‘Shazam!’ star Zachary Levi backs Trump for US president: ‘We are going to make it great again’

Levi said he originally backed RFK Jr. but when the former presidential candidate suspended his campaign, he switched his support to Trump. He said, "In a perfect world, in whatever that would look like, perhaps I would have voted for Bobby. But we don't live in a perfect world. In fact, we live in a very broken one. We live in a country that has been hijacked by a lot of people who want to take this place way off the cliff, and we're here to stop that."

Levi noted that his Christian conservative family taught him to "have a healthy level of distrust of the government."

He added, "We are going to take back this country. We are going to make it great again, we're going to make it healthy again. And so I stand with Bobby and I stand with Tulsi and I stand with everyone else who is standing with President Trump. Because I do believe that of the two choices that we have, and we only have two, President Trump is the man that can get us there."

Levi acknowledged that the move could end his career, saying, “Within my industry as you can probably imagine, Hollywood is a very, very liberal town and this very well could constitute career suicide, so I’m glad I did it with you guys.”

Levi starred as superhero Shazam in the 2019 and 2023 DC movies. His credits also include the TV series "Chuck" and the Disney movie "Tangled."
