Shazam! wrath of the gods hit theaters last week and was greeted with a loud “meh, okay” from viewers and critics alike. And now its main star and Admirers of Jordan PetersonZachary Levi, is out here on Twitter asking Neil Druckmann to cast him for the next season of the hit HBO Max series. The last of us.
Before I say anything else, I liked those First Shazam Movie a lot! It was a fun, lighthearted superhero action movie with some great performances and cool moments. But everything I’ve heard about the recently released sequel left me less than thrilled. The film currently has one 53% on Rotten Tomatoes and had one of the worst opening weekends for a modern DC film. And it’s likely only going to get worse as its reputation as a flop grows over the next few weeks. So maybe feel a sinking ship (that could cost him his future in the larger DC movie universe) Shazam Star Levi has taken to Twitter to fish for a new gig.
late last night Levi posted on his personal Twitter account that he was a big fan of The Last of Us TV show and the PlayStation game it was based on. He even hinted that he loved Naughty Dogs 2020 The Last of Us Part II even more. Levi’s tweet also stated that he would be “thrilled” if he could appear on the show, likely in the upcoming second season. He ended the tweet by tagging the show’s co-creator and creative director behind both The last of us games, Neil Druckmann.
And as far as I can tell, Druckmann hasn’t responded to Levi’s tweet as of this writing. Or did you like it. And Levi might just have deleted it? So… not great! But hey, it’s not that long ago. Maybe Druckmann or someone at HBO will see Max Levi’s attempt to fancast himself in a more successful project and feel sorry for the actor. Maybe he can be a clicker or a random angry person who kills people. Many of them in this wonderfully evil last of us Universe.

Or maybe he can play a once-famous rich man who is questioning science and any attempt to create a vaccine to save the world from a deadly pandemic that is killing millions. He actually has experience in this role!
Strangely, he seems to have already deleted the original tweet. However, it’s hard to tell these days as Twitter is mostly broken and a disappearing tweet could mean it’s been deleted or Elon Musk has fired more people.
