Dwayne Johnson Has Big Plans for the DC Cinematic Universe: "They All Cross Paths"

Dwayne Johnson has such a big plan that he has in mind for the DC Cinematic Universe, you’d think he’s actually gunning for the job to lead the charge at DC Films!

As you know, Johnson went all out with his Black Adam movie with the introduction of the Justice Society, and he also fought tooth and nail for six years to get Henry Cavill back as Superman. According to THR, Johnson’s Superman plans include “a Black Adam versus Superman movie, a desire he has only reiterated more frequently in the lead-up to Adam.”

That’s not all though. In an interview with EstoEs COMBO, Johnson explains that his plan it to do what the fans want, and that includes all of the DC Characters crossing paths. He said:

"The fans will always guide you where you need to go. That's the new era I talk about in the DC Universe. And in the DC Universe — they haven't always listened to fans in the past, but things are different. In Black Adam, things are different. So that's why we can introduce the JSA. That's why in Black Adam, Superman, Batman, Aquaman, Wonder Woman, Flash — they all co-exist in our world.

"Black Adam's not over here, and Joker's over here, and you know, Justice League is over here. In our world, they all exist.

"Ideally, in my mind — it's a little crazy — they all cross paths. Because the fans want that. And there's a good, creative way that we could figure that out, they all cross paths."

Johnson went on to single out his Black Adam versus Superman movie saying, "that would make for a great collision one day." He went on to say:

"So Black Adam colliding with all of these characters in the DC Universe, we come to the table with that open mind. If you said to me, 'Suicide Squad?' I say, 'Yes.' 'Justice League?' I say, 'Yes.' You name them, open up the book. Everything."

Johnson also recently talked about putting together a Marvel and DC crossover movie! These are all very big and ambitious plans for an actor. To execute plans like these, it would definitely help for him to be in charge of the DC Film division or have a very close relationship to the person who ends up in that leadership position.

Regardless, Johnson obviously has epic ambitious plans for DC. It’ll be interesting to see what happens.
