Milans is best known for her TV roles, with appearances on High Maintenance, No Tomorrow, and Killer Women.
While Billy’s foster family situation has had a few evolutions throughout the comics, there’s a chance that Milans could be playing Rosa Vasquez, Billy’s foster mother in the New 52 continuity. Quite a bit of recent casting has seemed to support that, with the child versions of the Marvel family – Freddy Freeman (Jack Dylan Grazer), Eugene Choi (Ian Chen), Pedro Pena (Jovan Armand), and Darla Dudley (Faithe Herman) – already being cast. The Walking Dead fan-favorite Cooper Andrews will be playing one of the film’s other foster parents.
Shazam! will also star Zachary Levi as Billy’s adult alter-ego, Mark Strong as Dr. Sivana, Ron Cephas Jones as The Wizard, and Grace Fulton in a mystery role. With the film’s production set to begin very soon, more casting announcements can surely be expected.
