&#8216;Shazam&#8217; Zachary Levi Has An Interesting Reason For Why Disney Should Cast Him as Flynn for Rapunzel Movie, And it Involves Florence Pugh

The news of a live-action adaptation of the Disney movie Tangled has been doing
the rounds since 2022. But with no confirmation from the makers’ end, leading to
an assumption that the project is scrapped. However, the recent swirl of rumors
sparked hope among fairy tale enthusiasts once again, giving rise to various fan
theories and speculations. One such speculation is that Florence Pugh will play
the titular character in the classic. 

This rumor invited an interesting reaction from Zachary Levi, who voice-acted
for the role of Flynn Rider in the 2010 animated feature film. The Shazam actor
is himself rumored to reprise his role in the upcoming live-action flick and has
an interesting reason to play this part!


SHAZAM ACTOR HAS AN INTERESTING REASON TO PAIR UP WITH FLORENCE PUGH IN TANGLED

The 42-year-old actor expressed his desire to be a part of the rumored
live-action adaptation when speaking at the 2023 Fan Expo in Chicago. He
addressed the rumor of Florence Pugh

being a part of the franchise, which has further sparked excitement in his
heart. He said, “And If Florence plays Rapunzel, what about me?” However, this
excitement had nothing to do with the Little Women actress’ charm, but with the
same surname they share.

Levi wants to play Flynn Rider in the latest adaptation alongside the
27-year-old actress because they share the same last name. Since Levi’s real
last name is Pugh, he thinks that would give the movie a cool spin as fans will
“have [makes pew-pew noise] in Tangled”.

Only time will tell if fans can actually get to see this “pew-pew” magic
considering the hurdles of SAG-AFTRA strikes. However, is the live-adaptation
actually coming in? 


IS THE LIVE-ACTION ADAPTATION OF TANGLED REALLY HAPPENING?

Although fans are waiting with bated eyes for a live-action adaptation of this
Oscar-nominated movie, it is a moonshot. Even if the strikes wrap up by next
year, all that exists are just rumors and speculations, which are enough to
serve some hope to the fans ahead of the ongoing double strike in Hollywood.

So far, Pugh is the only actor likely to star in the rumored project. However,
there hasn’t been any confirmation yet. Levi and Pugh’s pair could be a good
choice owing to how well their appearances will fit in with the characters. And
also, because of the unusual reason laid out by the former Flynn Rider in his
recent interview. Well, owing to the popular disapproval of the Shazam actor
starring in the adaptation, he might actually find himself getting pew-pewed by
the fans.
