When you are a personality, you have to be careful about what you do on social networks. His activity on Twitter is scrutinized and certain subscriptions can harm you. This is what Zachary Levi has just experienced, the actor who plays Shazam and who created controversy on the platform.
A subscription that does not pass among the fans
At DC, we chain the scandals! We will not return to the Ezra Miller file because today we are going to be interested in another actor who is none other than Zachary Levi the star of Shazam.
While Shazam! The Rage of the Gods was not a box office success and was critically disappointing despite the presence of Helen Mirren, Lucy Liu, Rachel Zegler, Meagan Good and Djimon Hounsou, the main actor just angered netizens on Twitter.
Indeed, the controversy began when a Twitter user posted account screenshots Gays Against Groomers on which we can see that the Shazam actor is one of the subscribers.
This account is a far-right group that is anti-LGBTQ+. The organization is known in particular for fighting against LGBTQ + education in schools or for the care given to minors who take their gender into account. Many times, Gays Against Groomers has been banned from various social networks due to hate speech. Zachary Levi quickly found himself under fire from critics.
Repeated controversies on Twitter
This is not the first time that the actor has found himself in such a controversy on social networks. Shortly before the release of Shazam 2in January, he had tweeted remarks against the Pfizer laboratory claiming that the company was “a real danger to the world“ without specifying whether it was a criticism related to the Covid-19 vaccine developed by the company. A little later he had mocked on Instagram for efforts undertaken by Britney Spears to try to end her conservatorship. Finally, a few days after the release of The Rage of the Gods and in the face of negative reactions, the actor had slammed fans, calling them “toxic” and to be negative for the sole purpose of being so.
In short, there is a lot of controversy for the same personality. After the difficulties encountered at the box office for the sequel to Shazam and these repeated controversies on Twitter, we can ask ourselves the question of his future at DC. Especially since Zachary Levi recently explained that he still hasn’t met James Gunn and Peter Safran, the co-heads of DC Studios to discuss the studio’s future plans…
