If you loved Chuck, you probably still think of Zachary Levi every time someone says the word “spy.” He had that perfect mix of awkward and cool- the regular guy who somehow saved the world between fixing computers.

But here’s the thing. His story didn’t end when Chuck did. Nope. Since‍‌‍‍‌ then, he really hasn’t been sitting on his hands and he’s been taking up characters which still have that appeal and empathy with which he won people’s hearts a couple of years ago.

So, in fact, if you haven’t seen him for some time, then you are definitely missing something.

We could discuss 5 Zachary Levi films and TV series that you are absolutely obliged to watch.

Tangled (2010)

Okay, let’s start with a fun one. Not everyone knows Zachary Levi is technically a Disney prince. Yep, he’s the voice of Flynn Rider or Eugene, if you want to be proper about it: The charming thief who crashes right into Rapunzel’s life.

What makes it great is that you can hear Levi in the character. The snark, the timing, those little pauses. That’s all him. Honestly, you can even catch bits of Chuck in there. That mix of confidence and awkwardness? Classic Levi.

Oh, and he sings. Really well, actually. “I See the Light” still hits, even after all these years.


Shazam! (2019) and Shazam! Fury of the Gods (2023)

Now, jumping from fairytales to superheroes. These two are probably the biggest “Zachary Levi” moments on screen.

Just‍‌‍‍‌ imagine such a scenario - a grown man who is actually a teenage boy mentally. Absurd, isn't it? But Levi, for some reason, manages to pull it off. He does it with this flawless combination of enthusiasm and warmth, like a child who has just got superpowers but still needs to figure out life.

The first movie is funny, bright, and honestly kind of sweet. Then Fury of the Gods comes along- bigger, louder, crazier, but Levi keeps it grounded. Even when things blow up around him, he makes it feel real.


American Underdog (2021)

This one’s a total shift. American Underdog presents Levi as a mature person. He is Kurt Warner, the NFL quarterback, who went from folding grocery shelves to winning the Super Bowl.

A completely different vibe- no comedy, no costumes, just heart. And Levi nails it. He doesn’t overdo it, doesn’t try to make it dramatic. It’s simple and honest. You can almost picture Chuck if he traded spy gadgets for a football helmet. With the same determination and warmth.


Spy Kids: Armageddon (2023)

Then there’s Spy Kids: Armageddon. Yeah, that franchise. Levi plays the dad here, which sounds chill, but it’s him, so of course it’s funny and full of heart.

Think of it as the cool-dad version of Chuck. The movie’s not trying to be serious or deep. It’s just bright, chaotic, and nostalgic in the best way. If you grew up with the original Spy Kids, you’ll probably smile through this one. And Zachary Levi? You can tell he’s just having fun.


The Unbreakable Boy (2025)

Now for something quieter. The Unbreakable Boy hits a different note altogether. Levi plays a dad raising a son who sees the world differently. It’s emotional and sometimes tough to watch.

No jokes here, no special effects. Just Zachary Levi being raw and human. There you have him as a softer, more grounded side. The kind of work that stays with you because it is real.


Final thoughts

The thing about Zachary Levi is, he keeps changing but never loses that spark. He can be goofy, serious, or emotional, and somehow, it all feels ‍‌‍‍‌natural.

These five projects pretty much sum up what makes him special. No matter what role he’s in, he’s the kind of guy you just can’t help but root for.
