“Shazam!” celebrity Zachary Levi really did not keep back from calling out the link in between James Gunn, currently head of the upcoming reboot of the DC motion picture world, and his bro Sean Gunn, that was simply cast as Maxwell Lord in the overhauled comic globe.
Chris Killian of ComicBook.com asked Levi if he would certainly have an interest in taking a course comparable to Sean Gunn or Jason Momoa, both of whom have actually played various other DC duties prior to being cast in the brand-new movies. In Sean Gunn’s situation for certain and according to reports for Momoa, they have actually each handled brand-new mantles, with Sean Gunn’s a much more considerable one than his previous “The Suicide Squad” (2021) looks as Weasel.
“I don’t know,” Levi claimed when asked if he would certainly be doing the exact same, following his run as Shazam in the previous DC movie globe. “Listen, when you’re the brother of the guy who runs DC, I guess you get to play whoever you want.”
“Sean was never established in the DC Universe,” Levi claimed. “I mean, he’s played Marvel characters, but this is his first DC character.” Killian explained that Sean Gunn had actually formerly shown up in what Levi later on explained as “cameos” like Schedule Guy and Weasel. Levi doubted whether Momoa was authorized onto any type of various other DC duties, mostly that of Lobo.
When it comes to the future of “Shazam!” after “Fury of the Gods” released in movie theaters this previous March, Levi isn’t certain, however he has some concepts for proceeding the personality’s story.
“I’m really proud of both films. I really think the second film was in some respects even better than the first, and the first was really good,” Levi claimed. “I’m truly pleased with both of them. It eventually really did not do at package workplace when everyone wished it would certainly do, so I do not understand eventually just how that plays right into the destiny eventually of where it goes.
“But if I only ever got the shot to do the first two films, [I’m] very grateful for that opportunity because it’s such a delightful character to play,” Levi proceeded. “It’s Christopher Reeves in ‘Superman’ and Tom Hanks in ‘Big’ in one role, and that was my childhood, and so like, getting to bring that to life was so much fun. I would love being able to do more iterations of it. I would love to collaborate with, like, Nathan Fillion’s Green Lantern.”
