The newest superhero in DC Comics’ movie roster, “Shazam!” star Zachary Levi, is coming to FanX Salt Lake Comic Convention. So will his teen alter ego, Asher Angel.
Convention organizers announced Friday that Levi will appear at the event, set for April 19-20 at the Salt Palace Convention Center. Asher was added to the list Tuesday.
In “Shazam!”, which opens nationwide on Friday, April 5, Levi plays the superpowered alter ego of 14-year-old Billy Batson (Angel), who must navigate his newfound powers and the responsibility that comes with them.
Levi, 38, has appeared previously at FanX, formerly called Salt Lake Comic Con, as he represents several fandoms through his other roles.
Disney fans know him as the voice of Flynn Ryder, aka Eugene, in the Rapunzel tale “Tangled” (2010). He starred in the spy series “Chuck” from 2007 to 2012, and played Fandral, one of Thor’s Asgardian sidekicks, in “Thor: The Dark World” (2013) and “Thor: Ragnarok” (2017).
More recently, Levi provided the voice of Joseph in the animated Nativity story “The Star” (2017), and had a recurring role on the Amazon comedy “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.”
Angel, 16, also co-stars in the made-in-Utah Disney Channel sitcom “Andi Mack.”
