Who might Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson be playing in a DC superhero movie?
Well, here's one we missed in all the New Year's Eve excitement. Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson tweeted something rather tantalizing the other day, and it's definitely got our attention. It appears that the former (well...sometimes former) WWE superstar has plans to get in on the superhero movie action over at Warner Bros. Whether it's a hero or a villain remains to be seen, but Rock promises some kind of "badassery."
We just had a big meeting w/ Warner Bros CEO re: @DCComics 2014 we will partner up and create the cool bad assery. #RockTalk @ActionTilson

In recent years, The Rock was linked to a Shazam movie, likely as Black Adam, the villain. There's also been loose talk of a Lobo film at some point, a role which Mr. Johnson seems uniquely suited for. Whatever it is, it sounds like it may get moving in 2014...which raises the question: could this be a role in the mysterious (and still lacking an official title) Batman vs. Superman flick that's looking more and more like a Justice League movie every day? The Rock isn't known for keeping quiet, so hopefully we'll hear something soon!
We owe a tip of the hat to Total Film for hipping us to this one, by the way.

He'll probably be Black Adam or Cyborg.
