“got to see my big sisters today! ๐ ๐ซ๐๐,” Zegler wrote on Twitter. You can check out the cute photos of the trio below:
“It was wonderful,” Mirren previously shared. “For me, work โ of course, work is when making money, of course, โ and also it’s my artistic expression and all of that. But it’s also fun. And, there are certain things you do just for the fun of it. And, certainly doing Shazam is one of those jobs that was enormous fun and terribly hard work as well. Very hot in Atlanta. My costume weighed, I think, thirty pounds; it was so heavy. But great, great fun to do that kind of a movie. Just fantastic.”
