Shazam! Fury of the Gods star Zachary Levi's stellar career has gone from up and beyond in Disney and DC to awkward, as fans surmised, and the latest flopped project, Harold and the Purple Crayon takes the cake.

Shazam! Star Zachary Levi's Career Questioned By Fans

Ever since Zachary Levi's Shazam! sequel, Fury of the Gods, tanked at the box office, and things went downhill from then on. The failure of his DC sequel crumbled his dreams from one flick to another.

After landing his fame in roles such as Disney's Flynn Rider from Tangled and his Tony Award nomination for his Broadway performance in She Loves Me, his latest theatrical release, Harold and the Purple Crayon, comes flat.

The project sees the grown-up Harold (played by Zachary Levi) using his purple crayon to make anything he wishes come to life.

However, the premise is prominently not as appealing as his previous movies, causing fans to grow concerned over the actor's career.

Apart from the storyline of Harold and the Purple Crayon, its box office weekend opened with a mere $6M domestically (out of a $40M budget), grossing lower than Inside Out 2's 8th box office weekend.

Levi's poor choice of films may have been one of the main factors in the current status of his career, according to fans.

However, his questionable social media posts, such as supporting anti-vaccination, have also been deemed inappropriate, especially if he's aiming to propel his Hollywood image.

Alongside the release of Harold and the Purple Crayon, Levi had been promoting his upcoming Amazon MGM theatrical drama, Sarah's Oil, which had just wrapped up this August.

While he headlines the film opposite of The Equalizer's Naya Desir-Johnson, fans on X/Twitter couldn't help but chime in unison, "We have never witnessed a downfall this bad," in which Levi's promising career as Chuck had fallen into the abyss somehow due to his dubious on-screen parts.
