Well, we knew it used to be coming, however Dwayne Johnson has now formally confirmed that Warner Bros. is in no hurry to fast-track a Black Adam sequel, that means the promised generation of the DCU that would characteristic The Rock as one in all its tentpole stars is over earlier than it began. Johnson is basically parting techniques with DC, as James Gunn and Peter Safran rebuild the universe, and though he’s not ruling out a return in the future, he’s very much striking the franchise at the back of him for the foreseeable.

The result's that it’s just conceivable there’s room in his busy time table for a Marvel position. And even though fans might be surprisingly uninterested in seeing him swimsuit up in the MCU, it just so happens that Johnson laid the groundwork for his arrival on the scene as an iconic hero virtually a full decade ago. Way again when in 2013, Johnson took to Twitter to pitch an concept to Kevin Feige — forged him as Luke Cage.

Can’t see it? Johnson helpfully shared a comparison between the comedian e book Power Man and himself, dressed best in some speedos that even Namor would deem too revealing.

If you questioning why Johnson was once thanking the Marvel president, that’s because Feige had gushed over the megastar right through an interview he gave to Collider at the time. The manufacturer admitted he’d “love” to work with Johnson someday:

“I think yeah, I mean his identify has arise previously. I’m a gigantic fan of his… I believe he’s a fantastic character and an incredible kind of force of nature. He’s superior in Pain & Gain, he was once nice in G.I. Joe, he’s truly roughly a terrific human being. His Twitter’s at all times cool and he promotes the hell out of everything he does. I would like him to be a part of the Marvel universe someplace, sooner or later.”

Obviously, a couple of years after Johnson’s tweet, Marvel cast Mike Colter as Luke Cage for Netflix’s Defenders Saga. However, whilst Charlie Cox is back as Daredevil, the canonical status of Luke Cage remains in doubt, thanks partially to series veteran Mahershala Ali being rehired as Blade. It’s entirely conceivable for Luke to be recast, then, that means The Rock could in the end achieve his dream MCU role these kinds of years later.

Far from maintaining his recognition as “franchise Viagra,” joining DC became out to be a major PR disaster for Dwayne Johnson, so it’s easy to imagine him taking a look to board the Marvel universe as a substitute in an attempt to win again some superhero street-cred. Whether Kevin Feige feels so effusive about collaborating with him at the present time, however, remains to be observed. If all the stars align, regardless that, you by no means know — the hierarchy of energy within the MCU could be about to switch.
