Shazam! Fury of the Gods Funko Pop Reveals Rachel Zegler’s Character

For years now, Funko Pops have revealed information to fans about characters in upcoming comic book movies. This trend continues as the forthcoming wave of toys from Shazam! Fury of the Gods has revealed the true name of one character.

In a recent post on Twitter, Rachel Zegler (West Side Story), who is set to star in the upcoming sequel, revealed a line of Funko Pops that are releasing alongside the film. The set not only featured most of the main characters but also revealed the name of Zegler’s character: Anthea.

While not too much is known about Zegler’s character in the upcoming film, she will appear as the younger sister of Hespera and Kalypso — the three daughters of Atlas — all of whom will likely serve as the antagonists in the film in some form.

Shazam! Fury of the Gods will feature the return of Asher Angel and Zachary Levi as they reprise their respective roles as Billy Batson and Shazam. Joining them are most of the first film’s main cast, including Jack Dylan Grazer and Adam Brody as Freddy, Faithe Herman and Meagan Good as Darla, Ian Chen and Ross Butler as Eugene, Grace Fulton as Mary, Jovan Armand and D.J. Cotrona as Pedro, Marta Milans, and Cooper Andrews.

After defeating Sivana and the Seven Deadly Sins in the 2019 film, the sequel will see the Shazam family going up against much more dangerous threats, with the introductions of the daughters of Atlas — Hespera and Kalypso — who are set to be portrayed by Oscar winner Helen Mirren and Kill Bill actress Lucy Liu.
