One thing I really appreciate about Zach is that he takes his time answering a question haha. Ask him a question and expect to be there for the next 5 minutes hahaha. He cares about the questions and his fans. That’s awesome.
you mean his manager...geezs
@@erikciel2817 not his manager, him. He's the one answering the questions. If he was just being told to be like that when he doesn't feel like it, it would totally show.
true. in all of his interviews, he's always been appreciative of compliments while remaining humble and he's well aware he owes it to the fans...
Levi knows alot about comic world. He is a fan and a superhero himself. Nerd hero love it just how much he is in to it.
Vain glory > Mobile legends
i still remember when he was doing NerdHQ. i miss those times.
@@steelsheen and because the film succeeded maybe he would bring it back?
I honestly watch all of Zachary Levi's interviews on TH-cam. He's so eloquent, charming, and funny AF. Have you guys seen him on The Marvelous Mrs.Maisel? He's spectacular!
Thanks for your love and support ❤️, sorry for not replying your on time I have been busy for some while now
You don't even need a trailer, Levi sell's it on his own!!
Zachary Levi has bulked up. He is the perfect Shazam
Right? I thought it was me... but he is really getting bulkier... Makes sense that Sandberg talked about a new suit, they have to fit Zach accordingly...
Gavin says: instead of Hulk smash we have: captain Marvel make us laugh!!!
He has a baby face in the trailers.. i prefer him with the beard
What about john cena?
Come on now that suit is NOT all him. No way he would have lost all that mass and definition (wait he had none in the suit) in such a short period of time. He's healthy looking and has a SHAZAM face but he doesn't have the size of Henry Cavill.
Zachary Levi is hysterical. Shazam is definitely piquing my interest now.
The story from which the movie is roughly based is one of my fav DC comics stories of all-time. You should check it out.
I'll probably watch it for him since I became a fan of his since Tangled.
Gavin says: a comedic superhero is something we need right now as well as Chris hemsworth's Thor ! This guy makes effortless use of comedy hijinks all round and a nutty hero to boot!!!!
Not to be dumb, but what channel is it on?
Zach is genuine Shazam like he literally is, a perfect fit for the Universe atm can't wait for him to be a part of the Justice league.
They should do 'Justice League Crisis on two earths' live action
Who else cried a bit when told the story of joining justice league "if this goes well"
i did. i wanted justice league to succeed 😔
The Dceu is getting better if they keep it going the second movie will get the green light
Aitor Karanka I hope it all goes VERY well for him! This actor is what this genre is all about-total appreciation and respect for comic books and their heroes.
DCEU needs more solo movies to get proper Justice League Movie - Patty Jenkins
Ravi Soren I agree Shazam, ww84,flash, Batman, and a proper MOS sequel then JL followed by Cyborg
He’s perfect for this role, and any other for that matter. He’s the best, I appreciate him as an actor very much. Love this guy.
apart from that, you're beautiful
@@dcfanforlife533 Calm down bro
@@dcfanforlife533 don't stroke her ego, your better than that bro.
Thanks for your love and support ❤️, sorry for not replying your on time I have been busy for some while now
Zachary Levi might be my new favorite superhero actor/actress.
This guy is totally loving it.
He just seems so happy with this opportunity, and you can see he really did his homework with the character and all the superhero stuff, no snarky comment or anything.
He's like Chris Pratt and even more adorable!
How can anyone not want to see this guy on the big screen?
He's really just the best!
Thanks for your love and support ❤️, sorry for not replying your on time I have been busy for some while now
I love Zachary levi, he's the guy that will get you smiling no matter what. I remeber when I watched tangled and heard flynn rider (voiced by the man child that I love to death.) I just instantly started smiling knowing that it's was gonna be a funny movie that I will cherish and watch again. But I can't wait to see him on the big screen as shazam. When it comes out I'm gonna watch it with my family and my twin sister from another mister. Cuz she loves the same type of movies as I do which is action but also comedy so I can't wait to see it with her and get her reaction.
I hope you and your sister enjoy this movie as well, but I wish this movie would sooner. It's gonna take too long.
