Actor Zachary Levi gained popularity among DC fans thanks to his performance as Shazam, in the seventh installment in the DCEU,Shazam!(2019). He then reprised his role for 2023’sShazam! Fury of the Gods. Now, the actor has a strong desire to work with this DC star.
As per the storyline, it would make sense if Levi works with Dwayne Johnson, who played Black Adam, however, Levi wants his character to team up with Green Lantern, who almost appeared inZack Snyder’s Justice League, but was removed at the last minute. Actor Wayne T. Carr was Snyderverse’s Green Lantern, however, that cameo never happened.
