Rumour: Marvel wants Dwayne Johnson to play *SPOILER VILLAIN* in upcoming X-Men reboot

Someone with more presence certainly, rather than Muscles Mcgee. Whoever it is is going to be drenched in prosthetics and CG so physical stature shouldn't matter all that much.
Can we just get Oscar Isaac again? I know he plays Moon Knight now, but we can double dip, right?
Just weeks after reports that he cost a movie an extra $50m by consistently showing up late to set?

Really depends how well Deadpool is connected to MCU, because Cable exists.
This. Plus his cachet must be super high.
If you want a tough guy that also seems like a decent person, Alan Ritchson is a fit.
Disney gotta make sure to keep a pee bottle on set for him, when he shows up 3 hours late each day.
How can he play a villain if he can't lose or be punched in a film? Sounds like more BS from MTTS.
I'd rather not. That said it would be hilarious considering Death Battle did have an episode between Black Adam and Apocalypse.
I doubt it and I doubt that they're already looking to bring in Apocalypse when they haven't even introduced the X-Men yet.
Alan would be a monumental leap over Dwayne. Don't get me wrong I'm sure he still has his fans, he must have some draw to keep pulling in deals, but yeah I'm very over him. His range is basically playing himself though so I'm kind of amazed he's grabbed as many roles as he did.
I mean, other than the obvious "The Rock sucks" stuff, doesn't he also have a contract clause where he doesn't allow himself to be seen to lose on screen?
Feels like it might be an issue if you want to cast him in a villain role.

That's usually negotiated per film and the Rock's star power is falling fast enough that he's not going to be able to make those kinds of demands anymore in the near future.
Nobody saw Black Adam.
They'll just make him lose off-screen, Poochie-went-home style.
Interesting! Haven't been keeping up with the ins and outs because I've never really been a big fan of his acting work but I suppose it means this could be possible (for better or worse)
Cosmic MCU by any means necessary
Feels like his PR team trying to distract from the allegations is a toxic dude on set, lol.
If anything Marvel's done is stay away from blockbuster actor casting for big roles. Well known popular actors, sure. But they aren't gonna cut Rock sized checks and Rock has too much of an ego to take that kind of cut for a big movie.
🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮
The guy has no range as an actor and plays a variant of his own narcissistic ass in every film.
