous light that afford him the power to see deception . If the movie change this more or less to actually have Sivana gain certain ability from Black Adam , it ’d make him a greater resister for Shazam . The trailer did show his intensity , as he stopped Shazam ’s mighty punch without any worry . Connecting Sivana to Black Adam in any way immediately spread the door for Dwayne Johnson to have a role in thealready planned sequel , since he suppose heisn’t going to cameo in the first moving picture . Whether it ’s Mister Mind , Black Adam , or something else , there ’s still a lot left to learn aboutShazam ! ’s villain .
