ZACHARY LEVI AS SHAZAM


It has been announced by the Hollywood Reporter that Zachary Levi will be playing Shazam in the DC films. Shazam has been in the works for a while now, they cast Dwayne the rock Johnson as Shazam's main villain, Black Adam a few years ago, but this seems like a fairly recent decision, as I feel like Warner Bros may have announced the casting news when everything was settled. However, they may have left it until now so people wouldn't speculate on Shazam being in Justice League.

But speaking of the films he will appear in. It is most likely he won't appear in Justice League, and the first time we will see him will be in his own film titled "Shazam!",  however, he could also appear in the Black Adam solo film which is in the works. After Shazam gets his own film he will obviously appear in the Justice League sequels, possibly the Flashpoint film, depending on the order the films are released.

Zachary Levi has appeared in a number of films and tv shows, such as Heroes Reborn and in the Thor films as Fandral, one of the warriors three. Levi playing Shazam means that he has to get in super serious shape, especially if you want Shazam to convincingly put up a fight with Dwayne Johnson as Black Adam.

Warner Bros still needs to cast the child version of Shazam (well Billy Batson), because if you don't know the story of Shazam, it focuses on child Billy Batson who is chosen by Wizard Shazam, who grants Billy the powers of the gods which are activated when he says "Shazam" which also transforms Billy into an adult. There is a bunch more to the origin story of the Shazam family, but that was just a simple run down.

In conclusion, it is great that Zachary Levi is going to play Shazam in the DC films. I am excited to see a live-action modern day adaptation of the beloved character. I would like to hear your thoughts on the casting of Shazam in the DC film universe. As always thanks for reading, take care.
