“I’m not going to take up too much time, but I just want to give you a little context as to why Shazam is sitting here talking to you about these different things,” Levi said, according to Entertainment Weekly, referring to his infamous superhero character in the Michigan Rally. “I grew up in a Christian conservative family; That was pretty much the trail we were on. “My parents were Kennedy Democrats who turned into Reagan Republicans,” he added. “They taught me to have a healthy level of distrust of the government and a healthy level of distrust of the industry run amok.”

Levi explains why he supports Trump and not Harris

Zachary Levi, who has always been a big fan of RFK Jr., spoke about his experience searching for a political figure who truly understands him. He said: “For a while I thought, ‘I really want to find a politician who will stand for everything I believe in.'”

The Sazam star also expressed his admiration for Bobby Kennedy and called him “the real deal”. But Levi admitted that even though he would happily vote for RFK Jr. if things were perfect, he decided to support Trump instead.

Zachary Levi expressed concern about the state of the country, stating, “We don’t live in a perfect world…we live in a very broken world.” He stressed the need to restore the nation to its former glory, citing Trump’s Make America Great Again Agenda. Levi explained that among the limited options, he believes Donald Trump is the candidate capable of achieving these goals, highlighting Trump’s potential support from figures such as Robert Kennedy Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard.

“Wow, I didn’t expect that,” one user posted on X. “I thought I wasn’t interested in celebrity endorsements,” wrote another. “‘Superstar’ is doing some heavy lifting here mate,” a third added. “I always felt like it was based. A Christian man was not satisfied with the vaccination mandate. I wonder how Hollywood will treat him now,” chimed in another. “Fine, but I think Zachary Levi’s role in SHAZAM 3 just got canceled.”

Zachary Levi’s controversial stance

Levi’s endorsement comes at a time when major Hollywood stars and musicians, including George Clooney, Taylor Swift, Ariana Grande, Katy Perry, Oprah Winfrey, Matt Damon and many others, are publicly supporting Vice President Kamala Harris in the November 2024 election.

Lately, Zachary Levi has been facing backlash for expressing some pretty bold opinions. This also includes his initial criticism of the SAG-AFTRA strike, which he ultimately withdrew. He previously caused quite a stir by saying he agreed with a tweet that mocked the safety of the Pfizer COVID-19 vaccine. This public stance prompted DC Films executives James Gunn and Peter Safran to address the issue and future of Levi’s in the DC Universe during a press event in January 2023.

Levi played the superhero Shazam in two DC films in 2019 and 2023. He also appeared on the TV show Chuck and provided the voice of Flynn Rider in the Disney film Tangled.
