Hollywood star Dwayne Johnson could be making a major move into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, with reports linking him to the role of iconic X-Men villain Apocalypse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The casting speculation emerged as Marvel Studios continues preparations for its upcoming X-Men projects, although the studio has not officially confirmed the report.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The claim was shared by entertainment insider My Time to Shine Hello on X, suggesting that Johnson is being considered for the role of the powerful mutant villain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If confirmed, the move would mark a major shift for Johnson, who previously entered the superhero world as DC character Black Adam.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Johnson\u2019s possible involvement comes as Marvel Studios works to expand its X-Men storyline following the franchise\u2019s integration into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Marvel Studios president Kevin Feige has previously hinted that familiar X-Men characters will play a role in the company\u2019s future plans, though details about upcoming projects remain limited.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The report also comes ahead of Marvel\u2019s next major crossover projects, including Avengers: Secret Wars, which is expected to have a significant impact on the future direction of the MCU.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
