EXCLUSIVE: Shazam! filmmakers reveal the secrets about THAT post-credits scene

SOUND THE SPOILERS KLAXON!

The constant extra cherry on top of pretty much every superhero movie these days comes in the form of the mid- and/or post-credits scenes.

Shazam! is no different (well, it is different, but in a good way), providing two scenes once the main movie is done and dusted.

One of them is the amusing one (throwing shade at Aquaman), and one is the “Future Villain” one, which … AGAIN, SPOILER WARNING! … turns out to be Mister Mind.

For those who don’t know, Mister Mind is a kind of space caterpillar (?!), one that is hugely intelligent and possesses telepathic powers.

So we asked the filmmakers why they settled on him (it??) for the “Future Villian” credits scene, who provides the voice for him, and then they reveal that he had actually appeared much earlier in the movie, but we had completely missed it.

If you’re going back to watch it a second (or third or fourth!) time, then make sure to keep an eye out for it (him???) in that earlier scene!

You can also check out the rest of our interview with the director and producer of Shazam!, as well as the movie’s big bad guy Mark Strong (who LOVED being the evil villain!), and the hero himself, played by Zachary Levi, who we test on his superhero knowledge!

Check out all of those interviews on JOE’s YouTube Channel right here, while Shazam! is released in Irish cinemas on Friday 5 April, and you can get your tickets right here.
