We’re getting to know Jovan Armand, who can be seen starring in the new movie Shazam! Fury of the Gods!
The 22-year-old actor plays Pedro Pena in the sequel movie, who is one of Billy Batson’s foster siblings. DJ Cotrona plays the superhero version of Pedro.
“I like his relatability and taste in fashion as well as personality,” Jovan recently told Digital Journal about what draws him to playing Pedro. “His personality reminds me a lot of a younger me.”
In the upcoming movie, Pedro’s sexuality will be more prevalent than in the first movie.
“The only new addition for this movie is being a lot more forthright about Pedro being gay. And that was hinted at in the first movie very subtly,” screenwriter Henry Gayden said about diversity and representation in the sequel. “And I thought it was really important and really, really fought for us including that and bringing that to the fore in this movie.”
