"Am I interested? Absolutely," Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson told Hey U Guys at the UK premiere of G.I. Joe: Retaliation earlier this evening when asked about those recent rumblings that he's after a role in J.J. Abrams' Star Wars: Episode VII. "Who would I like to play? Well...that would be up to J.J.! I love how this whole story by the way has morphed into this reality that I'm gonna be in Star Wars! I love J.J., I'm a big, big fan of Star Wars and he is gonna be awesome directing it." When the site put it to him that he would be a good choice to take on a role in the next Bond, he said: "Skyfall is one of the greatest action movies of all-time to be in. Loved Daniel Craig. Would love to be a Bond baddie for sure! You know, my grandfather was in 'You Only Live Twice'. He was a Bond baddie." Finally, it sounds as if Johnson isn't as interested in a role in The Expendables 3 as we initially thought. "Expendables 3? They're not ready for me! They're not ready for this ass kickin'!" Be sure to sound off with your thoughts on this in the usual place!
