‘Shazam!’ star Zachary Levi on DC drama, rumours about James Gunn's recasting

‘Shazam!’ star Zachary Levi has opened up about the recent drama surrounding the new appointed DC co-heads, James Gunn and Peter Safran and the speculation about DC franchise’s future. During an Instagram Live, he defended Gunn and Safran and encouraged DC fans to give the new CEOs ‘time to make something special.’

‘You have no idea the reasonings behind any of the decisions that are going on. The amount of conjecture and rumor mill and drama and nonsense that keeps getting spun around out there on Instagram and Twitter is laughable. It is unbelievably laughable... So I would just say be patient, and give them some space and some time to try and really make something special. And I think something that DC deserves to have, and something that [Zack] Snyder tried to do and it just didn’t ultimately materialize, guys,’ the actor said in a part.

He added that Gunn and Safran are ‘making decisions based on what is best for Warner Bros., DC, that entire studio and entity and trying to make as many fans, as much of an audience, happy as they can.’
Levi will next star in ‘Shazam! Fury of the Gods’ that will release on March 17, 2023.

Talking about the sequel, Levi said ‘it’s even better than the first one and the first one was really fucking good.’ He added that even if ‘Shazam 2’ doesn’t perform well, he fully trusts Gunn and Safran’s vision.

The recently appointed CEOs of DC Studios made major changes to the production and presentation of the studio’s film lineup, including the ‘Black Adam’, ‘Superman’ and the ‘Wonder Woman’ franchises.
