Currently, there is great competition between franchises of Marvel and DC Comics, the two most important in terms of superheroes.
Every year, both brands seek to bring new characters to the cinema and recruit the best actors to be successful in each of its premieres.
If you missed it: How much is Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson’s fortune?
That would be the case of Dwayne Johnson, known worldwide as ‘The rock’, and who is currently promoting ‘Jungle Cruise’, his most recent film.
The actor and professional wrestler would enter the Marvel Cinematic Universe via Deadpool, whose third installment is in pre-production stage.
With Disney’s purchase of Fox, the character became part of the franchise and therefore is in charge of the new film that does not yet have a release date.
International media revealed that ‘The rock’ would be part of this project, which is led by Ryan Reynolds, who gives life to the famous antihero. Initially, it is speculated that ‘The Rock’ would play himself and not a particular character, however, official confirmation by Disney and Marvel.
It should be noted that Johnson is the protagonist of Black Adam, which is part of the DC Comics Universe, and whose film will be released on December 22, 2021.
If this movement occurs in the industry, it would mean a new leap for ‘The rock’ and a great novelty amid the rise of superhero movies.
