Former WWE superstar Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has become one of the most popular actors in box office history. The 41-year old actor used social media to promote his new film "Hercules: The Thracian Wars."

However, what fans really wanted to know is if the rumors he would play a superhero or a super villain for either of the two most popular comic book companies in any of their upcoming movies was true.

"Myself & DC have agreed on a character.. extremely complex, well known (but never played) and a pure BAD A** MF;) #RockTalk .@ThomasEspin," wrote Johnson via Twitter earlier today when asked by a fan which character would he like to play as for either Marvel or DC Comics.

Some fans have speculated for months that Johnson would play the 1970's version of the Green Lantern aka John Stewart. Another fan asked Johnson via Twitter about the possibility of him playing as the Green Lantern.

"Green Lantern (John Stewart) and Black Adam are my fav superheroes, but GL's already been made and stamped. #RockTalk @CFitzyy," tweeted Johnson on his Twitter account this afternoon in response to the fan's question. 

In addition, Johnson also had an interview with IGN today to promote his upcoming "Hercules: The Thracian Wars" movie. In the new interview, he also discussed the reports that linked him to the DC Comics' Justice League superhero.

"Okay, well since you asked. We're all friends. 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," said Johnson to IGN.

"Hercules: The Thracian Wars" film is expected to released in movie theaters on July 25, 2014.
