With the announcement that Zachary Levi would be portraying the World’s Mightiest Mortal in his very own standalone film, plenty of people have voiced their concerns about him being able to stand toe-to-toe (eventually) with The Rock, who was cast as Black Adam.

Well, have no fear, as Levi is already getting into peak shape to play the Big Red Cheese, as Levi and his friend, Eric Blackmon have taken to the gym for some serious working out:

Levi definitely has the acting chops and the comedic chops for this role, and from the sounds of it, will be able to physically embody this character in no time.

Shazam!, being directed by David F. Sandberg, is set to begin filming next year for a 2019 release.
