Dwayne Johnson DC Universe Project Finally Materializes
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's long-gestating DC project is actually happening—just not in the way he originally envisioned it. Four years into waiting, whatever battle or story he wanted to bring to the DCEU is finally coming together. The article notes that the DCEU has explored some deep comic lore over the years, though plenty of obvious storylines got left on the table. Worth noting that Johnson's involvement means this probably isn't some small-scale thing, given his star power.
ComicsBuzz Take
Johnson's project getting greenlit suggests DC's learning to work with established stars on their terms rather than against them—a lesson they desperately needed after years of casting drama.

"The Rock in DC actually might work if they let him be The Rock instead of forcing some character"
