Stars of new 'Shazam!' movie Zachary Levi and Helen Mirren throw Jono and Ben off the Auckland Harbour Bridge

The stars of the highly anticipated movie Shazam! Fury of the Gods sat down with Jono and Ben for a wild interview that was anything but ordinary. In fact, it left the hosts feeling a rush of adrenaline. 

Between answering questions about their new superhero flick, Zachary Levi, Rachel Zegler, Lucy Liu, and Helen Mirren – had the option to see Jono and Ben flung off the Auckland Harbour Bridge. 
 
Things kicked off quickly with Zachary Levi, who plays the titular hero in the film, uttering the magical word "Shazam" as soon as the interview started.  

Suddenly, Jono found himself hurtling toward the water below as he bungy-jumped off the Auckland Harbour Bridge. But fear not, Jono survived the jump and while he was feeling a little woozy afterward, he was ready to chat with the rest of the cast. 

"Oh my gosh the power I've been imbued with, this is insane," an elated Zachary exclaimed, after explaining he had also taken on the Auckland Harbour Bridge bungy himself.

Rachel Zegler - whom you will recognise from Steven Spielberg's West Side Story - also said the secret word "Shazam!" during the interview, and this time it was Ben's turn to take the plunge. With nerves of steel, Ben stepped up to the challenge and bungee-jumped off the bridge like a pro. 

Throughout the interview, the stars shared insights into their experiences making the film and what it was like working with each other. Helen Mirren, who plays the main villain, did a lot of her own stunts during the film, but between takes tried out a hoverboard for the first time with the help of her co-star. 

"I had a very good teacher in Zach," the award-winning actress revealed. "There’s nothing like floating along, I felt like a goddess. It was fabulous, I love it."

If this thrilling interview is any indication of what we can expect from Shazam! Fury of the Gods, then we're in for one heck of a ride in the cinemas. Get your popcorn ready! 

Shazam! Fury of the Gods is out in New Zealand movie theatres now.
