Let's face it. The Rock is going to be in a Marvel or DC at some point. The question is, which one should he play? He's been wanting to play Black Adam and he recently said he may be Lobo. I'll put, in order from best to worst, the role he should take on. If he dosen't fit the role, I'll select the actor I think would do good in the role.
1.Black Adam
This is the perfect character for Dwayne to play. He was to play the part in the Shazam movie, which was cancelled and it may stay that way. Despite this, he wants to play Black Adam, and no one disagrees. Funny how the role he wants the most is in the movie that shows no signs of getting made.
2. Namor
I actually put him in this role for my Avengers 2 fan cast. But I did have a reason. Namor dose bear somewhat of a resemblence to Black Adam, which Dwayne is perfect for. He can certainly pull off Namor's personality. This one may get made, but not in Marvel's Phase 2.
3.Apocalypse
Not to long ago, a rumor surfaced that he was up for a role in a X Men film. Being good friends with Hugh Jackman, that's not suprising. Michael Clark Duncan has been a fan favourtie for the role, but he's no longer with us. Dwayne is a good choice for Apocalypse for his ego alone.
4.Captain Marvel
This is one role he may never get, seeing as how Shazam is getting nowhere. He actually expressed interest in both Adam and Captain Marvel. I wouldn't say no if he was casted, but I pefer Daniel Cudmore for the part. Mainy because he shares a few similarites with Dwayne: They're good actors, neither work for a large paycheck and around six feet. A perfect match in my opinion.
5.Martian Manhunter
To be honest, I never considered him for this role at all. He has the look and he can fight well on camera, but the voice is a bit off. I would consider Laurence Fishburne, Djimon Hounsou, or Doug Jones for this role. Or have the last two play the Manhunter and let Fishburne do the voice.
6.Luke Cage
I think it goes without saying not a lot of people want him in this role. He has the build and the attitude, but there's one big factor going against him getting the role: he's not black. This is another role he expressed interest in. I would honestly consider Henry Simmons or Terry Crews for Cage.
7.Lobo
Out of all the roles, this one is one I can't see him in period. He may have the attitude, but that's it. However, he recently confirmed he was involved with the Lobo film. I don't think it'll work at all. There's been a number of actors considered, the top being choices Mickey Rourke, Kevin Durand, and Jeffery Dean Morgan. I'm good with any of them. Just as long as it gets an R rating.
Well, that's the charcters he should play and the order I think fit's him best. Let me know what you all think.
