Hopefully he'll be wondering around the desert, fall in a hole and come out as Black Adam.

The rock is a freaking beast, he was an animal in Fast Five, that fight between him and Vin was pretty awesome!

The Rock is a natural badass, the first movie sucked and he might be the only thing worth watching in the new one.

WTF!? isn't that the same type of get up Bane is wearing in the The Dark Knight Rises?, cargo pants with knee guards, and a big body armor vest???

Looks better on the Rock thou cause he's a big guy.

At least it looks like they're getting away from those generic paramilitary outfits from the first one. It's not like the Joes' outfits would be that difficult to duplicate onscreen. I just hope we get Roadblock speaking in rhyme.

He's cool, but the movie is probably still gonna suck.

I hope Channing Tatum knocks the accent down a notch or two.

@ fsucsu- I know, my wife will go to any movie this guy is in and oddly I feel the same way!

Ummm...M249 SAW is a Light Machine Gun that anyone can carry. Roadblock is the heavy machine gunner. Man up Rocky and tote M240 or at least M60.

Annnd...You know this how? Did you get into a DeLorean with Doc Brown and fly to the future? That one picture of the Rock make it look ten times as better as Captain America. He actually looks like a Joe. I will hold my thoughts on the movie until I actually see it.
