Zachary Levi seemed pretty confident that his pals James Gunn and Peter Safran would allow his tenure as Shazam to continue in the new DCU during a recent interview, but a report from a (mostly) reliable insider suggested that the actor would be joining Henry Cavill on the caped superhero unemployment line.
One of Levi's Twitter followers expressed their disappointment that he might be leaving the role, and he responded with the following.
"Oooh, I really wouldn’t go believing everything you see on the internet. I’m Gucci, Ash. We all Gucci."
So, as far as Levi is concerned, he is very much still on board as Billy Batson/Shazam and seemingly expects to remain in the role post Fury of the Gods.
Gunn hasn't addressed Levi's future, specifically, but did appear to indicate that not everyone from the DCEU era would be recast (at least, we think that's what he meant?), so perhaps he really is safe.
Or is he having an Alexandra Shipp moment?
