Yesterday Johnson teases us with a new picture on his twitter:



Good hang time w/ my bud Kevin Tsujihara (Warner Bros). Brilliant CEO & guy's guy. We'll do some big cool things!;)


Should Warner Bros. cast Johnson in one of their DC adaptations, they would be hard-pressed to find a star with as glowing a track record, maybe he can play an antihero Lobo or a villain like Black Adam.

The Rock is the "Franchise Reviver." He just has the touch.

Dwayne should play Luke Cage.

He's perfect for Namor. I wish he had done it years ago when he first started, but now he'll look like an older Namor (which is ok if they didn't want a younger Namor)

Black Adam would be a good fit for Dwayne but I doubt a SHAZAM movie will ever occur.

A LOBO movie would be cool & he is big enough to look the part,plus he's good enough actor to portray that maniac...ya don't need to be oscar caliber actor to be the main man.

Yes he is perfect for Black Adam. And a Shazam movie could happen.... Maybe that's why they are pushing Shazam in Justice League War.

Get The Rock as Black Adam and a Captain Marvel movie would fit right into a 2016 summer.

Lobo ... But not in PG 13 movie.

Adapt The Last Czarnian on screen god dammit.

In fact ... if DC/Warner is going for more serious tone with their movies ... i don't see the problem why Lobo should not be a part of their cinematic universe. Lobo is an anti - hero. After JLA people will be wanting something different. Then comes Lobo ... Boom

I am probably the only one but I always thought Lobo should be played by Jason Momoa.







I also thought Alexander Siddig would make for a great Black Adam or Ra's Al Ghul.









That all being said I would love to see Dwayne Johnson in a DC film. He is great in every film he is in. Plus he is not that bad of an actor too.

Over a year ago, he signed on to star the adaptation of IDW's comic book LORE, which is being made as a tent-pole franchise starter at Warner Bros.

I bet that's just now going forward.
