Helen, the star of the most recent 'Shazam!', was promoting her new film, 'Fury of the Gods', and she waved to the people and appeared in good spirits. Helen revealed during the interview that she brought her great-nephew Basil to the movie's LA world premiere because he isn't used to the glittering lifestyle.
'He lives in a small town in Connecticut"
While speaking with the host, Michael Strahan, she said, "He lives in a small town in Connecticut, so he's not a sort of L.A. guy. He's not familiar with all of that." She further added, "But at the beginning, I said, 'Do you want to come on the red carpet with me?' He said, 'Yes'. She said, "He loved all of that, but he loved the movie. It was so exciting for him," as reported by DailyMail.
For the first time in her long career, Mirren agreed to participate in a superhero film for her most recent assignment. The 'Queen' veteran joined the cast of 'Shazam!' to play an immortal goddess alongside Zachary Levi and Lucy Liu. A 2019 DC movie sequel is titled 'Fury Of The Gods', as per reports.
'We're above the superheroes'
In a conversation with Liu for The New York Times, Mirren discussed what inspired her to take part in a superhero movie for the first time. She said, "We're above the superheroes, I don't go see a lot of superhero films, quite honestly, but I had seen the first Shazam and been utterly charmed." Mirren went on and added, "So when Shazam 2 came along, I thought, 'Well, if I was going to do a superhero-type movie, that is the one I'd like to be involved in,' because of the wit."
'Hell of a load on their shoulders'
She continued by discussing the outfit she was wearing to play a deity and an enemy. She said, "I now have a lot of sympathy and respect for any man playing a gladiator because they are carrying one hell of a load on their shoulders. As I found out, The costumes are heavier than they look." Mirren then recalled and said, "And we were wobbling around on enormous platform shoes. Gladiators never had to contend with huge, great high heels." Mirren also discussed how portraying a goddess is apart from the previous antagonist roles she has played, as per reports.
