Zachary Levi as Shazam posing in 2019's Shazam!
The Big Picture After appearing in what seems to be his final DC movie in 2023's Shazam: Fury of the Gods, Zachary Levi has signed on for another project. A new report from Variety revealed that Levi will play the lead role in Free Fall, a rock-climbing action thriller. Distinguished stuntwoman and coordinator Zoë Bell, who previously worked with Quentin Tarantino on Django Unchained, Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, Inglourious Basterds, and more will make her directorial debut.
The report also says that Sean Finegan and Gregg Maxwell will write the script. The film is set to follow a father who tries to mend his relationship with his estranged daughter by bringing her on a rock-climbing trip which takes an abrupt left turn, leaving them stranded in grave danger. Levi is set to executive produce the movie for XYZ Films, along with both writers Finegan and Maxwell, as well as Tom Hern and Nua Finau of Tavake.
What Else Is Coming Up for Zachary Levi? Levi currently has several upcoming projects in the works, including a live-action adaption of Crockett Johnson's 1955 children's book, Harold and the Purple Crayon. Levi is also confirmed to be involved in Guy Moshe's action-thriller, Hotel Tehran, and Not Without Hope.
Levi faced some backlash last year for saying the rules of the 2023 WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes that prevented him from discussing his previous work were "so dumb." He later stated that this quote was taken out of context and that he fully supported the strike, saying "Let me be very clear. I fully support my union, the WGA, and the strike. The strike is necessary to protect ourselves, our writers, and all those working in production who make the industry move.
The report does not mention a release date for Free Fall but claims that production on the film is set to begin later this year in New Zealand. Stay tuned at Collider for further updates.
