Zachary Levi: natty or not?
Likely natty Shazam! — a sitcom actor rebuilt as a superhero
Short answer. Verdict: likely natty. At the peak physique on this page, Zachary Levi is 6'2" (188 cm) and 201 lbs (91 kg) at roughly 11% body fat. That works out to an FFMI of 22.4, against the ~25 mark cited as the natural ceiling.

Note. Weight and body fat are estimates from footage, not measurements. The verdict is opinion. See the methodology page for how we judge.
Zachary Levi went from television comedy to playing the superpowered alter-ego of Billy Batson in Shazam!, which is the kind of jump that usually starts an argument.
The numbers
It should not here. At 6’2”, the FFMI on this page is well below the drug-free ceiling our methodology page cites. Levi is tall and reasonably lean; the suit did a lot of the work, and superhero costume design has done that job since long before anyone was arguing about this online.
The reasonable comparison
Set him next to the Marvel and DC leads this site rates higher. The difference is not effort or lighting, it is mass — and Levi does not have it. A page like this is worth having precisely because it shows where the line falls: not every actor in a cape is a case.
There is no admission, test, or allegation on his record.
Verdict
Likely-natty — a tall, ordinary build inside natural range, in a costume built to suggest more.
