Actor Zachary Levi says there’s a good reason why Billy Batson appears to be more immature in Shazam! Fury of the Gods.In the superhero sequel, which hit theaters in March, Levi’s Billy Batson — portrayed by Asher Angel when he’s not transformed as Shazam — isn’t quite the same as when fans first met him in 2019. Amid mixed reviews, Shazam! Fury of the Gods had been particularly criticized for its development of Billy since the first time, perceiving the character to be much more immature. Speaking about the criticism with Screen Rant, Levi addressed the change in Billy’s personality, explaining how this was due to the teenager’s mindset as he tried to better adapt to his role as the leader.The DCEU is fizzling out with Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom expected to be the final chapter of the timeline first launched with Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel. Even so, some actors from the DCEU will be reprising their roles as DCU variants. It’s not yet known if Levi’s Shazam will get the opportunity to do so as well, but the actor had made it clear that he’s hoping to continue on in the role. He also told Screen Rant how his big wish is for his superhero to partner up with Nathan Fillion’s Green Lantern, who will make his debut in 2025’s Superman: Legacy. This would allow for Levi to put on a third portrayal while keeping in mind that Billy would then be a young adult.
