Dwayne Johnson is rumored to be entering the Marvel Cinematic Universe as the formidable X-Men villain, Apocalypse. This comes after his stint as Black Adam in the DCEU didn’t meet box office expectations. Apocalypse, one of the first mutants and a god-like figure known for his extreme power and ‘survival of the fittest’ ideology, could be a significant role for Johnson, aligning with his previous portrayals of powerful, near-mythical characters.

Noooooo. Disney is bound and determined to wreck the X-Men movie before it even has a chance. A pity, since if they just use the source material, it’s a masterpiece on its own.
Avalanche?
I want omega red but not as the Rock
Nope no a good idea
So we’re just going to ignore the last movie that had apocalypse in it? Yeah that Jean Grey movie was terrible
Can we just put him in something where he doesn’t win.
He has the look for Apoc, but not the acting chops. We’ll see.
I’ll save judgement till I’ve seen it🤷
I kinda hate this but a villain who wins in the end is kinda cool
Oh neat. I was wondering when they’d make something I’d want to skip and here we are
Did they see what he wanted in the DCEU. Tell him to bugger off and hire Brandon Fraser
Yawn.
Irrelevant Man!
No. Hawaii
Apocalypse should be cgi like thanos was. We don’t want another power rangers version
Vince Vaughn not available?
I smell what’s cooking and I it doesn’t smell good.
What about the man that played The Mountain in GOT?
That will not be a big enough part for his ego.
Sony? :p
I want a movie about Gambit fighting his counterpart New Sun https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/New_Sun_(Earth-9921)
DOA…too much Rock Brand is not kool
God no. If we follow MCU casting trends, The only actor to play Apocalypse is Bobby Lee.
All these rumors probably stem from the TKO offices.
Another attempt to rewrite the Apocalypse Saga?
Then he should play Sentry.

You know after seeing him develop this final boss for WWE i actually think he could pull this off 
They’ve already had a chance with Apocalypse and failed. It’s time for a genuine effort at Mr. Sinister. Definitely NOT with Dwayne Johnson though.
