Remember those rumors circulating around that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was going to be the new Green Lantern? Well, thanks to some hints from The Rock himself, we can probably scratch Lantern off the list, but who IS he playing? While promoting his upcoming film Hercules at the annual CinemaCon convention in Las Vegas, Johnson shared some details on that super-secret DC role that sounds like it's as close to a done deal as you can get in Hollywood. Though he wouldn't give specifics on which character he would be playing, Johnson did reveal that he is a big superhero fan and there has been mutual interest between him and DC to take on a role for several years, but he had to ensure it was the right role and the character he took on had to fit three specific qualities. The first being he had to be complex and have a lot going on. Okay, not a big clue, but the next quality had to be that he be a well-known character, but never brought to life before. Now this most likely takes Green Lantern off the table, depending on how you look at it. Ryan Reynolds took on the role in the disappointing 2011 film, but he played "Hal Jordan" and not "John Stewart". Same hero, but different character. The final quality Johnson looked for that he also said was most important, was that he had to be a badass you-know-what. And not just badass, but his power had to be on par with none other than Superman. No small task considering Superman is one of the most powerful superheroes out there. So which character could this be? Back in 2012, Johnson announced he was in talks to play Lobo, a character with Superman level powers, but not necessarily "well-known" outside of comic fans. Johnson has also been rumored to be in the running to play Justice League member "Martian Manhunter", who also has skills on par with Superman, but has been "brought to life" on the small screen in Smallville. The same can be said of fellow Justice League member "Cyborg", who Johnson has also been rumored for. Some have also speculated that he could play the powerful "Darkseid" or "Doomsday", but considering both are villains, we're guessing those are highly unlikely. Beyond who he'll play, the other big question is whether or not we'll see him appear in 2016's Batman vs Superman. Most likely not, but it looks like we could be seeing a major battle playing out between longtime rivals DC and Marvel when the film releases. For details on that, be sure to click right here. So now that you hear The Rock's qualities for the DC character he'll be playing, who do you think it will be and do you think we'll see him fighting alongside Superman and the other Justice League members or will it be a standalone film?
