DCEU and MCU Inch Closer to Working Together Thanks to Dwayne Johnson and $250 Million Worth Legendary Producer

Dwayne Johnson is one of the biggest stars in the world right now. Ranking among the top few of the highest earning actors, Johnson has had various other ventures to contribute to his earnings.

Starting in WWE and making a name there, he quickly transitioned it into an acting career. Johnson is one of the biggest names in the industry. His latest film, the much hyped ‘Black Adam’ is about to release in October and has created a massive buzz.

However, there might be some good news waiting in for the fans. According to Giantfreakinrobot, Johnson is now being persuaded to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe. As per reports, Kevin Feige wants Dwayne Johnson as Apocalypse, one of Marvel’s biggest villains.

Rumors suggesting Johnson’s inclusion in the billion dollar movie franchise can be a huge boost. The Rock can bring in crowds and also hold a massive popularity. However, not everything can take place as per words. Dwayne Johnson’s involvement in the DCEU is serious. He will play the titular character in the Black Adam movie, and reports suggest that the future of DCEU will be based around Black Adam.

Thus, Johnson’s character is now one of the most characters in the DCEU. Along with that, he has also been roped in as the advisor for the DC Studios. The latter half might act as a conflict of interest for Marvel and might stop them from bringing in, The Brahma Bull.

X-Men is also going to be introduced in the MCU and hiring Dwayne Johnson as Apocalypse would have acted as an advantage. Since, the previous role of Apocalypse played by Oscar Isaac, and the movie was a disappointment in the whole.

Dwayne Johnson made sure Warner Bros not feature Black Adam in Shazam!

The Rock’s Black Adam is about to hit the theatres and is already generating a buzz. Johnson already received a lot of heating for associating the DCEU with himself. Reports suggest that Black Adam would have made his debut in the Shazam! film if it wouldn’t have been for The Rock.

Dwayne Johnson said, “Now that was the goal — so it wasn’t a complete surprise. But when I read that, I just knew in my gut, ‘We can’t make this movie like this. We would be doing Black Adam an incredible disservice”.

It was also revealed that it was with the persuasion of Dwayne Johnson that Shazam! became an individual movie. Black Adam is about to hit the theatres on October 21, 2022. Dwayne Johnson has promised the film to change the DCEU forever.
