She'll cause trouble for the titular superhero alongside Helen Mirren.
Lucy Liu has officially joined the cast for DC's "Shazam!" sequel, "Shazam! Fury of the Gods."
Liu will play as the villainous DC character Kalypso, sister to Helen Mirren's previously-cast Hespera. Though neither character exists in the comics, the two are daughters to Greek god Atlas -- and Shazam's powers are tied to Greek mythology.
