Zachary Levi is promising fans that plans for Shazam 2 are still on track, despite Hollywood shutdowns due to coronavirus.

The 39-year-old actor, who plays the titular character in the film, spoke to ET about what’s happening with the movie.

“Right now, they’re writing an amazing script,” Zach shared. “I don’t have any real details on that. I’ve got some generals and they all sound amazing.”

He also acknowledged that whenever the movie is back on track and starts shooting, it will be a new normal for the industry and come with new rules.

“There’s definitely going to be some major protocols that are put in place,” he added. “What those protocols are, I’m not sure yet. I’m doing my own due diligence as an actor waiting to go back to work, but also as a producer and someone who’s trying to create my own world out here in which to produce. I’ve been actively trying to figure out when the gears can start moving a bit again, but I don’t know for sure.”

Shazam 2 got a new release date in December, just months before Hollywood, and many other things, shut down because of the pandemic.

As of right now, Shazam 2 is set to release in November 2022.

More Chuck might be in the future!

Earlier this week, the stars and co-creators Josh Schwartz and Chris Fedak of the hit series reunited on Zoom for table read of episode “Chuck vs. the Beard” from season three.

Cast members on the call included Zachary Levi (Chuck Bartowski), Yvonne Strahovski (Sarah Walker), Adam Baldwin (Colonel John Casey), Joshua Gomez (Morgan Grimes), Sarah Lancaster (Ellie Bartowski), Ryan McPartlin (Captain Awesome), Vik Sahay (Lester Patel), Scott Krinsky (Jeff Barnes), Mark Christopher Lawrence (Big Mike), Brandon Routh (Daniel Shaw), and guest-stars Cedric Yarbrough and Diedrich Bader.

After the virtual reunion, the co-creators were asked if they would ever consider doing a movie or some sort of revival – and they said it’s definitely a possibility!

“I would say within the first 10 seconds of the table read, everybody fell so effortlessly back into their parts and the chemistry was still there, and it was just such a joy to watch that we both hung up from the table [and] were like, ‘Damn, it feels like we could more of this,’” Josh shared with EW. “I think it would really be about, what’s the story and what’s the demand? I think we’re really proud of the legacy of the show and the series it felt, so anything that you do after the fact you want to make sure it feels like it would live up to the original.”

Chuck ran for five seasons from 2007 to 2012.

Cole Sprouse and Zachary Levi are about to be in a wedding cover band together.

Deadline reports that the two actors will star in movie musical, Undercover.

The movie centers on Jack (Levi), a down-on-his-luck rocker-turned-father, who, to make ends meet, secretly joins a group of young musicians in a wedding cover band led by misfit Ben (Sprouse).

Things start looking up for this ragtag band, but when Jack’s secret gets revealed, he rediscovers what’s truly important in life while teaching Ben to find his own voice as a musical talent.

Steve Pink will direct the film, with production starting in April.

Do you remember that Cole played another character named Ben? It was in this popular television show!

Zachary Levi is taking on a new role.

The Shazam! star will join co-stars Benedict Cumberbatch, Jodie Foster, Tahar Rahim and Shailene Woodley in the upcoming drama Prisoner 760, a true-life legal drama, THR reported on Friday (December 27).

The Kevin Macdonald-directed movie is being shot in South Africa, and is described as “a fight for survival against impossible odds, 760 tells the true tale of Mohamedou Ould Slahi, a man who was captured by the U.S. government and held for years without charge or trial. Slahi finds unlikely allies in defense attorneys Nancy Hollander and her associate Teri Duncan, being played by Foster and Woodley, respectively, who desperately pursue justice. They are aided by a military prosecutor named Lt. Stuart Couch (Cumberbatch).”

Zachary will play “an old friend of the prosecutor’s, a federal agent by the name of Neil Buckland.”
