The Expansion Of The Black Adam Universe
Before tackling a multidimensional crossover, the Jumanji actor emphasized the need to expand and create a concrete existence of the Black Adam characters within the DCEU. Johnson explained what the goal is for upcoming future projects. In the latest issue of Total Film magazine, the actor had the following to say:
“The goal is to really expand the universe, and introduce new characters, and spin-off, and be really strategic about the plan. We have a few ideas of what characters people are really going to respond to in Black Adam.”
Seems like the actor and the production team have thought far into the future with how they wish to tackle the potential of the new characters in Black Adam. Dwayne Johnson hinted at how they have begun ideating what future movies would look like for a specific character.
With the introduction of the Justice Society of America in the DCEU, it is no surprise that Johnson himself is excited to explore the potential of these new characters. The actor stressed the importance of building out a vast and expansive shared universe. “While [Shazam and Black Adam] may not be crossing paths, everything exists in a big umbrella of the DC universe,” commented Johnson.
The former pro-wrestler is hoping to see the possibility of potential crossovers come to fruition with time, but as for now, the focus is on building and expanding the DC universe to “as big” as it possibly can be.
Dwayne Johnson Wants A Marvel Vs. DC Crossover
When it comes to a much-anticipated crossover film featuring MCU and DCEU characters, the Hobbs & Shaw actor expressed his ambitions, and said, “I am optimistic.” According to Johnson, having a propitious outlook comes naturally to him. When it comes to creativity, movies, and the world of superheroes and supervillains, the actor is always set to go all-out. Following is what the actor had to say about the potential crossover movie:
“Across the street, we have the pantheon of superheroes and supervillains of Marvel. To me, they [DC and Marvel characters] can not only exist but they should, in my mind, cross paths one day.”
Perhaps the day isn’t far away when fans of both the franchises witness a groundbreaking battle between the Avengers and the Justice League in a record-breaking DC vs. Marvel crossover movie. With Johnson’s ambitious statements, one can merely hope for such an outcome to be likely.
Black Adam, which features Dwayne Johnson in the titular role, will be released on 21 October 2022.
