Zachary Levi is contemporary off the premiere of his superhero sequel Shazam: Fury of the Gods, however earlier than the star was a DC hero, he had a flip in the Marvel franchise, although it didn’t prove to be the position he was anticipating it to be.
In a latest interview on the Happy, Sad, Confused Podcast (through GamesRadar), Levi defined that he was initially solid in the position of Fandral in 2011’s Thor, however couldn’t do it due to scheduling conflicts. Actor Josh Dallas ended up in the half, however didn’t return for the sequel, so Levi took over, however he’s now stated he thinks Marvel boss Kevin Feige offered him the character, saying he was going to be extra distinguished than turned out to be.
“Feige is like, ‘Hey, would Zach want to take this role again?’ And to be honest, look… and I insisted on talking to Kevin about it, for two reasons. One, I saw the first movie, and I didn’t really feel like the Warriors Three were utilized in that great of a way. And I was like, ‘Is that going to be the case again, because if it is, I don’t really want to do that, you know?’ And he’s like, ‘No, no, no, it’s gonna be a huge part of this movie.’ Not so much, as it turned out.”
(*2*)Fandral was additionally one of many casualties of Thor 3 the place he was killed fairly unceremoniously. His remaining line was additionally minimize, Levi revealed throughout a panel on the Heroes and Villains Fan Fest in 2017, per Screen Rant.
“What is on the cutting room floor is me charging at Hela and getting impaled and going ‘For Asgard.’ No s***, I had my last line, my last words in the Marvel Universe were ‘For Asgard.’ Cutting room floor. And when I shot that, it was… yeah, it was a bummer.”
It’s not like Levi ended up in obscurity. He’s achieved fairly nicely for himself, however I’m positive if he might return with hindsight, he’d have chosen his Marvel position extra rigorously. He’s the perfect Shazam! we might ask for although, so all of it labored out in the tip.
