AI technology has recently showcased its skills by generating captivating photos that depict the Avengers and Justice League in an alternate universe where Marvel actors joined DC instead of Marvel Studios. The Avengers films, along with the lead-up movies, have earned widespread acclaim for their success and the impressive ensemble cast assembled by Marvel Studios. Despite the DC Extended Universe films having a comparatively lower level of success, the cast continues to have a fervent fan following. Many enthusiasts eagerly anticipate the return of beloved characters such as Henry Cavill's Superman and Ray Fisher's Cyborg, even with Warner Bros. rebooting the franchise.
Supercosplaylover shared new AI-generated images on Discord that depict an alternate reality in which Marvel stars take on DC superhero roles. The actors' DC characters align with their MCU counterparts. For instance, Chris Evans is shown as a heroic Superman, mirroring his portrayal of Captain America. Similarly, Robert Downey Jr. swaps his Iron Man suit for Batman's technologically advanced attire. Tom Holland is depicted as Robin, Batman's youthful sidekick, akin to Spider-Man's relationship with Tony Stark.
The images also showcase Scarlett Johansson as Wonder Woman, Chris Hemsworth as Aquaman, Jeremy Renner as Green Arrow, Aaron Taylor-Johnson as The Flash, and Elizabeth Olsen as Zatanna. Additionally, Tom Hiddleston is portrayed as the Joker, Chris Pratt as Green Lantern, Brie Larson as Supergirl, Karen Gillan as Batgirl, Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Fate, and Paul Bettany as Martian Manhunter. While these images are entertaining, some users in the comments argue that certain actors don't resemble their real-life counterparts.
However, these AI-generated images provide innocent enjoyment for fans who wish to envision alternative possibilities. Given the recent struggles faced by Marvel and DC films, such as the disappointing performance of Ant-Man 3 at the box office and DC's struggles with Shazam 2, it's understandable that fans might seek solace in these imaginative renderings. Warner Bros. is already deeply immersed in the development of James Gunn's new DC Universe, while Disney and Marvel Studios are said to be prioritizing quality over quantity, resulting in a slower rollout of upcoming MCU projects. With this in mind, it is hopeful that brighter days lie ahead for both the DC and Marvel movie franchises.
Disney Plus offers access to a collection of Avengers films.
