When asked about the origins of Kalypso, who in mythology is actually the one who imprisoned Odysseus in “The Odyssey,” Lucy says that you have to use your imagination.
“You don’t really get the whole slew of information, which I think in some ways is better, because you have a clean slate,” she told SlashFilm.
Later on in the same interview, Lucy opened up about the chaotic language she speaks as Kalypso.
“It’s supposed to be chaos,” she noted. “I asked David [F. Sandberg, director] what it should be, and he was like, ‘It doesn’t really matter. So you can say whatever you want.’”
When co-star Rachel asked her if she actually was speaking Parseltongue, Lucy said she did.
“I went, ‘Let me bring in Harry Potter for this.’”
Shazam! Fury of the Gods opens on Friday, March 17.
