Shazam! Fury of the Gods was launched in theaters final week to a powerful “meh, okay” from audiences and critics alike. And now its primary star and Jordan Peterson admirer, Zachary Levi, is out right here on Twitter asking Neil Druckmann to solid him within the subsequent season of the favored HBO Max sequence, The Final of Us.
Earlier than saying anything, I preferred the first Shazam movie rather a lot! It was a enjoyable, light-hearted superhero motion movie with some nice performances and funky moments. However all the pieces I’ve heard about its not too long ago launched sequel has me much less enthused. The movie at present has a 53% on Rotten Tomatoes and had one of many worst opening weekends for a contemporary DC movie. And it’s prone to solely worsen as its fame as a flop grows over the subsequent few weeks. So, maybe sensing a sinking ship (that may value him his future within the bigger DC movie universe) Shazam star Levi has taken to Twitter to angle for a brand new gig.
Late final evening, Levi posted on his private Twitter account that he was a giant fan of the Final of Us TV present and the PlayStation sport it was based mostly on. He even recommended that he cherished Naughty Canine’s 2020 The Final of Us Half II much more. Levi’s tweet additionally defined that he can be “stoked” if he might seem within the sequence, probably in its upcoming second season. To conclude the tweet he tagged the present’s co-creator and the inventive director behind each The Final of Us video games, Neil Druckmann.
And so far as I can inform, as of this writing, Druckmann hasn’t responded to Levi’s tweet. Or preferred it. And Levi might have simply deleted it? So…not nice! However hey, it hasn’t been that lengthy. Maybe Druckmann or somebody at HBO Max will see Levi’s try and fancast himself in a extra profitable mission and take pity on the actor. Perhaps he generally is a clicker or a random offended one that kills folks. Loads of these in that splendidly depraved Final of Us universe.
G/O Media might get a fee
Or perhaps he can play a once-famous wealthy one that questions science and any try at making a vaccine to assist save the world from a lethal pandemic killing thousands and thousands. He really has expertise with that function!
Funnily sufficient, it looks like he might need deleted the unique tweet already. Although, it’s arduous to inform as of late as a result of Twitter is usually damaged and a tweet disappearing might imply it was deleted or Elon Musk fired extra folks.
