This week during a live stream, "Shazam!" star Zachary Levi was asked point-blank, "Why the crap suit?" He responded extremely positively and gave hope to all Captain Marvel fans everywhere. Though no official photos have been released yet surrounding "Shazam!", some pretty high-quality photos have surfaced, giving fans a glimpse of the incredible live-action red and gold suit. Most fans have reacted with positivity and excitement while a select group of "fans" still choose to hate and belittle the great work done by so many men and women. With this live video, Levi not only showed how awesome of a guy we have playing the titular role, but what kind of person he is as well.
While addressing the person's question he was sincere and proud.
What exactly did Levi have to say about his 'Shazam!' suit?
Levi's response was amazing. "...Well, I don't think it's a crap suit, I think my suit is f***in' bomb to be perfectly honest." I couldn't have said it better myself, Mr. Levi. With so much negativity in today's world, especially with how films look even before they're finished, Levi had this to say, "I think you just want to be angry for angry sakes." This perfectly sums up a lot of people who live to just be negative about a film. If you don't like it, no one's forcing you to watch it. It takes a lot of people, and a ton of their hard work and dedication to bring these films to life.
Levi continued, "They're trying really hard to make something that's awesome and that pleases a lot of different people..." Everything that Levi said could pertain to many different superhero films lately and people's nasty attitude before even seeing a finished product.
When will we see 'Shazam!'?
Still currently filming, "Shazam!" is set to release next year. Zachary Levi, of course, is the lead role and the film is being directed by David F.
Sandberg. Other casting includes the acting great Mark Strong as Dr. Thaddeus Sivana, and film newcomer Asher Angel is the boy-turned-superhero, Billy Batson!
According to IMDB.com, the film actually follows the 1941 "Adventures of Captain Marvel" serial film, starring Tom Tyler. If you haven't seen it yet, I suggest giving it a watch.
You can view it on YouTube now for free.
I personally look forward to seeing "Shazam!" next year and will have my ticket ready in hand. With the wisdom of Solomon, the strength of Hercules, the stamina of Atlas, the power of Zeus, the courage of Achilles, and speed of Mercury, he is the holder of the power of S.H.A.Z.A.M; Zachary Levi is Captain Marvel.
