By the end of Season 2 of “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” it appeared that the show’s motor-mouthed, wisecracking heroine (Rachel Brosnahan) was going to settle down with a nice, very tall Jewish doctor, Benjamin Ettenberg (Zachary Levi).

And why not? Midge’s impossible father, Abe Weissman (Tony Shalhoub), signed off on the union after inspecting Ettenberg’s tax returns, medical records and 25 character references. “Midge is stunning and talented and whip-smart,” Levi tells The Post. “That’s what Benjamin wants.”

Midge and Benjamin met when the Weissmans decamped from their Riverside Drive apartment to the Steiner Resort, a lakeside getaway in upstate New York (real location: the Scott Family Resort in Deposit, NY). In a sea of husband-hunting women, Midge stood out because, as Levi says, “Benjamin sees that she’s weird and that’s what he wants. Somebody outside of the norm of what people were doing in the 1950s. He’s not looking for a doting wife. He wants someone who keeps him on his toes because he’s a super-smart, intellectual person.”

They bonded during a long car trip as Benjamin gave Midge a ride back to the city — driving in style in a red 1959 Chevy convertible without power steering or power brakes. “She was a beaut,” says Levi, 38, of the car. “I was actually driving. It was like me and the camera car [in front of me]. We were doing a dance.”

While “Mrs. Maisel” has won a raft of Emmys, Golden Globes and SAG Awards, Levi is best remembered as the star of the alternative NBC comedy “Chuck,” a gig he recalls as “a very specific journey with many rewards but one that took a lot out of me.” Yearning to “explore other avenues” after that grind, he joined the cast of the 2016 revival of the Broadway musical “She Loves Me,” for which he received a Tony nomination. One of the reasons he joined “Mrs. Maisel” was to work again with Scott Ellis, who directed him in that show. The cast was another draw. “Rachel I had recognized from ‘House of Cards.’ And Tony Shalboub is just an unbelievable talent,” he says.

Zachary Levi Pugh, born in Lake Charles, La., was once married to “FBI” star Missy Peregrym, and lives outside Austin, Texas — far from the desert sprawl of LA and the concrete canyons of New York. “I just didn’t think I’d be able to grow the way I wanted to grow in work and life if I stayed in Los Angeles,” he says. “I knew I needed to go to another place, and Austin is just one of the grooviest places in the world.”

His latest project, the big-screen version of DC Comics superhero “Shazam!,” has taken him to Comic-Con in Sao Paolo, Brazil, in advance of the film’s April 5 opening. “It’s pretty nutty in Sao Paolo,” he says. “The Brazilian fans are so willing to share their love. The convention was full of tremendous positivity.”

The success of that film may affect his availability to return to “Mrs. Maisel” when the show goes back into production — should Midge decide to go through with her engagement to Dr. Ettenberg, a six-month tour as the opening act for singer Shy Baldwin (Leroy McClain) notwithstanding.

“I had such a time working with that cast and crew. Amy [Sherman-Palladino] and Dan [Palladino] I got on very well with,” Levi says. “If I can make it happen, for sure.”
