Marvel or DC? It's a question frequently brought up in the comic book world and by extension, its big screen adaptations. But Marvel TV stars Chloe Bennet and Clark Gregg want to know, "Why Can't We Be Friends" despite our favorite superheroes (and their corporate overlords)?
The "Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D." stars broke down barriers in their latest video in the Dubsmash Wars for Charity by featuring DC superhero Batman (played by "S.H.I.E.L.D." star Brett Dalton) and Marvel antihero Deadpool. They also invited Melissa Benoist to represent her DC character Supergirl from the new CBS show and sing along to "Why Can't We Be Friends" by War.
The TV and film rights for all of these superheroes are split among three big studios including Disney (Marvel), 20th Century Fox (Deadpool ) and Warner Bros. (Batman and Supergirl). But at the end of the day, the fans just want to be entertained by their favorite heroes and villains, no matter who puts them on screen.
Gregg decided to take the high road against his Marvel TV rivals Hayley Atwell and James D'Arcy from "Agent Carter" for #TeamSHIELD's second video in the Dubsmash Wars. The "Agent Carter" stars lip synced The Kinks' "Lola" last week while sitting pretty in Gregg's character Phil Coulson's most prized possession, a red 1962 Corvette named Lola.
The cast of the ABC shows are competing for the Dubsmash Wars 2015 crown to benefit the charities Stomp Out Bullying and St. Jude Children's Research Hospital. Fans can vote for either #TeamCarter or #TeamSHIELD at CrowdRise by donating $1 dollar toward the video they like most. As of Sept. 16, #TeamSHIELD leads by about $5,000.
