John Cena Wants to See Iron Man Shake Hands with Superman in a Marvel/DC Crossover

John Cena might be a fixture in the DC Universe as Peacemaker, but that doesn’t mean he’s drawing a hard line between comic book worlds. In fact, when asked at FAN EXPO Dallas if he’d ever jump over to the Marvel Cinematic Universe, Cena said:

“Here is my vision, here is my hope for the future. Everybody plays nice in the same sandbox. I would love Iron Man to shake hands with Superman. I would love to see all superheroes across all platforms be involved in a universe.”

Cena clearly hasn’t seen Marvel’s Avengers: Endgame, and isn’t aware that Iron Man is dead. No one will be shaking hands with Iron Man, unless they pluck an alternate version of the character out of the multiverse at some point. He added:

“So, if that happens and I get my wish as a member of the DC[U], I would essentially walk into the MCU.”

He went on to admit that the final decision isn’t in his hands.

“I don't write the checks and make the parts, so right now my answer's gotta be no, but I hope there is a world where I see all these passionate people come for comics and superheroes.

“I hope we can have different debates because it'll just give us more stories to tell, and more creativity. And I know I'm gonna get punched in the face by critics for saying this, but my long term vision is we can tell stories with characters from both sides of the fence.”

James Gunn, the co-CEO of DC Studios and director of Superman has already floated the idea of a crossover, syaing:

“We've talked about it a billion times… But I also think people are a little over it. I think people wanna see good stories with their superheroes and that's what matters. And they wanna see different types of stories… just having Spider-Man and Superman team up isn't gonna do it if it's shit. So it’s gotta come from a real place.”

Who knows if a Marvel/DC crossover will ever happen. It could be cool if they manage to come up with a great story, but it’s something we won’t see anytime soon. Do you have any story ideas that you would pitch!?
