Dwayne Johnson Wants To Play Superheroes


Dwayne Johnson might be an ex-wrestler but there was a point where he was going to be the next American action star. He even got the "torch" passed onto him from Arnold in the decent flick The Rundown. Johnson went the other direction into Hulk Hogan territory doing nothing but horrible films for kids. Now it looks like Dwayne could be returning to serious action films. He's already starring in the R-rated film Faster and recently talked to L.A. Times about jumping into the superhero genre.


While we've heard him rumored for Captain Marvel and villain Black Adam. The reporter likes the idea of him in roles of Marvel heroes Luke Cage and Namor. Johnson would be such an improvement from Tyrese Gibson for Luke Cage. I could even see him playing Namor as long as the film was done seriously.

"We've been active in talking to these different companies and these different studios about making that happen and finding what makes sense. There's so much there and so much untapped. I'm sure it will happened. We've worked to develop good relationships with the studios heads and executives."
