Dwayne Johnson DC Comics Movie

For over a month, rumors have been circulating that Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson will be playing the John Stewart version of Green Lantern in Batman Vs. Superman and/or Justice League. Back in December, Johnson did confirm that he had a meeting with Warner Bros. CEO about a DC Comics project in 2014. With Batman Vs. Superman the only DC Comics film that has been announced to shoot in 2014, speculation naturally turned to that film. Rumors that Johnson would be playing Green Lantern picked up steam again this week after an old Instagram post surfaced, where Johnson used the hashtag #JohnStewartCanStillWhupSupermansAss. IGN reported on the Instagram post with the headline, "Dwayne Johnson Hints That He's Playing Green Lantern." Earlier tonight, Johnson responded to IGN's article by tweeting, "All I said was.. #LanternCanWhupSuperman RT: @IGN: Did @TheRock reveal that he's playing John Stewart/Green Lantern?" While Johnson seems to be dismissing the suggestion that he's hinting at upcoming role by simply using a hashtag, it's not exactly a denial that he'll be playing the character.
