During an interview on iHeartRadio’s YouTube channel, he talked about the heated competition between Marvel and DC.
He said there was no war and the DCU wasn’t going after the MCU either. He said:
“I have been asked this question a lot. Are we going after… When I talk about the new era of the DC Universe with Black Adam, are we going after Marvel? That’s what I mean by that? The answer is no. We are not going to do this and me and there is no “war” between DC and between MCU. it’s my opinion.

And I say that respectfully. Kevin Feige, I love him… But also there is only one DC. And there’s only one Black Adam, and there’s only one Justice League, and there’s only one JSA. And so, I want to keep building the DC world.

Regarding this, the star said in the same interview that he would like the two brands to come together. He said:
“Now I’d love to see the two brands converge one day, like we did in wrestling, because that’s how we think. Because at the end of the day, what will always guide my hand and will always be my North Star is taking care of the fans… But… I think the key with brands converging in the right direction is having the right people sitting at the table, having the right conversations. down the line. There is only one Marvel. There will always be only one Marvel. But there is only one DC too.
