Shazam! Star Glad Marvel Killed Off His Thor Character
Before he played the title role in DC's Shazam!, actor Zachary Levi was Fandral in both Marvel's Thor: The Dark World and (oh so briefly) Thor: Ragnarok.
Levi had replaced Josh Dallas, who played Fandral, one of the Warriors Three, in the first Thor movie. But from what Levi told the press on the set of Shazam! last year, Fandral getting (quickly) killed off in Thor: Ragnarok was a blessing. Indeed, Levi appeared thankful to no longer be tied to the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
“When I got cast as Fandral in
, though I wasn’t able to do it, I knew that the Warriors Three could be really fun characters if they ever developed them,” Levi said. “They just didn’t. They didn’t.”

How Shazam! Fits Into the DCEU
If you want to know how Shazam! fits into the world of the Justice League, then you should probably ask Freddy.
Jack Dylan Grazer of It fame plays the foster brother to Asher Angel’s Billy Batson, the kid who says the word “Shazam” and transforms into the fully grown adult hero played by Zachary Levi. In this story, developed by Lights Out director David S. Sandberg, Freddy is the go-to expert for all things superheroes — and not just in comics. So he knows what he’s talking about.
As Levi explained to press visiting the Toronto set of Shazam! back in April, “The bulk of essentially, I think since the Man of Steel, all of that has really happened in our world.” So while Superman was battling Zod and then Batman and then Doomsday and then death and then Steppenwolf, Billy Batson was being tossed around the foster care system.
