Asher Angel Explains Why Zachary Levi was Perfect to Play Shazam in SHAZAM!

I think Zachary Levi is perfect for the role of Shazam in the upcoming DC film Shazam!, and I’m sure many agree (ignore the costuming choice if you have to). Fans aren’t the only ones that think that either. Variety recently caught up with Asher Angel who is playing the young version of Billy Batson, and Angel shared his thoughts.

If the trailer is a true representation of what we see in the film, I agree that Levi’s goofiness crossed with his geekiness has led to a perfect superhero match.

Shazam! is set to release April 5, 2019.
