Latest Sci-Fi News: Dwayne Johnson’s MCU obsession is to blame for ‘Black Adam’ failure as Chris Pine admits ‘Star Trek’ can never measure up to Marvel

There’s a lot to be thankful for in the world of sci-fi TV right now, what with fresh episodes of The Last of Us arriving weekly and The Mandalorian now back on our screens for its third season. Things aren’t so positive in the sci-fi movie sphere, unfortunately, as we take a look back at the mistakes Dwayne Johnson made with DC’s Black Adam and the ongoing absence of any new Star Trek film on the big screen. Marvel might not be in the healthiest shape right now, but the MCU is still consuming every other franchise in its shadow…

There are various reasons why Dwayne Johnson’s attempt to stage a DCU coup didn’t work, but the biggest is probably that the star bit off more than he could chew. The whole problem can be seen in microcosm with the way he failed to make a Wonder Woman cameo happen in Black Adam because he became too obsessed with the pie-in-the-sky idea of a Marvel crossover with Ryan Reynolds’ Deadpool. The Rock should’ve stuck to a team-up with Gal Gadot’s Diana Prince and, who knows, maybe he would’ve been working on Black Adam 2 right now.
