Zachary Levi to star in DC adaptation Shazam! Zachary Levi (Thor films, Chuck, Tangled) will play “world’s mightiest mortal” in DC adaptation Shazam!, director David F. Sandberg confirmed today on Instagram!
Without Black Adam, the most well known villain for the hero, there aren’t many villains left for Shazam to tussle with.
Created in 1939 by artist C. C. Beck and writer Bill Parker, Shazam first appeared in Fawcett Comics’ Whiz Comics #2.
Dwayne Johnson will not appear as the villain Black Adam in the film and is developing a solo film for the anti-hero as a separate project.
