DC's Swamp Thing may run into the difficulty of being too similar to Marvel's Man-Thing, which was adapted to live-action in 2022's Werewolf By Night.
The upcoming Swamp Thing movie faces a possible obstacle in the form of the MCU's Man-Thing. One of the characters who will take part in the first chapter of the DC Universe, "Gods and Monsters" is Swamp Thing, avatar of the Green.
SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY Swamp Thing is a powerful but kindhearted hero who's fueled by nature. A scientist-turned-monster, Swamp Thing generally stays away from mankind unless humans threaten his habitat, at least until other less-than-perfect heroes require his assistance. These characteristics make Swamp Thing a pretty unique DC character, but his similarities with a Marvel anti-hero could become a problem for his upcoming live-action adaptation.
Man-Thing made his MCU debut in 2022's Werewolf By Night, and the DC Universe is set to introduce Swamp Thing within the next few years. To top it off, it's possible for the MCU's Man-Thing to join a team of Marvel anti-heroes — the Midnight Sons — while Swamp Thing can set up Justice League Dark, a group of dark DC characters who deal with the supernatural.
How Swamp Thing Can Be Different From Man-Thing Fortunately, there are some differences that DC's Swamp Thing movie can highlight to set Alec Holland apart from Marvel's Man-Thing. Swamp Thing is a protector of nature, while Man-Thing is the keeper of the Nexus of All Realities, a multiversal gateway. And unlike Man-Thing, Swamp Thing is always powered by nature, regardless of how long he spends outside his swamp.
