New Look At Dwayne Johnson's HERCULES Costume In Latest BTS Still

We still don't have a frontal shot of Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as Hercules, but the WWE star-turned-actor has tweeted another behind-the-scenes still from the set of Brett Ratner's graphic novel adaptation that gives us our best look at his costume from behind.

Everyone knows the legend of Hercules and his twelve labors. Our story begins after the labors, and after the legend… Haunted by a sin from his past, Hercules has become a mercenary. Along with five faithful companions, he travels ancient Greece selling his services for gold and using his legendary reputation to intimidate enemies. But when the benevolent ruler of Thrace and his daughter seek Hercules’ help to defeat a savage and terrifying warlord, Hercules finds that in order for good to triumph and justice to prevail… he must again become the hero he once was… he must embrace his own myth… he must be Hercules.

Hercules stars Dwayne Johnson, Aksel Hennie, Rufus Sewell, Ian McShane, Joseph Fiennes, John Hurt, Rebecca Ferguson and Tobias Santelmann. The film is set to hit theaters July 25th, 2014.

For a second there i thought he was wearing a tank top/wife beater

Still not sure on this movie, though looks better than the recent "Hercules 3D/Twilight" photos. Have to see some footage first!

TheAmazingSpidey63 - 7/23/2013, 7:45 AM

Holy shit, now that is one herculean dude.

TopCat89 - 7/23/2013, 7:45 AM

Rock's arm is bigger than Dante Spinotti's body....

MalteseFalcon - 7/23/2013, 7:52 AM

he big as hell

LFANCH - 7/23/2013, 7:53 AM

Too bad the rock didn't get into shape for this movie.

supermarioworldE - 7/23/2013, 7:54 AM

You sure he's not playing Atlas?

ParisSun - 7/23/2013, 7:56 AM

@DonJon, you are right. The Rock is a beast, a freakin tank. I could see him as Luke Cage w/ Jason Statham as Iron Fist.

knocturnalzen10 - 7/23/2013, 7:56 AM

he really needs to slow down on those deer antlers

deamon - 7/23/2013, 7:58 AM

The Rock for Apocalypse!!!

Havensent - 7/23/2013, 8:00 AM

The Rock is freaking gigantic! Sheesh.

I hope this turns out well for one of my favorite people in the world. : )

RJ4651 - 7/23/2013, 8:01 AM

Rock is huge, perfect CBM villain material. Liked him in faster and the rundown but other than that he's just an ok actor.

ATrueHero1987 - 7/23/2013, 8:01 AM

@Squaremaster how do you know? You read the script? Visited the set?

GUNSMITH - 7/23/2013, 8:03 AM

DUDE WHY DIDN'T HE DO CONAN???? MAMOA IS JUST AS GOOD BUT I THOUGHT ROCK COULD TOTALLY DO CONAN AFTER SCORPION KING...

RJ4651 - 7/23/2013, 8:04 AM

Wouldn't it be ironic if the rock were cast as the thing? Wouldn't need much make-up either lol

whoa123 - 7/23/2013, 8:05 AM

Holy f*ck, The Rock looks like a f*cking rock!

Shadowelfz - 7/23/2013, 8:08 AM

Love the rock but I cant in good conscious support a director who so throughly shat upon the x-men franchise. That goes for Singer too.

GarMogoth - 7/23/2013, 8:14 AM

Needs to be Luke Cage

hartley07 - 7/23/2013, 8:19 AM

Scorpion King 5

MarvelChile - 7/23/2013, 8:26 AM

This is Scorpion King with other title, no?

Akercocke - 7/23/2013, 8:26 AM

He looks as big as prime Ahnold, but the Rock's like 3 inches taller. Huge guy. I remember a picture of him with Brock Lesnar and Brock looked small and the Rock wasn't as big as he is now. Scary.

TheEqualist - 7/23/2013, 8:28 AM

Beast mode

JatevinM - 7/23/2013, 8:30 AM

Seriously can this guy play Kratos already.

dmm5 - 7/23/2013, 8:38 AM

@ParisSun- 100% AGREE

gambgel - 7/23/2013, 9:04 AM

I just..... dont like this actor for Hercules

honestly, I dont care anything about him as an actor, and I have no interest to see his action movies.

No hate, its just that I preffer other type of actors, with a different and better catalogue and other type of movies

BlackMamba - 7/23/2013, 9:07 AM

Damn he is HUGE. The ROCK should have been casted as Bane in TDKR. Just imagine him breaking Bale's back over his knee. Also given Rock's 6'5" stature, Christopher Nolan would not have to shoot all his scenes from the ground up (at a angle) as he did with Tom Hardy.

JoshBerger - 7/23/2013, 9:08 AM

That costume is gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

JettJagguarrr - 7/23/2013, 9:23 AM

I'm calling it right now and I mean no disrespect to any of the African Americans on this sight.....DC and MARVEL will start their biddings on the Rock to play one of the characters in a future movie for sure....Kinda like MANDINGO!!

BIGBMH - 7/23/2013, 9:30 AM

So much teasing for a movie that not very many people are excited about.

BlackPhillip - 7/23/2013, 9:46 AM

Rock for Cage!

NeoBaggins - 7/23/2013, 9:52 AM

BlindJustice - 7/23/2013, 10:14 AM

Has anyone been watching the 'Hero' show he hosts? 90% of those people on that show are complete idiots.

@NeoBaggins - Those remind me of some of the drama-queens from when I played basketball.
