Summary

Hollywood celebrity Zachary Levi refuses to be censored. The actor, best known for starring in Shazam!, Hotel Tehran, and voicing Flynn Rider in Tangled, supported RFK for President, says “woke” is “indicative of any ideology that sacrifices logic, reason”, and even spoke out “against Pfizer in early 2023.” He was one of a small handful of celebrities who publicly mourned Charlie Kirk. As expected, Hollywood has not responded kindly – he’s reportedly been blacklisted by actor peers and multiple studios. In response, the actor is launching his own $100 million Wyldwood Studios in Bastrop, Texas. He tells Dave Rubin: “What is it to gain the whole world and lose your soul in the process?” Zachary Levi is an actor and founder of Wyldwood Studios. He will appear in “Sarah’s Oil” (MGM/Amazon, 2025), “Not Without Hope,” and “Hotel Tehran.” He previously starred in “Shazam!”, “Tangled”, and “American Underdog.” Follow at https://x.com/ZacharyLevi Batya Ungar-Sargon hosts “Batya!” on NewsNation.
