'Shazam!' EXCLUSIVE: Marta Milans talks about her matriarchal role and her "spiritual" calling to the role
The release of the much anticipated DC superhero movie ‘Shazam!’ is right around the corner and fans all over the world couldn’t be more excited. ‘Shazam!’ is the first of what will hopefully be many movie installments of this DC comic book series, and some would say this superhero movie has a little more heart than most.
‘Shazam!’ follows 14-year-old Billy Batson, a young boy who has been in different foster homes for most of his life after being abandoned by his mother. After landing in a foster home that for once treats him with love and care, he gains the power of magically transforming into an adult superhero named Shazam.
One of the things that makes ‘Shazam!’ such a special film is the fantastic cast which includes Zachary Levi, Djimon Hounsou, Mark Strong and Marta Milans, who plays Billy’s foster mother Rosa.
After years of being treated terribly in the foster system, Billy finally finds a loving home with Rosa and her husband Victor. The way the couple selflessly takes in children that need a home is one of the most heartwarming aspects of the film, and Milans was thrilled to take on such an important role.
