It’s more fun. I can make my own joke, which is even funnier because Mama Rosa isn’t supposed to be funny.”

Mamma Rosa begins to tell her in an emotional moment. I’m lucky to be able to play her again and to be able to say those beautiful words. I’m really lucky.”

Mamma Rosa is the emotional core of Shazam! children. Marta noted that even as the children grow up, “everyone comes home to her. She is the bond that unites everyone.

He added: “I feel like in these very confusing times, very complicated times where people feel more isolated than ever, and what social media and the current state of the world has done is the opposite of bringing people together. To be able to play a character that brings people together, which is so necessary in today’s society, and so necessary for children and young people to feel that there is a sense of unity. It is so clearly demonstrated in the movies through Mama Rosa that it brings me joy because now more than ever I feel we have to reiterate the importance of family, the importance of being together, the importance of being together, where to base ourselves and not feel lost in a world and Shazam! just do it.”

The character of Rosa had a lasting impact on Marta “in many different ways”. The actress told him hollywood life, “I always knew I was going to be a mother in my life, one way or another that is still up for debate. I myself am in the process. But what I can say is that I’ve gravitated towards children my entire life, and I think that’s partly why I got this role because of the bond I have with children. I’ve always had that, so I’ve related to that character a lot. I was also inspired by my mother, who is a Mama Rose on steroids.”

Marta has called her mother a “nurser of children” and children “always gravitate around her.” The actress noted that she’s “trying to emulate that as best as possible, and I think Mama Rosa does that in this film. I’m proud of it because I think people think she’s the mother of many children. Although she is not a biological mother, she is a loving adoptive mother. You see it on screen in the first movie, and I think you’ll see it in the sequel as well. I take pride in my work for that reason, because she resonates with so many people and continues to inspire me. I think those roles resonate in people’s hearts and stay with you. If I can do that with people, it’s a job well done.”

Looking to the future, Marta is determined to “keep telling good stories”. She will be behind the camera and she will direct her first short film this summer in Spain. “I just want to continue to inspire people with important stories and important characters that people can relate to and be inspired by anything,” she said. hollywood life. “I think the entertainment business is not just about entertaining the world, but we can also bring in some wit to create characters that have a certain social impact.
