Zachary Levi is a treasure who needs to protected at all cost

[@keane2160]

why do I feel like asher is more mature than zach ? 😂

[@ayylmaoabo9706]

Zach is more loosen up at that moment

[@senecarus_whitur]

Asher is pretty flipping nervous, look at the microphone-fidgety-stuff

[@adiabest960]

Honestly!!

[@ayylmaoabo9706]

because he is

Zachary has that energy damn

DARTHASH PIE i had my doubts but it looks to be a perfect casting

[@notforone]

@internetmaster1 he has both lol

Wonder Woman be like, "children, I work with children."

she will be like 'oh, its a child!', then goes over and hug him

And then she'd be like, "By Hera! Have you _tried_ ice cream?! It simply is delicious!"

[@vitaliyred622]

OMG! He is realy a kid in a mans body! The perfect choise for the character 10/10. He is buff also.

[@agelianaioannidou2913]

Zachary seems like such a down to earth person❤❤

[@rochcostner7236]

to all those who thinks his suit is all pad. Is he wearing a padded shirt as well??????? Wake up smell the coffee its real bro. A lil padding is there but for the rest he has worked hard..Kudos

[@anitak3985]

rinchen yolmo Aah but giving credit where credit is due is HARD. I don't think I have seen an interview that derailed in the first 3 seconds :D

[@callumroberts6917]

Superman and batman have padded suits too

[@Jt-mk2mm]

Yelp & I do BelieVe he going 2gt BiGer aS He Continues oN if the MoVie a Big~Hit

[@moisesmontgomery]

its a little padding, but a solid coloured red matte-ish looking suit doesn't help at all. it looks to flat. maybe a bit of shading and highlights on the suit could've improved it, a la Henry's suits

[@ajrenaissance]

The Batman and Superman suits are padded yes but Henry Clearly gets un phenomenal shape for Superman and fills out the suit regardless. Does Levi really look like he fills out that suit? He's not that big.

[@DanielTorres-pw8il]

they have great chemistry!

[@LiloRolland]

i can listening to zack n jack talk trash all day lol

[@danware8141]

I'm really happy for Zach. He lives for this type of entertainment. Finally something big is happening to him. Love it when people who love comic book characters also get to play them. Aaand he got really jacked. Respect. He was always so slender, now he can really go head-to-toe with Superman or other superheroes

[@Legittuber]

danware Yes I like that too

[@bentchlorine]

excuse me chuck is a big thing in my life i take this personally

[@taniaarroyo7502]

can we acknowledge the fact that the director (guy on right) has the same age as zack and they look like 15 years far away from each other.

[@thegooseman90]

I love Zach Levy's enthusiasm and you can clearly see he's done his homework on the dceu.

[@MatthewPalanca]

Zachary Levi is the lovechild of John Krasinski and Jimmy Fallon.

[@jesusocotecatl4910]

Matthew Palanca holy shit

[@AbhishekNayar]

He does look like a mix of John Krasinksi and Armie Hammer

[@dennydarkko]

John krasinski and John cena

[@marty_dee]

John Cena and Michael Caine

[@Blockistium]

which one got mpreg

[@sidnair69]

I hope Zachery Levi get more roles after this. First series I ever saw was CHUCK staring Him in the lead and I always wondered why he wasn't in Hollywood.

[@Legittuber]

siddharth nair Yea first time I saw him was in chuck

[@alsiyonealternate]

That bicep of Zach will burst his sleeves :D

[@maximuslinnerud5950]

Am i the only one who LOVES AND ADORE this cast?? And David is sitting There like their father😂😂😻

[@franketa76]

And seriously rethinking adoption.... 🤣🤣

[@mackenzie_ish]

I'm glad Zachary Levi is finally the main man in a role that really was made for him

[@maarulindaa]

I can´t wait to see this movie ♥♥♥

[@Disney65Fan]

Maaru I'll probably watch it for Zachary Levi and the fact it's the first bodyswapping superhero film

[@subtomeifyoulookedatmyname4651]

Yeah it looks awesome. Love Zachary Levi "No Homo".

[@allyciphers492]

All Light there is a black girl in the supporting cast tho. Read the comics, racist.

[@allyciphers492]

All Light You're still a racist

[@nawabsahab2548]

Same here 😦😦

[@lieutenantkettch]

Zach is jacked! Long way from his Chuck days.

[@Legittuber]

lieutenantkettch Yea that was a good show he did.

[@No8Named8Shadow]

I love how near the end Asher is just hiding his face from Zachary Levi as if he were an embarrassing dad.

[@sanabbb777]

oh god i miss more of zac energy and especially the Nerd HQ panel (which were the best ones at the whole comic con)

[@billykim9584]

i closed my eyes, all i hear Flynn Rider

Same here! Tangled is my favorite movie.

