Dwayne Johnson discusses his new film, ‘Hercules’

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson took a moment to talk about the movie, Hercules. He spoke on Monday at CinemaCon, a movie-theater convention in Las Vegas.

Johnson told the Associated Press, “Paramount, MGM and I made a pact. We wanted to make a massive global and entertaining movie while doing all we could to never reveal the actual look of Hercules."

Johnson, 41, plays the son of Zeus in the film. Physical transformation is nothing new to the muscle man, and the actor says he has enjoyed training for Hercules. On his Twitter page, he let his fans in on his diet and prep. He also posted a photo that shows his shoulder-length hair, and a beard, wearing armor. Near the photo, he wrote, “The world's first superhero. (hash)TilDeathOrVictory.”

According to The Huffington Post, the movie is directed by Brett Ratner. The movie director is known for his action films, and has previously directed Tower Heist, Red Dragon, and Rush Hour 2.

Hercules is due out in movie theaters on July 25.