TheRichRoom yeah I know right. I keep watching the trailer wishing that the movie would just come out now instead of this year.
but did u see Chuck though?
Chuck is poised to become a cultural icon. Well deserved, looking forward to it. Good luck Zach.
Wow he's really handsome and he's funny. Full package right there
I've always loved him. Such a great person and actor. I'm happy to see him getting the exposure he really deserves.
Thanks for your love and support ❤️, sorry for not replying your on time I have been busy for some while now
I will go see Shazam just for Zachary Levi. He's a comic nerd whose enthusiasm for playing a superhero is so palpable you can feel it oozing off him when he talks about it. Big + Superman? I am so there.
This guy talks about his job with as much wonder as the character he plays
If only they could find a role for Yvonne Strahovski in the movie...
@@AmitZinmanVideo. Well then I'll just get greedy and insist that Adam Baldwin turn up somewhere
@@calebalwayswill7423 He's busy working on the Serenity sequel.
@@AmitZinmanVideo Yvonne Strahovski should had played Captain Marvel. She has the body for it😍😍😍
@@AmitZinmanVideo Totally!! haha
Well I'm a child too haha. Girlchild? 😂😂
Zachary comes across as a very down to earth, charming, devil may care,quick witted guy. So underrated. He has never won an Oscar nor a Golden Globe.
Wishing him the best in the future.
Here comes the smoulder.... Tangled
THIS is the Captain Marvel i want to see!
YES!!!
Not Captain Marvel, his name is Shazam.
Brie Larson is a joke
@@Polishjazzman look up his original name
The real captain marvel is here
You can see and hear how passionate he is!! So so happy he's Shazam! He really does deserve it! I hope he makes it in justice League.
Chuck VS Justice League 😜
I'm so excited about this movie. The idea of a kid that turns into a superhero with an adult body but is really still a kid inside reminds me of Tom Hanks' "Big" and I love that movie and think it's a very interesting idea. Also I'm leaning more and more towards DC these days. I've kind of had my fill of Marvel. Looking forward to Aquaman as well.
Cabal Paxiarch Basically Big meets Superman which means it'll be awesome
Based on other vids of him I’ve seen, he genuinely seems like a cool dude.
HYPE METER
Shazam: YEAAAAH!!!
Captain marvel: meh
But shazam is captain marvel.
U can tell Zach is a great guy, down to earth, real and sincere, likes to chat and have real conversation . . . As a long time fan of tv show Chuck I think Zach is gonna do awesome !!! Im more then happy to spend my $$$ going to see his latest film
Zach is really excited for his role. I hope he and the movie do very well.
All I can hear is Eugene Fitzherbert talking haha😂😂😂
I love how excited he is to be apart of this
Damn... Chuck’s been workin out...
Intersect 3.0
Thanks for your love and support ❤️, sorry for not replying your on time I have been busy for some while now
I really think Levi’s energy and lightheartedness will send this movie through the roof. He seems genuinely excited about this character and I’m hoping the movie will be as fun as he wants it to be. And I completely agree that a Justice League movie with him as SHAZAM in it would be a blast. Having SHAZAM all stoked about hanging out with the other heroes like he talked about in this interview would be a riot.
Really hope Shazam is successful. Zach is such a great guy and soo enthusiastic about his character. He’s perfect for it. His energy, levity is infectious. Not too mention he’s a comic/pop culture geek like the rest of us.
He's amazing, fucking love him
He's so sincere!
Thanks for your love and support ❤️, sorry for not replying your on time I have been busy for some while now
I like how he studies his comic book knowledge more, and being more understanding and at the same time, more enthusiastic about it as well! Love the guy!!
His laugh makes me happy and I know I am not the only one happy to hear that sound come from this wonderful man
Thanks for your love and support ❤️, sorry for not replying your on time I have been busy for some while now
He's perfect for this role
Oh man this is such a great interview. I love the chemistry between Zach and the interviewer. Zach, we also want this to happen. We want you in the Justice League and I get even more excited hearing how excited you are to join up with all the characters. Let's make it happen Warner Brothers!
