Dwayne Johnson Shares a New Hercules Photo

October 24, 2013

Dwayne Johnson is back on Twitter today with another look at his title character in director Brett Ratner’s Hercules. As you can see in the photo below, this is one of our first good looks at the demigod’s face.

Johnson also reveals that, now fully wrapped on Hercules, he has officially stepped in front of the camera to begin shooting James Wan’s Fast & Furious 7.

Hitting theaters on July 25, 2014, the action adventure also stars Ian McShane, Rufus Sewell, Joseph Fiennes, Peter Mullan, John Hurt, Rebecca Ferguson, Ingrid Bolsø Berdal, Aksel Hennie, Reece Ritchie and Tobias Santelmann. The film is based on the Radical Studios graphic novel “Hercules: The Thracian Wars.”

Haunted by a sin from his past, Hercules has, in the film, become a mercenary. Along with five faithful companions, he travels ancient Greece selling his services for gold and using his legendary reputation to intimidate enemies. But when the benevolent ruler of Thrace and his daughter seek Hercules’ help to defeat a savage and terrifying warlord, Hercules finds that in order for good to triumph and justice to prevail… he must again become the hero he once was… he must embrace his own myth… he must be Hercules.

Fast & Furious 7, meanwhile, is set for a July 11, 2014 release.
