‘Justice League’ Cast Rumors: Dwayne 'The Rock Johnson As Darkseid? Described As 'Superman On Steroids!'

"Batman Vs Superman" has had its share of cast rumors. Now, the rumor mill has unearthed sources for plot spoilers.  These spoilers shed light on some of the cast rumors-until Warner/DC confirms or debunks.

The recent plot spoilers came from a DC animated film, "Justice League War." The film depicts the origin of the Justice League, or how they actually band together.

Of course, there will be some changes, as Director Zack Snyder determines which characters would translate well into the big screen.

One actor that we know would translate well in the big screen is Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson. Johnson is the acknowledged Box-Office star of 2013, a distinction unofficially bestowed by Forbes.com. His films have generated an astounding $1.3 billion in the Box-Office.

These numbers are definitely very attractive for any film studio. The Rock himself has confirmed that he has met with DC for a possible role already.

What Culture has a hunch with the possible role of Dwayne Johnson, based on "Justice League War:"

"The plot of the Justice League will likely mirror, to a degree, that of the animated film so we can expect the plot to revolve around an invasion of Earth by Darkseid (think Superman on steroids). This plot is suitably large enough to pose a real threat to the Earth thus ensuring there is a legitimate reason for Earth's heroes to work together and form the Justice League, as opposed to say, all working together to battle corporate fraud...

As for casting, this is yet to be confirmed, but if you think 'Superman on steroids' you come up with Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson. What is known is that Johnson has signed up to play an as yet unconfirmed role within the DC cinematic universe. With either his age or size making him an impractical choice for either Cyborg (too old) or John Stewart (too big) don't bet against The Rock being the main antagonist of the Justice League and kicking their butts."

Do you see Dwayne Johnson accepting a villain role, even if it's Darkseid? The Justice League movie has yet to be confirmed, and thus, without a release date. "Batman Vs Superman" is on May 6, 2016-the grand Marvel-DC Face-Off.
