Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has been rumored to play a DC Comics character in a movie for quite some time now. In an interview with Comic Book Resources, Johnson seemingly confirmed the news but was quite vague about the details.

Firstly, here's what he said when asked about the rumor that he would play John Stewart/Green Lantern in either Justice League or Batman vs. Superman:

"So, you know, there's been mutual interest with myself and DC for many years to find the right character. I, like everyone here in the room, love superheroes. So there's been mutual interest with us for years, and we've been having ongoing discussions, myself and DC, for years about the right character, what the right character would be. That's another thing, too: It had to be right." 

The site then asked for more details about the character, and Johnson listed some of his main qualities without actually specifying the role:

"The first quality we were looking for was that he had to be extremely complex and have a lot going on. What that does for me as an actor and the studio is it gives us space that we can explore; his complexities. The other quality was that he had to - the character we were looking for had to be well-known but never brought to life. Then what that does again as an actor, it gives me a little bit of space, and we talked about personality. It just gives me a chance to put an imprint into his personality, with the set of tools that I could bring to the table and put a very unique twist on his personality, but still pay homage to who he is. The third thing - and most important - is he had to be a badass mother*cker, OK, and on a Superman level of power, where [he] could throw down. In those three qualities, I'm happy we've found that character."

This leaves a whole host of possibilities. Any guesses? Let us know in the comments below.
