2. Zachary Levi And Jack Dylan Grazer's Chemistry

While there were doubts cast upon Zachary Levi when he was announced in the role, he expels all of them in this trailer.

Not only is he a great fit for the hero, fully embodying the spirit of the character, but his earnestness, charm, and chemistry with co-star Jack Dylan Grazer are crucial to making this work.

Grazer is very much a talent on the rise, after his performance in last year's IT (and he'll be back for the sequel), and he and Levi bounce off each other brilliantly here. The same can be said for Grazer and Asher Angel, although we don't see quite as much of it.
