“Honored and greatly humbled to be a part of the DC Universe by bringing the original Captain Marvel to life,” said Levi. “I am beside myself with gratitude, not only for this opportunity, but also the incredible outpouring of love and support from so many of you out there in the world. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be in the gym for the rest of forever.”
