Zachary Levi on rumored relationship between Shazam and Wonder Woman
Meanwhile, when confronted with the question of the characters dating, Zachary Levi expressed his views on the matter in an exclusive interview with Dexerto in March 2023.
"I mean, listen, I hope so. She’s wonder-ful. And Gal’s gorgeous and all of these things. But let’s be honest – she’s kind-of an ageless, timeless, goddess. Demi-goddess. And while I have the power of a lot of these gods and Demi-gods, I’m still a teenager."
He continues,
"So that’s not a great look for her, I don’t think. You know what I mean? But I think that they would make great friends. And do fun team-ups and go save the world.”
Billy Baxton, aka Shazam, is known to have a massive crush on Wonder Woman. In the movie, she is seen answering Billy's letter and helping him revive the magic in the Staff of the Gods.
