Fans Suggest Seth Rogen Stick to His Decision
Seth Rogen has worked on several comic book adaptations and his work mostly includes mature content-based projects likeThe Boys. Considering that he has had a good run making the same content, fans have suggested the actor stay away from Marvel and DC. One fan mentioned that they would rather have him working on shows likeThe BoysandInvincibleinstead of joining the MCU or DCU.
He’s Already Worked With The Green Hornet, Invincible, The Boys, and Now TMNT!!!
Maybe he Could do a DCU Film/Show, But he Should Keep Himself Safe Away From The MCU

Honestly Rogen shouldn’t work on either property. He seems to be good working on the outskirts of comics. And he’s found a good niche in that world too. I’d much rather him work on more things like THE BOYS or INVINCIBLE than like NIGHTWING or something

Agreed . His stuff is a bit too mature for marvel and Disney , so if he did he’ll have to water down which could limit his creativity. DC his style wouldn’t work with an existing character, but I wouldn’t mind an original character he made in that world

Others also suggested that he might have issues working with Disney and Marvel as they surely would not opt for the type of comic book adaptations that he has worked on so far. While some fans suggested that he could work on some DC projects, others stated that he does not need the MCU and also suggested he stay away from the Marvel Cinematic Universe.