Thanks for your love and support ❤️, sorry for not replying your on time I have been busy for some while now
i want be as wholesome as him
GIVE US SHAZAM ARMWRESTLING SUPERMAN IN THE NEXT JUSTICE LEAGUE
I was watching season 2 of The Marvellous Mrs. Maisel and was surprised to see Zachary Levi in it. His character, despite his quirks and being initially aloof, was so likeable, while having such a powerful physical presence. I was watching him and thinking, "Yeah. This guy is meant to be a superhero." He's also so affable in interviews, so sincere, that you can't help but root for him. I hope the movie does incredibly well and he gets that Justice League movie he wants. Maybe a Justice Society movie would be better for him. None of the baggage of being a JL sequel, yet all of the cool.
I'm not a dc fan but I wanna watch the real captain marvel
This was a fun interview to watch, great host and actor.
Thanks for your love and support ❤️, sorry for not replying your on time I have been busy for some while now
That _was_ a lovely interview. I didn't realize he had been in the *_'THOR'_* movies.
I love him. He's so sincere and warm... I watched and love Chuck and I know he's just a down to earth geeky comic book guy. Now the reaction are out and people saying that they believe in Zach as Shazam just like Jason as Aquaman, Gal as WW and Henry as Superman... it makes me so excited but so damn scared of spoilers. I clicked veeeery carefully and once i heard like 'uh oh this gonna be spoilers' I logged out immediately ahahahah
I hate seing fake fans in the comments ! « He is going to save DC » 🙄🙄🙄 DC DOESN’T NEED TO BE SAVED ! DC is doing great without fake fans and haters. Shazam is going to be another comic accurate and great DC movie. Only true fans deserve to watch it.
Mervé C okayyyyy hipster
If only "true fans" went to see Shazam then its success will only be mediocre as average moviegoer doesn't read comics.
Stanley Kuo true... fans aren’t enough for any comic book movie to be successful but regular moviegoers are critical!!!
hey
after aquaman we are sure that dc didn't need saving anyway and except justice all other movies were quite good but marvel fans be hating amyway
@@kingofbln7039 I wouldn't call Suicide Squad and BvS "Good"
Wow, talk about type casting. I feel like he’s just being himself in SHAZAM
His enthusiasm is pretty great. Shazam will be a big hit.
Here comes Shazam team and Levi trying to SAVE the DC universe. Hoping they could save it. And the girl goes really well with Levi....good chemistry there
Viper King wtf, who cares about that, we just want the movie to succeed and turn a new leaf for the DCU
Marco Zolo yeah . Same here
Eh. DC doesn't need rescuing 😂 Ye'all are getting hysterical for no reason... But Wan and Sandberg are directors in Jenkins' mould and we are blessed to have these guys making these movies...
Anita K agreed, Shazam is going to hit it out of the park same with Aquaman, and WW84 is gold already. Also awaiting the new James Gunn Suicide Squad 2. That will be 4 for 4. Putting DC back on the map
it can save DC and i think the movies gonna do really well especially with the kids being to relate to a teenager turning into a magical superman like characters and its gonna make at least 800mil...
what a likeable talent.
He's so likable, much more than those divas monotonous Cavill, or high Affleck (who thinks rape jokes are funny). I hope Shazam is a big hit, and it can seemlessly replace Superman in DCEU. It's a far more interesting character anyway, which could have been 2nd biggest after Batman in history had DC not bought him over from Action Comics to save Superman's ass in 40s.
That 1 dislike is a Marvel Fan.
Slav
Genesis Mesa yeah
Gavin says: kind of ironic but the thing is this movie is called Shazam and yet the actual main Character is called: Captain Marvel!!!!!
@@margaretseddon4653 ... And do you know that the first name of Shazam was captain Marvel.. And marvel have stole that name
@@bandook5636 my name is Gavin and I'm still using mums phone, yes I know the stolen name story and even though it's a stolen name I really wanna see this!!!!
