Over the course of all those years, we saw a change in DC management. Many have assumed several times that DCEU tried to follow MCU’s Kevin Feige, but never reached the success he did.
Dwayne Johnson believes in the new DCEU management
Recently, talking with Brandon Davis of Comicbook.com, Dwayne Johnson talked about the future of DCEU with Black Adam. As per the words of The Rock, it looked seemingly true that DCEU’s Kevin Feige-inspired plan may surely face hurdles.
Johnson said, “So I feel really good Brandon, you’re asking question about where we’re at today. I feel really confident in the new leadership that’s in here now at Warner Bros. and actively looking now … we’re gonna land on some leadership for the DC side, too.”
The Teth-Adam actor added, “So this idea that I’ve been saying for about a year now, about, ‘Hey, this is a new era in the DC universe.’ It’s a new era there, it’s a new era in Black Adam. You saw the end of Black Adam, that’s a new era too as well that we’re bringing in. So I feel good.”

For many years DC has tried to follow MCU while making movies. The perks of these we saw when DC announced Justice League after releasing four movies, which the audience found tough to connect. This was because they didn’t introduce all the characters.
MCU released also released four movies and introduced all the characters. This made fans easy to understand the plot.
Johnson wants this pattern in DCEU, and it seems like fans are getting that with the new management after the merger with Discovery. The studio is still finding someone similar to Kevin Feige in DCEU to achieve the same success MCU found over the years.
