While the first Shazam The film proved to be a success, and the failure of the sequel marked the beginning of the end of the career of lead star Zachary Levi. He apparently came out as anti-vaxxer at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, and according to one of his colleagues, those beliefs have recently caused him to sink to a whole new low. Levy and Laura Benanti starred in the Broadway play She loves meand recently criticized him for insinuating that co-star Gavin Creel’s cancer death was actually caused by him getting the vaccine.

Costar Zachary Levi has a blast

Creel was diagnosed in July and died on September 30, and Zachary Levi later hosted a pro-Trump live broadcast on Instagram. During this, he brought up Creel’s death, bizarrely saying “If these coronavirus vaccines hadn’t been forced upon the American public, theaters wouldn’t have been squeezed and taken advantage of,” before pausing and then blaming “the people at the top.” To most people it seemed like he was implying that Krell’s cancer was due to the vaccination, which angered star Laura Benanti: “For… [Levi] To use [Creel’s] Memory – someone who was not friends “For using his memory for his political agenda… I thought, ‘Fuck you forever,’” she said.

Interestingly, Benanti disagrees with those who believe this conservative virtue signaling is “career suicide” simply “because Christian and religious TV and movies are huge.” She thinks Zachary Levi “He’s going to be a huge star in this business” and “make more money than he’s ever made,” a prospect that makes her “sick to my stomach.” Only time will tell how much Levy’s increasingly vocal politics will help his career, but blaming the coronavirus vaccine for an actor’s cancer death is a new low for a star who, frankly, I didn’t think he could reach lower than. That much.

The Rise and Fall of Zachary Levi

The breakout role of this DC star was in the TV show ChuckHe also voiced Flynn Rider in the hit film Disney film tangled. All of this led to his being chosen as the title character Shazam!After this film grossed $367.8 million against a budget ranging between $90 and $100 million, it seemed like he was on the verge of becoming a Hollywood star. but, Shazam 2 It was a major flop, earning only $134.1 million against a budget of $110-125 million, and the star’s reaction to the film’s failure revealed a completely sad and desperate side to his character that would have otherwise remained hidden.

after Shazam 2 After the bombing, Zachary Levi posted a series of collapse videos on Instagram As he appeared to hold back tears and blamed Dwayne Johnson for killing the post-credits cameo that linked the superhero sequel to… Black Adam. These grievances are particularly odd because even though Johnson’s cocky decision seems so trivial, there’s no way in the world that adding a tepid post-credits sequence with relatively nameless characters like Hawkman and Cyclone could turn Shazam 2 In monster strike. It was even sadder to see Levi end one of his videos with a plea to fans to consider watching the sequel instead John Wick 4.

Zachary Levi’s first big film then Shazam 2 He was Harold and the Purple PenIt also bombed, earning only $32 million against a $40 million budget. This second big-budget flop appears to have spelled the end of the actor’s chance at becoming a big movie star, and many have speculated whether the star’s downfall began with his early 2023 post on X where he agreed with a user that coronavirus vaccine manufacturer Pfizer “She is a real danger to the world,” about two months ago Shazam 2 It was shown for the first time. By implying that star Gavin Creel somehow developed cancer as a result of being vaccinated, the star proves that he has learned nothing from his past failures.

Tragically perfect casting

Once upon a time, I would have felt some degree of sympathy for Zachary Levi. After all, who wouldn’t be sad to have their most ambitious career dreams snatched out from under them? That changed last year when the star appeared on Storytelling with Andrew Irwin podcast He admitted that he hated delaying projects due to the coronavirus because “when the pandemic came, I had no money and no income” and had to rely on friends because money was “very tight.”

Somehow, I can’t help but think that if I receive millions of dollars for lucrative acting jobs and licensing deals, I won’t suddenly be broke if my income stream is temporarily delayed due to producers trying to save lives. And even if I were broke, I wouldn’t channel it all into the politics of resentment that has me politicizing my friend’s tragic death in an apparent attempt to win over people who think vaccination causes cancer.

However, due to his antics, I have to admit that Zachary Levi played the role of Shazam perfectly. After all, who else in Hollywood could perfectly embody what it means to have a child’s mind in an adult’s body?
