I love DC. It’s in my blood,” Johnson told Variety. The Red Notice star said that he is there to help in any way he can, including looking for the right leader or leaders.
The Black Adam star also claimed that DC is not going to take any kind of bite from Marvel. He said that what Marvel has done is incredible, but DC does not want to be Marvel.

He further said that he does not want to take a bite of that apple and would prefer a new apple, claiming that DC would not copy anything from Marvel and is focusing on creating its own new era.
