After Ben Affleck & Henry Cavill, Dwayne Johnson is also in talks to enter the Marvel Universe
The fans have been criticizing the new Co-CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran for making radical changes while DC has been going through some instability. There have, however, been numerous rumors that Ben Affleck and Henry Cavill intend to collaborate with the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Now, rumors abound that Dwayne Johnson, who had his DC debut with Black Adam but was booted out in the blink of an eye, is going to debut in the MCU as well, and Ryan Reynolds may just be his ticket.
The actor recently informed his followers on Twitter that he won’t be reprising his role as Black Adam anytime soon under DC’s banner. Dwayne’s stint as Black Adam flew by as quickly as one can even imagine. Does that imply that he is thinking about joining the Marvel Cinematic Universe?
As reported in We Got This Covered, it seems like Ryan Reynolds might bring Dwayne Johnson to the grounds of the MCU. With Deadpool 3, Ryan is reuniting with director Shawn Levy and old frenemy Hugh Jackman who also were involved in 2021’s Free Guy. And apparently, Dwayne Johnson was also in the movie now, if you can’t remember, we might let it pass. So it might be a possibility that Dwayne Johnson can land a role in Deadpool 3 while joining the rest of the Free Guy team.
A while back, Dwayne Johnson had taken to his Twitter handle and wrote a long note sharing his feelings about leaving DC. An excerpt can be read as, “My passionate friends, I wanted to give you a long-awaited Black Adam update regarding the character’s future in the new DC Universe. James Gunn and I connected, and Black Adam will not be in their first chapter of storytelling. However, DC and Seven Bucks have agreed to continue exploring the most valuable ways Black Adam can be utilized in future DC multiverse chapters. James and I have known each other for years and have always rooted for each other to succeed. It’s no different now, and I will always root for DC (and Marvel) to win and WIN BIG.”
Well, after Henry Cavill’s exit as Superman, Gal Gadot’s Wonder Woman chapter 3 getting scrapped, and Dwayne Johnson’s Black Adam getting tanked, DC has unfurled a new phase and fans are not quite happy. What about you? Let us know in the comments!
