- The Shazam: Fury Of The Gods screenwriter has revealed that one of the movie’s superheroes, Pedro Peña, is gay and the movie will be “more forthright” about his sexual preferences.
- “The only new addition for this movie is being a lot more forthright about Pedro being gay,” writer Henry Gayden revealed during a recent interview.
- Pedro’s sexuality was “hinted at in the first movie very subtly,” Gayden added. “And I thought it was really important and really, really fought for us including that and bringing that to the fore in this movie.”
