Taking part in a “#RockTalk” Q&A session recently, wrestler turned actor Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson revealed that he will be working with Warner Bros. and DC Entertainment on one of their projects in 2014. Could it be Batman Vs. Superman? After all, that movie has already found a Wonder Woman and several other members of the Justice League are rumoured to appear. On the other hand, it could be one of the studios planned lower-budget adaptations like the recently hinted at Suicide Squad! Either way, this is exciting news for comic book fans as having the Fast & Furious and G.I. Joe: Retaliation star in one of DC’s movies would certainly give them a much needed edge over the extremely successful work being done by Marvel Studios! So, who could the highest grossing actor of 2013 be playing? Here are ten suggestions…
10. Darkseid
Ask any comic book fan who should be the villain in the Justice League movie, and they’ll give you one name: Darkseid. One of the most powerful and evil characters in the DC Universe, the villain hails from Apokolips and uses an army of Parademons in his quest to eliminate all free will from the universe and reshape it into his own image. This has led Darkseid to attempt to conquer Earth on more than one occasion, with the latest – taking place in the pages of the rebooted Justice League – resulting in Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman, The Flash, Green Lantern and Cyborg all coming together as a team for the first time. Casting an actor like Dwayne Johnson would eliminate the need for CGI enhancements as he has the perfect build to come across as the intimidating baddie. It would also give the actor the opportunity to take on an entirely different type of role!
