A one-time Marvel villain actor has reportedly decided not to bat for the other comic book movie team.
General goodwill towards both brands seemed to plummet after a string of flops.
Its rumored that other big names like Matthew McConaughey andStar Wars Ewan McGregor were also being considered for Hal.
But Josh Brolin is also far from the only actor to appear in both DC and Marvel live-action projects.
One of the most famous examples of this is Ryan Reynolds.
Playing comic book roles clearly seems to be something that a great many actors find appealing.
Idris Elba was Heimdall in variousThorandAvengersfilms while additionally appearing as Bloodsport inThe Suicide Squaddirected by James Gunn.
Both Marvel Studios and DC Studios find themselves with a lot to prove as of late.
DC is coming off a rough couple of years at the box office, with duds likeShazam!
Fury of the GodsandAquaman and the Lost Kingdomstruggling to pull in revenue.
The recent runaway success ofDeadpool & Wolverinehas gone a long way in winning audiences back over, however.
In 2025, Marvel is releasing at least three films whilst DC is just putting out one.
With a lot on the line for both companies, filmgoers will ultimately decide their fates.
