Shazam 2 Star Begs For The Last Of Us Part After Box Office Flop

Shazam! Fury of the Gods released last week and it was a flop, all while earning poor scores from critics and audiences alike. So, lead star Zachary Levi has taken to Twitter to beg for a role in The Last of Us' second season.

"I absolutely LOVE 'The Last of Us'!", Levi posted in a now deleted tweet (thanks, Kotaku). "I've loved it since I played the first Game. Then the sequel was, dare I say, even better! I would be so stoked to be in the series! What say you, @Neil_Druckmann??"

Druckmann didn't interact with the tweet before Levi deleted it, not leaving a like, comment, or retweet, so it's unclear if he saw it. But maybe someone did - who knows, maybe Levi could end up playing a clicker.

It's not the only show Levi is interested in joining. Yesterday, he also replied to a tweet asking, "Long shot of you reading this. Do you like Star Trek at all?" Levi answered, "Lovvve me some Trek. always wanted to be a part of that universe too!"

Not long after, he jumped to another 'Star' property with Star Wars, after another fan tweeted, "Can you convince Lucasfilm that Dash Rendar is actually cool and you should play him?" Levi replied, "My hand to Obi-Wan, I've always wanted to play this role since I played 'Shadows of the Empire' on N64!"

Since Shazam's future in the DCU is unclear, what with James Gunn's reboot plans, director David F. Sandberg's announcement that he's returning to horror (and that he's done with superheroes), and the critical reception as well as box office performance, it's likely that Levi won't be playing the kid-turned-hero much longer.

Especially given that Black Adam (Shazam's signature villain) is embroiled in countless controversies of its own. So, it makes sense that Levi is looking at what's next, and if his luck pans out, maybe he'll play a bloodthirsty killer in The Last of Us who doesn't believe in vaccines, or an angry villain in Star Trek who doesn't believe in medical Science. He'd be perfect for the role.

Archaeologists have been able to look back at life nearly 400 years ago after a treasure hunter fulfilled his lifelong goal of discovering the remains of a 17th-century ship known as “the Shipwreck of the Century” worth 300 million pounds

ARCHAEOLOGISTS were able to take a peek into life almost 400 years ago after a treasure hunter fulfilled his lifelong goal of uncovering the remains of a 17th-century vessel dubbed the “shipwreck of the century”. The heavily-armed galleon Nuestra Senora de Atocha served as the rear guard of the 20-strong Spanish fleet that left Havana, Cuba, in early September 1622, destined for Spain. In addition to 265 people, the ship was carrying as much as 40 tonnes of silver, gold and around 70 pounds of Colombian emeralds, some of the finest and most expensive in the world. After a hurricane struck on September 5, 1622, eight ships sank – including the Atocha – littering the ocean floor from the Marquesas Keys to the Dry Tortugas, between 30 and 70 miles to the west of Key West, Florida. As the Atocha went down into the water at a depth of 55 feet, rescuers tried to get into the drowned hull but found the hatches were tightly battened. The site of the wreck was marked, but a second hur...

Elon Musk Meets With Donald Trump as Former President Seeks 2024 Campaign Funding

Donald Trump and billionaire Elon Musk met on Sunday as the Republican presidential frontrunner is seeking to woo donors to fund his cash-strapped political operation, according to people familiar with the matter. The New York Times reported earlier on the meeting. Musk was part of a group of prospective donors who met with the former president, the newspaper reported, adding that it is unclear if the Tesla Inc. chief executive officer has decided to contribute to Trump’s campaign. Musk did not immediately respond to a request for comment. Musk is the world’s third richest man but has not been a major political donor, especially considering the size of his fortune, estimated at $192 billion, according to the Bloomberg Billionaires Index. Musk has donated less than $1 million since 2009, Federal Election Commission records show.
