Zachary Levi, known for his role in “Shazam: Fury of the Gods,” recently shared his thoughts on the current quality of Hollywood films during an appearance at Fan Expo Chicago. The 42-year-old actor criticized the amount of content that he believes is of poor quality, stating that Hollywood doesn’t put enough effort into making great movies for audiences.
Levi expressed frustration with the phenomenon of trailers generating excitement for movies that ultimately disappoint viewers. He pointed out that many times, audiences watch a captivating trailer and look forward to seeing the film, only to be disappointed by what they actually get. He mentioned that studios are aware that once people have purchased tickets and are seated in the theater, they’ve already secured the audience’s money.
Levi called for a change in this pattern and encouraged audiences to be more selective in their choices. He urged people to actively avoid supporting movies that they consider to be of low quality or “garbage.” By doing so, he believes that audiences can have a significant impact on the industry and promote the creation of higher-quality content.
Levi’s comments come amid a few other controversies, including his remarks about the actor’s strike rules and his interactions with other industry figures like Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson. Regarding the SAG-AFTRA strike, Levi initially made comments at a convention but later clarified his support for both the strike and the fans who appreciate his work. As for the Shazam! sequel, he addressed misunderstandings related to his social media posts, emphasizing that he hasn’t blamed anyone for the performance of the movie.
