It certainly sounds as if the Fast & Furious star is talking about Lobo, and it could be that this is one of Warner Bros.' rumoured lower budget DC adaptations. Of course, Batman Vs. Superman is shooting next year, so could it be that The Rock will have a cameo in that too? Sound off below!

UPDATE: Check out the shirt that The Rock is wearing in this promo for his Q&A...

Cool! I'm fine with him as Lobo, he can definitely use his charismatic energy to that role.

Shazam!

Not Black Adam but the Captain formally known as Marvel.
Watch as Shazam starts becoming a more prominent DC character.

Awesome! But was hoping he would land Shazam role!
Or maybe he will be Black Atom?...could be for a villain role???

The Rock would be wasted as a bad guy, people want him as a good guy.

Ain't Luke Cage going straight to tv though, so that counts that out


GL!?! Lmao yeah have GL be the biggest guy in the group, that's smart, lol *sarcasm*

Either Lobo or Black Adam

Personally I think he would be fit for black Adam

I hope it's not Lobo. I'm just not really a fan.

I love the Rock, however and I think he needs to be a Superhero. Shazam would be cool, although I'm still pissed they changed the name. I can see why, but I'm still pissed.

Jason Mamoa would be perfect for Lobo.

Also, I think Liev Schrieber could also be an excellent Lobo.

My guess for the Rock could be Ares. He's got the arrogance to pull it off.

I feel like Lobo should be low on the priority list when it comes to characters, I mean they only have half of the JL officially cast right now. We still need our Green Lantern, Flash and MM/Cyborg/Aquaman (any one of those)

He was already supposed to play black Adam in the failed shazam movie!!!! But whatever movie it is, it's gonna be a while

The rock draws too much of a good guy persona, he isn't a villain.

Cyborg, Martian Manhunter, or Stewart is imagine.

Nah, calling it: Aquaman.

Rock would be terrible for Lobo. It'd just be the Rock in a Lobo suit, much in the same way Affleck will be Affleck in a Batman suit. Get a no name to become the role, not an established star to wear the role.

If I were betting on this, it has to be Ares (although Daniel Craig would be my choice to play the part).

Agree he'd be perfect for cyborg... But it would be such a waste.

Pretty sure they know if they make him a villain, they're throwing their movie under the bus (at least worldwide).

There's just some leading actors(or actresses) you can't make the antagonist in a film. Their movie would probably be considered worse than Jonah Hex, Green Hornet, and Green Lantern combined.
