The Rock will be teaming up with DC Comics to star in a new super hero movie. During an interview to promote Hercules, The Rock said there’s a major announcement coming soon regarding the role.
The Rock has been rumored to be starring in movies starring comic book characters Lobo or Green Lantern, but it looks like he’ll be portraying Shazam.
Originally known as Captain Marvel, Shazam is the story of a young boy, Billy Batson, who is granted the power to transform into a Superman-like superhero by simply saying the word ‘Shazam’.
The Rock is coy about the identity of the role, but teases that he’s like Superman and says, “Just say the word.”
