$53 Billion Worth Marvel and $10 Billion Worth DC Might Come Together Only Due to Dwayne Johnson

Published 08/19/2022, 8:00 AM EDT

Dwayne Johnson is an influential guy who knows how to move pieces on a board. His multi-layered career as a wrestler, actor, producer, and many more have led to The Rock influencing big houses in the favor of the public.

It happened all the way back in WWE when The Rock’s popularity was instrumental in making the careers of Mick Foley and Stone Cold Steve Austin. Now, it seems like he is influencing one of the biggest media industries to change its plans as well.

Starring in the highly anticipated Black Adam, The Rock will make his DC and superhero debut this October. The movie features not only Johnson’s Black Adam but Doctor Fate (Pierce Brosnan), Atom Smasher (Noah Centineo), Hawkman (Aldis Hodge), and Cyclone (Quintessa Swindell).

Dwayne Johnson talks about a crossover with the Marvel Cinematic Universe

Dwayne Johnson told GamesRadar, “I am optimistic, just my nature is optimistic. And especially when it comes to creative. Especially when it comes to movies. And especially when it comes to the pantheon of DC superheroes and supervillains. Across the street, we have the pantheon of superheroes and supervillains of Marvel. To me, they can not only exist but they should, in my mind, cross paths one day.”

The $53 billion worth MCU is an entity that has shifted the cinema industry drastically. With the climax of Infinity War and Endgame, it became one of the most profitable series to garner the big screen. So, making money off of that name would irk any company into making a movie with them. Sony has already signed up to enter that bandwagon and if DJ has any influence in the $10 billion worth (including DC Comics) DC HQ, things at DCEU could be shifting up as well.

From an in-universe standpoint, the Flash movie is reshaping the entire universe in the DCEU. And the MCU is also shifting places as the multiverse phenomena threaten to restructure the fabric of the universe. These two magnitudinous events taking place could also see the two franchises co-existing. This would bring an additional layer to the superhero genre.

For movie-only fans, a crossover between Marvel and DC isn’t a new thing. Comics have done it multiple times. There’s even a Wolverine and Batman fusion that defeats a Joker and Sabretooth fusion. The sky is the limit when it comes to crossovers and we can’t wait for WB and Disney to finally give the fans what they need.
