Zachary Levi’s Social Media Scandal Pulls in Chris Pratt

When discussing the superheroes who have received backlash from certain corners of the internet, two names that often come up are Zachary Levi and Chris Pratt. These actors, known for their roles in spandex-clad superhero movies, have managed to ruffle feathers and create divisions among fans.

The controversy surrounding them largely stems from their personal beliefs. Pratt’s strong religious convictions have set him apart, while Levi has been outspoken about his views on vaccination. Even James Gunn, when announcing the lineup for the DCU’s Chapter 1: Gods & Monsters, commented on Levi’s controversies. However, despite their friendship, the disappointing performance of Shazam! Fury of the Gods suggests that not even their bond can guarantee a successful return to the superhero fold.

That's not to say Chris Pratt ISN'T who we thought he is, but to any moot who is following Zachary Levi, I'd advise you to not. And this also ensured I will NEVER watch the Shazam movies, because fuck this guy. https://t.co/WsTfmFLedv

Recently, Pratt and Levi have become entangled in an unwanted battle, as social media reports claimed that the former Billy Batson (Levi) had been endorsing and following accounts that promote anti-LGBTQ+ sentiments. This revelation, particularly during Pride Month, has sparked further controversy and drawn attention to Pratt’s own accusations of being anti-LGBTQ+ due to his association with the Hillsong Church. The fact that Pratt is now being used as a comparison to gauge Levi’s level of unpopularity indicates how much Levi’s actions have upset people.

It is unfortunate to see these actors, who have brought beloved superheroes to life on the big screen, caught in such contentious debates. It serves as a reminder of the challenges that arise when personal beliefs clash with public perceptions.
