He may be over at DC now, but Dwayne Johnson has apparently thrown around some ideas for a role in the MCU in past talks with Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige.
Hiram Garcia, president of Johnson’s Seven Bucks Production, told Collider: "[Dwayne Johnson] and Kevin have a great relationship and we've flirted around a few ideas before, but nothing serious."
Despite Johnson and Feige both being on opposite sides of the comic book divide, Garcia revealed they each have a tremendous amount of respect for each other, "There’s a mutual admiration for what we each have been doing and what Kevin has built over there is truly incredible," he said.
If it never comes to pass, it could be (ironically) one of the big Marvel What Ifs. Fans have clamored for Johnson to play the likes of Namor, Hercules, and The Thing across social media in recent years. It’s doubtful the pair will ever reveal the nature of their talks – but it’ll surely get fans talking even more.
Johnson, though, is now spearheading a new roster of heroes (and anti-heroes) over at DC. He’s playing Black Adam, the protector of fictional nation Kahndaq.
