Dwayne Johnson - Who could he play?

[GhostPoet]

Besides a certain fishy fellow....who else would he do well as a superhero? What character could he most easily pull off?

 

[TheIncredibleSk]

Really to me, it's only Namor. He's the best choice for that.

 

[GhostPoet]

After seeing him in Fast Five, I think he could pull it off.

anyway...

 

[Donnie Darko]

He could be Ares for sure (yes, Ares is technically a Greek god, but I think with Idris Elba in Thor, we have all come to accept deities of different ethnicities). Also, he could work for a few villains, such as Rhino (he would be crazy intimidating and badass) and Juggernaut (hey, he has the size and Juggernaut is Xavier's STEP-brother, so being a different color than white Xavier is no problem).

 

[Ultra Lantern]

Namor

 

[Endeavor]

Miklho

edit - if the character is too obscure for you here you go: http://www.rapsheet.co.uk/rapsheetmain/Character2.asp?UniqueId=1117


That would be right up his alley in the acting ability category.

 

[hellfiremaster]

Give him grey hair and make him Cable.... or Mr. Sinister from the X-men comics.

HFM

 

[Donnie Darko]

they could also make him basically any member of the Wrecking Crew

 

[RockSP]

I've noticed people on various boards suggesting the Namor thing over the years...it's interesting that somehow The Rock seems to be immune to the usual race change controversy.

You guys the same people who wanted Triple H as Thor?

Seriously I'll admit that he is one of the better wrestlers turned actors but I can't see him pulling of the nuances of this character.

Plus he's too damned stocky looking.

 

[RockSP]

^^Not sure why you quoted me...I never stated my opinion on the matter.

 

[Donnie Darko]

I think part of it with The Rock is that he (along with Vin Diesel) has a look about him that isn't really racially specific, if that's a phrase. Like, he isn't ALL white or ALL black or ALL anything, nor does he look it. I was actually thinking that if he did look a little more "black," I'm sure people would be beating down his door to play Luke Cage, but since Cage is one of the few popular black characters in the Marvel Universe, I feel like it would be best if he was played by someone who was specifically identified as black.

 

[Bubonic]

My bad RockSP, you just pointed out that there was buzz about him.
I bet my left nut that at least Marvel Studios would never bank on DJ to carry one of their films. I'll do it on webcam, quote it and save it.
I'll go all pain olympics on myself.

The best, and the most that I could hope for the Rock within the MCU is a secondary character that would allow him to just be his regular tough guy self and not need to actually perform like he'd need to if he were to be Kraven or Tombstone, so yah, maybe one of the Wrecking Crew.

Namor

Why do you want to put a relatively expensive actor for a secondary/villain role? It's a waste of money.

 

[superhero]

i think he looks like he-man if theirmaking new he-man moive i vote for the rock. he
looks just like him

 

[SuperFerret]

I've always liked the idea of him playing the Scorpion.

 

[The Morningstar]

Black Adam

 

[Red.Star.Killer]

Maybe he could play Tombstone?

 

[Rowsdower!]

I think he's too big for Namor, personally. Plus I don't like that character (sorry) so I'd rather see The Rock as someone else. I still love the idea of him as Black Adam in a DC Captain Marvel/Shazam! movie, but since that will probably never happen, I'm not sure where he would fit in the Marvel universe instead. He might make a cool Apocalypse if they have had the balls to go that route in an X-Men movie. Or maybe Thanos in an Avengers film.

 

[Bubonic]

When has he shown that he can be anyone else but himself in a role?
Sure you can dress him up to look like some Scorpion King, but he still comes off as the Rock.

Anyways I shouldn't get riled up over something I need not worry about.

 

[bubbadoom]

Black Bolt

 

[Bubonic]

Hahah bubbadoom rocks!
But there would be even more acting involved than if he had to speak.

 

[Aesculapius]

Thanos.

 

[Ipodman]

Apocalypse
