The Rock is cooking and it’s not just a steak this time. With the folds of the Marvel Cinematic Universe expanding at rapid speed, it could be possible that Dwayne Johnson might just become a villain… again.
With Robert Downey Jr. portraying the role of Doctor Doom in the MCU, the stakes have never been higher. The Avengers have big threats to kill and one theory states that Dwayne Johnson might be the next big thing that the superheroes will have to face in the MCU.
Dwayne Johnson Is Allegedly The Apocalypse In The MCU!
Apocalypses can be beautiful when it’s a song. On the movie part, Oscar Isaac portrayed the role back in 2016 inX-Men: Apocalypsebut it wasn’t that great of a decision. Well, it seems that the tides of Apocalypse are finally changing now.
As per reports, rumors, and, speculations, Dwayne Johnson is allegedly going to join the Marvel Cinematic Universe as The Apocalypse. The rumor was shared by notable insider @MyTimeToShineHello on their social media account on X.

he will kill it, hopefully in a good way, none of that Black Adam marketing bs though.
Although it’s not confirmed yet whether Dwayne Johnson will be portraying the role or not, there are already theories as to why he should. From deals with DC Studios aboutBlack AdamtoDeadpool & Wolverine,The Rock may have a fool-proof plan.

With this theory in motion, it could work out quite well in favor of Dwayne Johnson if all goes according to plan. There are several reasons why he should take the role of the Apocalypse and how he would be able to do it.
The Rock Can Take The Role of The Apocalypse
Starting off this theory, we bring you the 2022 filmBlack Adam.Starring Dwayne Johnson in the lead role, the film had a crazy marketing effort and the actor was supposed to revolutionize the DCEU/DCU.
The Rock even gave the people a cameo of Henry Cavill’s Superman at the end of the film. However, that was the end of it. Black Adam was never seen again in James Gunn’s DCU. That is reason enough for Johnson to switch sides and join the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
Portraying the role of a villain as iconic as The Apocalypse should be enough for The Rock’s wish to portray a negative character. However, that’s not the end of it. Another point to this theory is the recently released MCU filmDeadpool & Wolverine.
We all know that the film opened the portal between the MCU and the Fox universe. With the X-Men and Fantastic Four team in the MCU, it’s only a matter of a few projects before we are introduced to The Apocalypse.

During that time,Dwayne Johnsonwould indeed be the right choice for the role. As much as the world would love to see this theory come true, in the end, it remains nothing more than a theory.
Black Adamreceived a rating of 6.2/10 on IMDBand a record-low of 39% on Rotten Tomatoes. With The Rock in the lead,Black Adamis available to stream on Max in the U.S.