[@jackdeegan3122]

"idk nerd stuff!"-Jack Dylan Grazer...few months later gets cast in a superhero movie...and STILL knows nothing about nerd stuff

[@SM-rn8sq]

Jack Deegan he knows about Shazam but I guess not the other Superheroes as much

[@HB-vy5mr]

@@SM-rn8sq I know this is late, but jack Dylan grazer is freaking obsessed with batman lmao

[@SM-rn8sq]

@@HB-vy5mr yeah I've seen many interviews with him mentioning Batman 😂

[@RoodeMenon]

It must be exhausting for Zachary Levi to turn up the energy levels to 11 in every interview for this movie.

[@anitak3985]

Wise Guy4U But isn't that just his natural setting? :)

[@NeaEmrys]

It's his default setting indeed.

[@zaQba]

I never see one interview where he was calm and collected. There was usually something that made him giddy and excited. Which made him so much fun to watch

[@thewateversho223gaming]

Like he said, he's a real life man child. I'm sure he's always full of energy

[@brolicragelikebroly]

Wise Guy4U definitely. every one is literately dead on this couch but him. Zachary is really selling the movie

[@moisesmontgomery]

I think Zach's actual hair would've been way better than the style they went with

[@hermesjumanji2284]

It’s the same hair just different colors

[@T0FFII]

Why didn't DC do all of this first.. AND then do The Justice League.

[@SM-rn8sq]

Toffee Reggin because they wanted the death of superman to be what unites the league and both Aquaman and Shazam take place after JL but Shazam isn't really a founding member on the New 52 so he didn't have to come before JL

[@redleader6186]

S M No its because Kevin Fujihira wanted to conpete with Avengers. Zack Snyder had plans for 3 solo Superman movies that would lead to a JL movie. But the studio execs pressured and rushed him to introduce Batman in his 2nd film, and make a JL movie as his 3rd film.

[@T0FFII]

It just logically makes more sense to make these origin movies first (Like Marvel did) before doing the big team up movie. The MCU is killing it and the DCEU isn't.. I'm not suggesting that DC screwed up I'm saying they've definitely screwed up. These two movies if good can set us back on the right path I hope. I love DC, but right now Marvel are so far ahead.

[@greenskull3393]

Cause WB wanted to desperately compete with Marvel that they wanted to get right into their teamup film. Meanwhile Zack Snyder just wanted to go his own pace and take the time to build the DC films but WB wouldn't let him.

[@benjahlokeni5926]

Cause DC wanted to catch up or be like Marvel. So they rush everything that they made and connect them all together but it didn't work. So they have to start a new. That's why the name change from DCEU to World's of DC.

[@thelegend-pd8jy]

10:42 - 11:20 Just look at David's expressions, He was like an embarrassed Dad with three annoyingly talkative Kids

It’s actually captain marvel (his original name before marvel stole it).

I have actually used the term "Crotchal area" before. on multiple occassions.

Where ?

Easter eggs in the kids rooms and all the clothes he wears are Easter eggs

[@NivlekM1]

Where?

[@leoengstam]

This has got to be the funniest interview I've ever seen in my entire life.

[@amycavill2129]

Zachary Levi es un bombón 😋

[@edselcalleja5781]

If this movie gets Zachary star power to rise to a point where he can negotiate a Chuck movie then I would be happy though by that time Chuck would so buff that they would have to have a backstory as how Chuck got that way and why....haha.

[@misspriss2482]

Probably a throwaway line about all of the time he's been spending in the gym. :)

[@ayushbhushan5534]

this dude is ssoooo wholesome and grateful for the movie. we need *more heroes like him*

[@joshualares7110]

He said in an earlier interview "superpower is creativity"😂😂😂😂 . The voice he made killed me.😂

[@RH-lb7rd]

10:50 - 11:10 Pure gold 😂

[@JarrenHunt]

Shazam looks incredible. They seem to have nailed the balance in tone with a great character in this. Shazam might be the hardest to do well so to have nailed it first try by all indications is really impressive. That trailer kind of blew my mind. I totally get what they’re doing now. If the film turns out as good or better than the trailer I’d like to see Sandberg to JL in a few years once the Snyder stuff is no longer canon and they’ve completely soft rebooted/rebranded. That’s been one of DC/Warner’s biggest issues with the only exceptions being auteur films they don’t interfere creatively on ala Jenkins WW and Nolan’s DK trilogy

[@dareann-d-weber-pettis9192]

10:54 the best! Am I right!?! 😊

[@cat_bicycle12]

I love Zachary Levi, the dude seems so genuine. Ever since I watched Chuck, I kept saying he needed to be in more stuff, so happy for him and the two boys working with him.

[@emmacook5658]

I think that Shazam is how Billy imagines his dad.

[@WorthlessDeadEnd]

7:05 - Asher Angel: "Such a kid." Zachary just continues to milk it.
