Although Dwayne Johnson’s possible casting as Apocalypse has Marvel fans very enthusiastic, Wolverine finds this to be quite disturbing!

Following Black Adam’s critical and financial flop, Dwayne Johnson left the DCEU, but that won’t stop the professional wrestler-turned-actor from portraying comic book characters on screen once more. In fact, according to the most recent rumours, he is returning to the superhero genre in the MCU.

There is a lot of excitement for the next X-Men films because Marvel Studios head Kevin Feige has confirmed that the Mutant Saga would eventually be included in the MCU.

Dwayne Johnson Is Supposedly Cast in MCU as Apocalypse

Kevin Feige announced last month that with the release of Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool & Wolverine, the era of mutants is finally here. This gives Marvel Studios access to X-Men characters that they were unable to work with before Disney acquired Fox, allowing them to finally work with them.

After a well-known scooper announced on Twitter that Dwayne Johnson will be joining the MCU’s cast of supervillains as Apocalypse, it appears that one of the most well-liked fan-casts will take place. Netizens should proceed with caution when interpreting this story, as it is merely a rumour.

However, who exactly is Apocalypse? He essentially functions as the X-Men universe’s Thanos. He is one of the first mutants on Earth and the most dangerous of all, claims Marvel.com. With his enormous strength, wisdom from antiquity, and cutting edge extraterrestrial technology, the X-Men are surely doomed.

Like in the 1995 comic book crossover storyline Age of Apocalypse, Apocalypse has a deep hatred for the weak and would not hesitate to commit unspeakable crimes in order to subjugate Earth, force evolution, and create a race stronger than mutants.

The mutants’ valiant battle against the despotic villain will commence with the advent of Apocalypse. It also portends poorly for Hugh Jackman’s character Wolverine in the films, who will not only lose his hand in a fight but also change into a much more terrifying persona.

To put it briefly, the speculation that Johnson would play Apocalypse might mean that the MCU’s enemy will make his official debut shortly. In addition to having to live up to the Australian star’s history, the next Wolverine must demonstrate that he has the fortitude and tenacity necessary to take on a powerful opponent like Apocalypse.

The Mutant Saga is the ideal continuation of the Multiverse Saga, which the company has to move forward with in order to maintain its momentum.
