Shazam Star Zachary Levi To Play Former NFL QB Kurt Warner In Movie About His Life
Zachary Levi, the star of the DC movie Shazam and the voice of Flynn Rider in Disney’s Tangled, is taking on a very different role for his next project. Lionsgate has announced that Levi will play former NFL standout QB Kurt Warner in sports drama called American Underdog, according to Collider.
David Aaron Cohen, who worked on the football TV show Friday Night Lights, is writing the script. The story will follow the real life of Warner, who indeed had an underdog story. After playing college football, Warner did not get drafted into the NFL, but he tried out for the Green Bay Packers. The team ultimately cut him, and Warner went home to Cedar Falls, Iowa to stock shelves at a grocery store.
Warner eventually signed with the Arena Football League’s Iowa Barnstormers, and he performed incredibly well. He was so successful that Midway made a game about him, Kurt Warner’s Arena Football Unleashed, which was released in 2000.
