Zachary Levi just revealed to his fans a buff look following his latest workout for his role in “Shazam.” Levin posted the workout picture after some fans and outlets were critical of his costume which showed some definite padding. In March, raw photos and videos from the set of the upcoming Warner Bros.’ superhero flick arrived online offering fans their first look at the titular character’s ensemble.

With his latest social media posting, Levin clearly has shown to fans that there is no doubt that he has been working hard to get into fighting shape for the part. You can see that shot below. An official photo from “Shazam” but speculation suggests that it will come with the Warner Bros. Pictures Comic-Con panel in July. The film itself is currently slated to open in theaters in April.

Earlier this month he had some strong words for those who have already passed judgement on the ensemble without even seeing it properly via an official look. The actor then defended the costume by saying that he personally liked it and asked everyone to reserve their opinions until Warner Bros. rolls out the much-anticipated first public relations photos for the characters.

Levi’s friend Eric Blackmon has been his consistent work out buddy and personal photographer throughout production on “Shazam!” and by all visible accounts, he has been a great wingman. The only left to do, at this point, is have DC Films release the official first photo of Levi in the Shazam costume, in order to turn fan attention toward a more positive take on the character and film.

Here are some reactions on social media to Levi’s physical transformation for “Shazam!”.

Shazam is a superhero in the DC Comics Universe and the protector of Fawcett City. In his secret identity, he is William Joseph “Billy” Batson, a young boy who was chosen to be a champion of good by the wizard Shazam. Whenever Billy speaks the wizard’s name, he is struck by a magic thunderbolt that transforms him into an adult superhero empowered with the abilities of six legendary figures.
