Marvel x DC fans war with words on Twitter after Dwayne Johnson congratulates Black Panther 2 team
Several fans took to Twitter to share their thoughts on Dwayne Johnson congratulating Black Panther: Wakanda Forever team. While Johnson's film Black Adam is a DC film, Black Panther is a Marvel film.
Needless to say, after Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's tweet, DC and Marvel fans argued about which of the two films was better. While some said that The Rock's film was only hyped because of the Superman rumors, others praised it for its accomplishments despite featuring a lesser-known character.
Some Marvel fans also compared the profits both the films made, and others claimed that Marvel was "better than DC currently," so there was no competition between the films.
Black Panther: Wakanda Forever has had a massively successful opening weekend. The film is a sequel to 2018's blockbuster flick, Black Panther, which featured the late actor Chadwick Boseman in the lead role.
The sequel focuses on T'Challa's sister, Shuri, as the protagonist. The story revolves around the people of Wakanda who look to defend their beloved nation from evil external forces following the death of their revered king, T'Challa.
The movie has received high praise from viewers and critics. Most of it is directed towards the film's writing, characterization, visual aesthetics, and performances by the cast.
The movie stars Letitia Wright, along with Lupita Nyong'o, Danai Gurira, and Winston Duke, among many others, in key roles.
