Having made a brief stop in the DC Universe, it seems Johnson might now be eyeing the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Reputable entertainment scooper MyTimeToShineHello recently revealed that Johnson is reportedly in discussions with Marvel to join the upcoming new "X-Men" series, potentially taking on the role of the formidable villain, Apocalypse. This isn't the first time Johnson has been linked to the character; for years, many fans have suggested that his physique, appearance, and demeanor are perfectly suited for Apocalypse. Furthermore, it's not the first time he's been rumored for this Marvel role, but this latest report indicates that Johnson himself is interested in the part. Should this casting come to fruition, it's unlikely to face much opposition from fans.
