Shazam!, the latest DC blockbuster, starring a 38-year-old Levi as its titular lead. In his own words, “Shazam! is the biggest that thing I’ve ever done and it hasn’t even come out yet.”
Shazam! has been touted as DC’s answer to Deadpool: the irreverent outsider ready to pull the rug beneath his more celebrated stablemates – men both Bat and Super – and turn a relatively unknown superhero into the hottest property in Hollywood. Even Levi – the man who founded the website Nerd HQ – only knew of Shazam! “peripherally” before his casting. (He was a Marvel kid.)
He’s fully informed now, as I discover when I seek to clarify the Shazam! origin story. “I’ll broad-strokes this,” he says, and proceeds to distill 80 years of comic-book history into a little under three minutes. (And if you aren’t impressed by this feat, you soon will be.)
