In anticipation of the forthcoming X-Men: Apocalypse, fanboy and professional artist Lucas Parolin has conceived a design of the titular villain that could be worthy of the big-screen. And while actor Tom Hardy is being eyed to play Apocalypse in the 2016 X-Men sequel, Parolin has envisioned Dwayne Johnson in the role. Check out the art below, and the artist's inspirations after the jump!

That's sad too. The Rock is Hollywood's Go-To-Egyptian-That-Isn't-Egyptian.

I love how they have Mystique clinging onto the guy. Really hope that this is the Mystique we get in XM:A as for Wolverine, I'm still a bit skeptical on exactly who's side he'll be showcased on. Wouldn't mind seeing the entire Death thing played out.

Looks good. Reminds me a bit of Ronin though.

Looks really cool. Like the look. A little odd. Hope the traditional comic look is incorporated.

Cool art. But the Rock?!

The Rock is perfect for Black Adam but he's not someone I would cast in many villainous roles.

It looks like Brainiac from the DC online game. [frick] that design. Marvel did Thanos justice, so Fox shouldn't be afraid to do Apoc the way he should look.

I like the concept a lot.

Looks like a Mirelurk King from the Fallout series.

But its in line with "looking nothing like the source material" so I guess Fox have greenlighted this with which ever actor they choose.

I dont usually fancast......but Christopher Judge from the Stargate series. I always thought he would be perfect for Apocalypse.

@ThePowerCosmic- the Rock, "a goofball"??? LMAO! I don't know if this is a nod to his acting skills or a sign of your ignorance!!! This guy kicked ass in the WWE (yeah it's fake, but I bet it still hurts), and he does a couple kid-friendly films & comedies and you think he's a goofball??? You just made my day Mr. Radd. On another note, that look is like a 5 out of 10. A healthy start and great for a novice, but nothing like I'd want to see (which is ironic because it's exactly what I'd expect from FOX). My two cents...

The Rock is actually a good actor. Watch Pain and Gain for proof. Under right direction, he would kill it. I didn't even think about Dwayne for this role cause on paper it sounds ridiculous but that concept art is goddamn amazing!

I don't [frick] with this they should go with the X-Men: Legends look or the classic comic book look.

Wow! that´s impressive...and nightmare inducing!

now I know i don´t want to see a realistic Cameron Hodge, the villain from X-tinction agenda.

The Rock can play Strong Guy, but not Apocalypse.

I could see Tom Hardy or any bald guy's head in there. Just digitally grow him, like they did with the Frost Giants in Thor.

Ain't happening, but nice art! On that note though, may I submitt for approval, Kevin Greivoux (Raze in the Underworld films, voice of Black Beetle in Young Justice, and a damned fine writer) for the role. And if not, then give him Darkseid.
