Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson helmed the role in Black Adam just when the extended DC universe was transitioning back to DCU. Not only did this raise excitement for Henry Cavill’s return as Superman, but also opened up the possibility of Johnson starring in a Black Adam Vs. Superman movie. Moreover, Superman’s cameo in the 2022 Black Adam raised more hope. But that dream was short-lived as the reigns of DC shifted to James Gunn and Peter Safran. What brought Johnson back to the talks was the rumors about Hugh Jackman and his entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe.

Ashley Talks Comics, a fan page on Twitter, further expressed her desire, saying, “I want every movie to be a musical.” Citing how if Johnson could spark talks and make Black Adam vs Superman “a thing,” Jackman could request and have the fans’ dreams come true.

Fans beg Hugh Jackman to make their musical dreams come true
The Logan actor’s return in his comic book-accurate costume has kept the excitement alive. In addition, Ryan Reynolds‘ upcoming R-rated movie will also be Jackman’s first movie alongside a Marvel superhero. After playing the character for 17 long years and retiring in Logan (2019), the return is definitely exciting. Thus, fans wholeheartedly requested a musical, and roping in Johnson to justify was worth a chuckle.
At least one musical number that he is apart of. I expect Secret Wars to be all out comic camp and fun, with some serious plot of course.

"Kang the Conqueror will be defeated. Not with our incredible super powers or a clever scheme. But through the raw emotion only SONG CAN CONVEY!"

The tweets were flooded with the request for Kang Opera. They even suggested various ways they could incorporate music. Basically, fans wanted to see Kang the Conqueror sing. They would even be happy with a musical if it were an animated Avengers movie. How accommodating are Marvel fans?
Can't wait for the Kang Opera scene. Or the bit where they all repress their emotions and then suddenly they start singing. Or… Talking Heads.

Considering how many MCU actors can sing, I'd legit LOVE an MCU musical ( even if it's an animated What If movie….just sayin )
