zachary levi He said something that Twitter is taking as an anti-vaccine stance, which could spell trouble for Warner Bros. Discovery… because it has a blockbuster movie to promote.
The actor, who plays the title role in “Shazam!” franchise, responded to a question posed in the bird app by lyndon wood, who asked… “Do you agree or disagree that Pfizer is a real danger to the world?” ZL’s response left no doubt as to how he feels, “Hardcore agrees.”
Hard agree. 😐 https://t.co/goeEf5UQ5s

There’s not much context beyond that, and immediately… Twitter users started bashing the guy, labeling him a right-winger spouting anti-vaccine rhetoric. This also caused people to search for old videos of Zach that they considered problematic, including a joe rogan interview he did a few years ago, where they talked about Elliott’s Page Y jordan peterson.
Of course, the jokes also started to fly regarding WBD and how the execs might be reacting to this news…at first glance, it seems like a PR nightmare, especially with “Shazam! Fury of the Gods” on the horizon and a press tour. it will certainly come with it.
Well, Zach caught wind of all the fuss and tried to clarify… by tweeting a link to a 2009 DOJ press release about a fraud case Pfizer was involved in at the time, when they agreed to pay a settlement. $2.3 billion. He says that this is what he meant.
In other words, he’s now trying to make it sound like he’s speaking out against corruption at big pharma, but frankly, Twitter really isn’t buying it… especially in the midst of the latest Project Veritas outage, which has been superior. of mind in much of the conservative media.
Just an example of what I mean… 😔https://t.co/5xCpCSCDrl

Time will tell how this could affect things with the water tower team. It could be argued that WBD had a much bigger scandal on its hands with Ezra Miller …and they ended up salvaging that pretty well. His movie isn’t cancelled; it’s actually coming out later this year.
Of course, it all comes down to what james gun Y Pedro Safran I want to do with “Shazam!”. They are now in command of DC and have scrapped A LOT In recent months.
Rocking the boat for such a transient time might not be the best idea. Just say’!
