Zachary Levi Says He Really Wanted to Play Gambit

It’s clear that actor Zachary Levi has found the superhero role that’s perfect for him with Shazam!, but he used to have a certain Marvel character in mind as the one he was hoping to play the most. Back at the Atlanta convention Dragon Con 2021, Levi was speaking about his career when he was asked about other superheroes he’d like to play on the big screen.
