Zachary Levi and Jack Dylan Grazer in"Shazam!" By David Betancourt David Betancourt Reporter focusing on comic book culture Email Bio Follow April 5 at 6:00 AM How do you make a cinematic superhero universe fun again?

In theaters Friday and directed by David Sandberg, “Shazam!” is Warner Bros. and DC’s answer to the question: “Why so serious?” With Angel on board, the bonding with Levi began. Levi says the two worked on “getting a vibe for each other,” since they were portraying different versions of the same person, and that they trusted Sandberg to patch their performances together to make the transformations seamless. As for the constant excitement on Levi’s face? It was genuine, he says, and not an effort to appear youthful on the inside.

Levi is aware that he’s now the only live-action cinematic DC superhero with a cape, with no Superman movies in production and Matt Reeve’s “The Batman” not arriving until 2021.
