Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson On HERCULES Vs. SUPERMAN; "I Would Whup His Ass!"
He's rumoured to be up for a role in a future DC Comics movie, but when asked how he thinks Henry Cavill's Superman would fare in a battle with his Hercules, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson claims that the Man of Steel wouldn't stand a chance. Is this a preview of Superman vs. Darkseid in Justice League?
In an interview with Digital Spy, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson was asked who he believes would win in a battle between Hercules and Superman. The question came up as a result of Hercules director Brett Ratner recently stating that he used to pit the two iconic heroes against each other in comic books he created as a child. "I know Henry very well," Johnson revealed. "He's a buddy of mine. Who would win in a fight between Hercules and Superman? Just to be clear, you're talking about my Hercules against Henry's Superman? I would take my club and I would knock Superman into next week, and then I would whup his ass for leaving! That's what I would do. [Laughs]" The Rock has been rumoured to be up for a role in a future DC Comics movie, and many believe we'll see him as Darkseid in Justice League. Could this gentle ribbing be a glimpse at what's to come in that movie? We'll have to wait and see! What do you guys think?
