Ross Butler Dishes On Being Part of 'Shazam!' Movie As Superhero Eugene

If you went to see Shazam! in theaters this weekend, then you definitely saw Ross Butler!

In the flick, Ross is the adult version of Eugene, played by Ian Chen, in his superhero form.

He took to Instagram over the weekend to share his thanks to fans for the support and open up about being part of the movie.

“HADOUKEN!” Ross started, which is a Street Fighter reference he does. “Thank you everyone for all the love the past couple of weeks and keeping us at number 1!”

He continues, “I can finally express how amazing it has been to be a part of #Shazam and to be (one of?) the first on-screen male Asian superhero in film. Not a martial artist, not a swordsman, but a full fledged, traditional, non stereotypical superhero.”

“When I was younger and pretended to be superheroes with my friends on the playground, I didn’t have an Asian superhero to pretend to be. I didn’t want to be a karate master. I wanted to have claws come out of my hands or shoot lasers out of my eyes,” Ross adds. “So for all my Asian American little brothers and sisters out there, keep dreaming anything you want to dream, and I’ll keep shooting lightning out of my hands ⚡⚡.”
