Shazam! – Zachary Levi explains how he almost abandoned the role and situation of Henry Cavill!

Raphael Martins To live the hero of Shazam !, he smiles and empowers everywhere he goes and every new interview to promote the film.

In an interview with Heroic Hollywood, Levi explains his initial reaction to the cast of the role of the movie's hero and how he almost missed out on this opportunity:

"The truth is that I had a meeting scheduled about two months before having this job.My agency sent me a job interview for the role of Shazam in the movie Shazam !. I knew that The Rock [Dwayne Johnson] had been portrayed by Adam Black, so my first reaction was: "Hey, are not they looking for a) big stars, or at least b) someone who's a huge person?" For a beginner in Captain Marvel, whom I do not really knew that very little at that time, I knew enough to know it.

So, I sent them an email saying: "Do not seek they not big stars or big players? "A bit like there was no compromise," we do not have any my not so sure. "Then I said," Well, I think I'll have to go because I think it can be a waste of time. It does not seem like I have a chance to get this test for a completely different role. I did not know exactly what role it was, but it was texts specifically designed for testing. I thought, "Okay, there's a scene where I thought I could probably play that character." I made the recording. This was sent to the creative team. So, I got a call from my guy and he said to me, "Hey, remember that the role you played at Shazam [o teste] two months ago, they think you could be the good actor for that ". I was very happy. But it was also a little confusing. I did a camera test probably five or six days later. And then, the next day, I discovered that David [F. Sandberg, o diretor do filme] had called me.

I was at the gym. I received a call from David who said to me: "You are my Shazam", I became white. It was crazy. It was strangely, or ironically, a reminder of the date when I did a camera test of the role of Star Lord in The Guardians of the Galaxy. I knew that Chris Pratt had also played this role. I wanted it so much. It was really a strange thing about "Wow, when you do not care about something so hard, if it's not something you're ready to die but that you can have a clear and unbiased vision of what you are trying to fetch and know that you are right for you, that you are bringing your essence … In the end, that 's right. I think that made me understand the role. "

At one point in the interview, the subject ended up going forward for Henry Cavill who may or may not be the Superman from the film universe of DC.In this regard, the actor tried to rebadure everyone by baderting that Cavill continued to use the symbol of the hero in his chest:

"Well, he is still Superman . It's not because they're not there that make Superman movies that he's no longer Superman and he does not look like him. That does not mean that no one likes him like Superman, is not it? "
