SHAZAM! Star Zachary Levi Asks Fans To Stop Pitting The Movie Against CAPTAIN MARVEL SHAZAM! Star Zachary Levi Asks Fans To Stop Pitting The Movie Against CAPTAIN MARVEL

As you're no doubt well aware, Captain Marvel is being targeted online by trolls, and now Shazam! star Zachary Levi has asked fans to stop taking aim at the movie and to quit pitting it against his...

Since Captain Marvel star Brie Larson said that she would like to make the movie's press tour more inclusive, the Oscar winner has been bombarded by threats, abuse, and a campaign to tank the movie's Audience Score on Rotten Tomatoes.

Bizarrely, some fans have even tried to pit Captain Marvel against Shazam! due to the fact they've both held the "Captain Marvel" moniker, and it appears as if Zachary Levi has had quite enough of it. During a recent Q&A on social media, the actor condemned the "inflammatory, defamatory and completely fictitious" posts which have been doing the rounds.

Adding that they're "not helping anyone or anything," he noted that there's no competition between the movies and that "anyone out there who’s holding onto some bone like they need to pick a side and pick a fight is sorely mistaken."


In fairness, it doesn't appear to be DC fanboys who are responsible for this negativity; instead, it's mostly men who believe Larson is a sexist/racist and doesn't want them to see the movie! 

Check out Levi's comments for yourselves below.

@Gjedi - Some of the stuff I've been reading online is downright gross, but I knew this shit was gonna happen. It happened to an extent with Wonder Woman and Black Panther, but it's gone nuclear since The Last Jedi.

Classy move from Levi here. But we all know the fabricated hate train isn't going to do anything. The ones against Captain Marvel will go see it in theatres, obviously so they can hate on it more having seen it, proceed to label it overrated and feminist propaganda, but they'll be giving the film money anyway.

Would be nice if Larson and Levi could do some joint marketing stuff but there's no contract like that between the two studios so it's never happening.

@DnA -

Case in point.

And the comments section on that video is FAR more disturbing. It's like they are working themselves up to go into theaters with suicide vests...

I haven’t seen that much Captain Marvel vs Shazam action going on here, tbh. The trolls are more invested in attacking Brie Larson.

The sexist manbabies feel somehow vindicated after ghostbusters flopping and tlj box office drop and bad legs.

Cant wait for the final cm box office to realize how powerless they are.

The fact that there are such people in this site who constantly pull the victim card and post cm audience score like it means something when its so rigged and take joy in it is the most disturbing news...

We all know Captain Marvel's Audience Score has been tampered with it is now inconsequential and we will all move on.

Also the campaign of hate against Captain Marvel will be unsuccessful just as it was for Black Panther which was wildly successful in every metric possible.

@TheOscarPanther - Audience scores have been tampered with for years, why are they just now inconsequential?

If your main objective is to fight an imaginary internet war about comic book characters then you need to look in the mirror and rethink some things...

Everyone with a functional brain knows there's no real competition here. Both will be great and successful. Of course no one working on a cbm would want other cbms to flop, because that can only mean bad things for the genre as a whole. The Captain Marvel trolls in particular are trying way too hard. They're going to be so let down when it turns out a hit.
