Earlier this year,
Shazam star Zachary Levi became a bit miffed when leaked set photos revealed that his superhero costume had padding. Levi inexplicably tried to argue that the muscular contours of his
Shazam costume were all natural but the first trailer for the film is a dead giveaway.
Still, Levi's physical transformation is still remarkable and something to applaud. Over on Twitter, the 6' 3" American actor revealed that he 'bulked' from 200 to 224 lbs to pack on size and then 'cut' down to 212 lbs to achieve definition for filming.
Levi was cast in late-October 2017 and cameras began rolling in late-January, giving the former
Chuck and
Thor actor roughly 3 months to hit the gym.
Shazam! is set to hit theaters on April 4th, 2019.
