More Details On Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's DC Movie Role; It WON'T Be Green Lantern
Taking part in a #RockTalk Q&A on Twitter, Hercules star Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has revealed some more hints about his role in an upcoming DC comic book movie, confirming that as much as he likes the character, it won't be John Stewart/Green Lantern that he plays.
Taking part in a Q&A on Twitter earlier today, Dwayne Johnson has offered up a few very minor details about who he will be playing for DC and Warner Bros. in the near future. Does the fact that he debunks those Green Lantern rumours, but mentions Black Adam serve as proof that that is who he will play? With Lobo apparently scrapped, the list of candidates continues to shrink.
Either way, this is a huge win for DC (surely Marvel are kicking themselves for not nabbing the Fast & Furious star?), and it should be very interesting to see who he ends up playing and where he'll first turn up. For now, you can see Johnson in action in the first trailer for Hercules.
