I love DC.  It&#8217;s in my blood,\u201d Johnson told <em>Variety&#8217;s <\/em>Jordan Moreau.  \u201cIn the spirit of growing up with the DC Universe.  I&#8217;m here to help in any way I can, including looking for and finding that right leaders or leaders.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n<p>\tIn his answer, Johnson also touched on his long personal history with DC Comics, which stretches back to his childhood.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n<p>\t\u201cAs a little boy, I grew up loving the Super Friends, specifically Superman,\u201d Johnson shared.  \u201cI saw my first Black Adam comic and it was arresting to me.  His face was intense.  He looked cool, looked different, badass and had brown skin.  So automatically I was relating to him.  I am DC through and through.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n<p>\tWhile \u201cBlack Adam\u201d places Johnson&#8217;s antihero in a packed ensemble that includes characters like Pierce Brosnan&#8217;s Doctor Fate and Aldis Hodge&#8217;s Hawkman, the star&#8217;s vision for which superheroes could appear alongside his character extends far beyond his upcoming movie, and even the larger DC universe.  When asked about the potential for a DC-Marvel crossover event, Johnson stated that it would only be a matter of meeting fan demand. <\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n<p>\t\u201cWell, I&#8217;m always optimistic.  I&#8217;d like to think that we would see that.  My philosophy is anything can get done.  Let&#8217;s start with the end goal.  And if the end goal is to have some sort of crossover that can be compelling, smart, cool for the fans,\u201d Johnson said.  \u201cLet&#8217;s get a temperature gauge if they&#8217;d like to see something like that.  And then if they do, then let&#8217;s create it.  I operate my businesses like that.  I truly believe that anything can happen.  Anything can happen with the right people and place, and the right leadership, having the right conversations.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n<p>\t\u201cBlack Adam\u201d his theaters on Oct.  21. <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/plain\" class=\"optanon-category-C0004\">\n  !function(f, b, e, v, n, t, s) {\n    if (f.fbq) return;\n    n = f.fbq = function() {\n      n.callMethod ?\n          n.callMethod.apply(n, arguments) : n.queue.push(arguments);\n    };\n    if (!f._fbq) f._fbq = n;\n    n.push = n;\n    n.loaded = !0;\n    n.version = '2.0';\n    n.queue = [];\n    t = b.createElement(e);\n    t.async = !0;\n    t.src = v;\n    s = b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];\n    s.parentNode.insertBefore(t, s);\n  }(window, document, 'script',\n      'https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n  fbq('init', '586935388485447');\n  fbq('init', '315552255725686');\n  fbq('track', 'PageView');\n<\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Warner Bros.
