For the last two decades, the rivalry between comic book giants Marvel and DC has been experienced on the silver screen and silver screen rather than the pages of the comics. Black Adam is one of the films that DC, which has been behind Marvel in terms of both the number of movies and the box office, expects to be successful in the vision in the near future.
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who starred in the production, talked about Warner Bros.’s plans to expand the DC universe with new characters and new movies. Saying that Black Adam is “under the big umbrella of the DC universe”, the famous actor said that he may cross paths with different characters in the future, and even encounter Marvel characters.
Dwayne Johnson keeps hope
“I’m an optimist. Production is optimistic, especially when it comes to creativity, especially when it comes to movies. And especially when it comes to the pantheon of DC superheroes and supervillains. On the other hand, there’s the pantheon of Marvel’s superheroes and supervillains. To me, a One day their paths should cross,” he said.
DC and Marvel have worked together many times in the comics before. Hawkeye even took part in DC’s Justice League team for a while and was the only superhero to be a member of both Avengers and JL. The two publishing houses have been pitting the characters against each other since 1976. In fact, it is possible to see the characters that emerged with the combination of the heroes of the two publishing houses in the stories published under the name of Amalgam Comics.
On the other hand, in order for DC and Marvel to take part in a production together, it seems like DC must first solve its own problems. When we talk about the scandals created by Ezra Miller, the cancellation of the Batgirl movie, the merger process of Warner Bros – Discovery and the canceled productions in this process, the waters in the company do not calm down. Although a Marvel-like 10-year plan has been announced recently, it is stated that DC Films president Walter Hamada is on the verge of resigning.
Dwayne Johnson, on the other hand, is waiting for the start of a new era in the DC cinematic universe with Black Adam. It seems possible that the character, who is certain to face Shazam in the future, will compete with Superman at some point.
Black Adam movie will hit theaters on October 21, 2022.
