Zachary Levi, who recently starred in the Warner Bros. movie "Shazam!," will go from playing a fictional superhero to what many Iowans would consider a real one.
Levi announced on Instagram Wednesday that he will play Iowan and former Super Bowl MVP Kurt Warner in the upcoming biopic "American Underdog: The Kurt Warner Story."
The Lionsgate film will be based on Warner's memoir, "All Things Possible: My Story of Faith, Football and the First Miracle Season."