He's handsome
😍😍😍😍😍
OMG he's so enthusiastic it's infectious, looking forward to seeing the movie!?!
He is soooo funny, can't wait for this film 😂
This is perfect. I love Zachary Levi as Shazam. Can't wait for April
Finally WB cast a true fan of the superheros medium
Loved the movie 🎥 Zack is so handsome and funny!! ❤❤❤
SHAZAM.!!⚡ Loved it.!!! It was hilarious.!!!!
I feel like I just want to sit down and talk or listen to Zachary ☺️
Thanks for your love and support ❤️, sorry for not replying your on time I have been busy for some while now
DC> MARVEL

Facts
Don't even go there
@Hero Let me know when marvel makes a movie better than dark knight
Aquaman and Shazam ❤
He is so cool.
Wait...I know for a fact that Sinbad Shazam movie existed....I SWEAR I could remember the commercials for it. 0_o
His passion for this role is awesome! This movie looks so fun.
Casting actors who embrace their characters really pays off, Levi seems perfect
I have a feeling 'Shazam' is gonna be a Blockbuster 😎
He's so adorkale! ❤️❤️❤️
Thanks for your love and support ❤️, sorry for not replying your on time I have been busy for some while now
Looking forward to it.
7:30 id LOVE to see that. Hope it happens.
Love his Fav superhero was gambit
I definitely want to see a remake of green lantern
Always a Zach fan.
Oh hey chuck
Yes! When he said he loved X-Men, X Factor, X force, that made me tear just a little bit. I'm a fan of both Marvel and DC. But the mutants from the X-Men world are my favorite!
Best interview ever!!! When they brought up Sinbad's 1991 Disney movie Shazam I was excited. Then when both of them actually remember the movie I was like OMG! So did I. 😆
I can't wait to see this, It looks awesome. :)
Shazam should be the cornerstone of DCEU 2.0
i became huge fan of him after watching Chuck. That’s real acting out there and he playing Shazam is perfect casting. He deserves this role and will surely knock lot of movies on the way. I hope they have cameo of Morgan in Shazam 😜😜😜
I enjoyed that they discussed the Mandela Effect at *10:05**...* 😃
I'm so happy for him.
He's a SWEATY! Im proud that he is part of DC and can't wait for SHAZAM!
"Say the magic word"!!!
I'll wait patiently here TBR and TBH I know it's going to ROCK
Great interview. I love it. Can't wait to watch it.
I loveeee him
Love to see an actor this excited and passionate about his superhero role... Its definitely common
His camera test was in Burbank! Huh? Huh?!? 😉
Hope this movie does well.
Love this guy
Is it me or is Zach is getting beefier? 🤔
Anita K bruh he is playing a superhero on the same level of power and strength of superman that’s why he looks jacked.
@@quietdemon8138 Right!!! 👌🏽👌🏽 are you following the Shazam director on Twitter? Dude is hilarious 😂
I'm soooooo excited!!!!!
I don't know why but every time I see Zachary Levi in the trailer, he looks like Jimmy Fallon. LOLOL
I love zacrhaiy Levi I cant wait to be. in sup hero film signing 9 films with marvel and then going to dc can't wait
It’s amazing to see how genuinely excited he is to play his role.
I can't wait
Down to earth dude!!! Awesome!!!
Thanks for your love and support ❤️, sorry for not replying your on time I have been busy for some while now
I remembered when he was Chuck, but he's really Super Hero ready now!!! Can't wait for this movie to come out, and to see him join the Justice League!!! It's definitely happening!!!
She was great! I liked the way she did the interview.
zachary levi deserves THE WORLD
It's going to be completely Cool and Cooler
He was already a superhero
Exciting interview!
Thanks for your love and support ❤️, sorry for not replying your on time I have been busy for some while now
It's weird but I could've seen him play Batman. Obviously he hasn't done anything to date that suggests he could play that kind of role, but he has the look and stature.
Oh my god shazam in the justice league is something i never knew i wanted but it would be frikin awesome
The Sinbad "Shazam" clip Zachary Levi is talking about was done as an April Fool's Day gag a few years ago.
