“I always wanted to play a superhero. I grew up reading comics,” said Brody, who stars in Shazam! Fury Of The Gods.

For Adam Brody, donning the padded superhero suit in Shazam! and its sequel is a dream come true.

Brody plays the adult version of a geeky and awkward character, but the actor reveals he was a “beach bum” in high school. In the last few years, his movie knowledge has expanded into child-friendly territory. Brody has two children with his wife, actor Leighton Meester.
