Thanks to Latino Review which received the image from Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson's Twitter account, where he posted an image of himself holding a heavy weapon of some sort. Though not officially stated, this could very well be the first image of him as the character 'Roadblock', which he will portray in the upcoming G.I. Joe sequel, G.I. Joe: Retaliation. Check it out below:

Found my gun today! M249 SAW. Guess who/what I envision in my crosshairs?

grif@ i guess this will be one of those reboots where they kinda reboot it but still continue the last film.
Like the new Ghost Rider.

This movie will be crap if he's not carrying around a .50 cal and bustin' rhymes.

This script for this one is by the Zombieland/Deadpool writers. So it may have a chance, actually.

Hey, save the word "Retaliation" for Resident Evil movies, where they are more appropriate.

Retaliation is a too serious a word for a toy soldiers movie.

@doc I got news 4 u, a .50 cal or M2E2 / M2A1
is a 2 man weapon, u don't want to carry it around. thats why u always see it mounted to a hummv, tank etc.
I can tell u that it will tear your body apart LITERALLY!!!

I'm hoping that this movie captures the spirit of the old 80s TV show and comics, unlike the last one, which was nothing but attaching the GI Joe name to a generic paramilitary squad story.

And let's try outfitting the characters right this time. The Joes were a colorful bunch wearing a variety of clothes or military uniforms befitting their character. It's not like comic book costumes which can allegedly be difficult to replicate in the 'real' world.

As for our picture of The Rock as Roadblock, this is a step in the right direction. He's at least got a big gun. I'm with Doc- I hope Roadblock is busting some rhymes. That was one of the most likable and unique things about the character.

@rdoughty1 I'd almost bet money this will be a line in the movie.

I thoroughly enjoyed the first one.
It's lame they're bringin' back Storm Shadow, even though he's a bad-ass charachter. (why kill 'em in the 1st place)
They should also put more emphasis on snakes in the next one. I HATE SNAKES!

Jeez the Rock looks yoked...I think the dude is bigger now than he was during his WWE days.

They should of had The Rock play Bane in the new Batman Movie. At least he is an actual big guy and not smaller than batman like the current actor.

What if....just what if this is actually a pic of bounty hunter Luke Hobbs looking for Toretto & O'Conner in Europe...just saying.

Shooting copies of the first movie I presume.

Its the Rock with a gun and camo pants. If its not him as Roadblock you at least get a pretty good idea of what's in store.

He clearly said: "Found my gun". So it's a picture of weapons training/trying for the movie taken during a fun day in the sun! They probably told him: Here Rock, try this one! And he went: Now THAT'S the People's Gun!

@Tay
Because he's still The Rock.

DJ is the only cat I've seen who's able to make the SAW look like a regular sized assault rifle. lol

G.I.Joe 2 will (hopefully) defecate all over the 1st movie. It's sad when the animated movie is better than the live-action one.

As long as the jumpsuits are gone for the Joes, I am okay with it.

If he doesn't rhyme, this is a fail.

@Fearless, he's half samoan and half black. I'm tired of people asking this question on here everytime the Rock is announced in something. Google is your friend.
