Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Chatting with Warner Bros. About DC

OMG He would be a amazing Jon Stewart.

-ABstract4$$#073-

Oh my gosh, if the John stewart thing is true I'm going to die. :'D

Hey, Jimmy Olsen wasn't in Man of Steel, maybe they'll bring the Rock in... :P Seriously I haven't seen many Rock movies, but I think Lobo or Adam would be good choices

A bit of a fangirl when it comes to The Rock. I would love to see him in any superhero film.

LOOOOOOOL

Lobo,Amazo,Cyborg,Doomsday or Darkseid.

Black Adam or Hawkman!

What's also interesting is that Rock hinted at John Stewart back in 2012.

VANDAL SAVAGE

He is most likely Jon Stewart,Black Adam or Martian Manhunter

anyone else and I will be suprised

oh annd this times 100000

People are actually saying Darkseid....

Really? Link?

@captain13:

Worth noticing this (admittedly old) tweet from The Rock. Could just be hinting at the fact he's going to team up with DC, or significantly link him to John Stewart.

I don't think he should get his bad-acting hands on a DC movie, IMO.

... But Black Adam.

I don't think The Rock could pull off Lobo, but think he could possibly make a pretty cool Black Adam. Always thought Ron Perlman would make an excellent Lobo, but he's probably too old at this point.

@korghano: he could always play Deathstroke in live action. Especially since he has experience playing the character already.

hes the only actor with the physique to bring Ambush Bug to the big screen

I'm just glad Dc's got him.

@black_claw: when does the Rock have experience playing Deathstroke? what did I miss?

Black Adam would be sick.

Why am I under the impression he wouldn't do bad as Lex Luthor?...

Also Ares.

@ccj77: I was talking to the guy who brought up Ron Pearlman.

After a couple days of thinking about this..I think he actually would be a good John Stewart. I also really like the idea of a Green Lantern with no mask.

He could be a good GL, after the 2011 bomb, he's one of the very few guys who could make a GL franchise running again.

I'd rather see STONE COLD

8-)

idc if it's Elba or Johnson, so long as we get John Stewart in the JL movie.

Black Adam by far!!

Just hope its not Lobo.

Well earlier reports said the Shazam/Billy Batson movie Warner Bros was planning was scrapped after the success of Man of Steel. They can't introduce Black Adam without introducing Billy Batson and the rest of the Marvel family/mythos

So with that said, I guessing there's three really good role possibilities:

Lobo: Supporting villian role. Maybe sent to Earth to capture the last Kryptonian after the events of Man of Steel.

John Stewart/Green Lantern: Rebooting the GL franchise, introducing a protagonist the general audience will actually like (sorry Hal Jordan fans, but Ryan Renolds never should have been cast imo)

Cyborg: Debuting in a cameo role in preperation for the Justice League movie based off the New52 roster.

I'm prolly completely wrong, but these are the only character/roles that make any real sense for WB/DC could be planning. We'll probably gets some concrete intel at Comic-Con this year as to what WB/DC has planned for Rock.

I'm totally calling bullsh*t on that. Superman took on an army of Green Lanterns before he hit puberty and he mopped the floor with them. (I mean, there wasn't really a floor, because they were in space, but you know what I mean) John Stewart is tough as nails, sure. But Superman could swipe that ring off his finger and crush it like a potato chip before he could even say "bring it".

@amazingwebhead: Don't derail the thread like that.Lanterns can beat Superman(Kilowag has physically)

@shazam117: Lobo and John Stewart are good guesses. But Dwayne just seems a bit unfitting for Cyborg. If anything Cyborg should be played by a younger actor like Mechad Brooks or Chadwick Boseman.

I can see him as Black Adam but also Hawkman for some reason....
