Dwayne Johnson to play a superhero?

Los Angeles -  Dwayne The Rock Johnson has hinted he will star in a superhero movie.

The Fast & Furious 6 actor revealed he has met with Warner Bros. about starring in a movie based on a DC Comics property in a Twitter Q&A session earlier this week, but he has yet to reveal which popular comic book character he may play.

He wrote: "We just had a big meeting w/ Warner Bros CEO re: @DCComics 2014 we will partner up and create the cool bad assery. #RockTalk (sic)"

DC Comics is behind iconic superheroes such as Batman, Superman and Wonder Woman, who will all appear in the upcoming Man of Steel sequel set for 2015. The film is currently Warner Bros' only announced DC Comics-based movie.

The flick will star Henry Cavill as Superman, Ben Affleck as Batman and Johnson's Fast & Furious co-star Gal Gadot as Wonder Woman.

Meanwhile, the 41-year-old action star says his favourite movie role is his upcoming part as Greek god Hercules in Brett Ratner's epic adventure movie, which will be released later this year.

Johnson wrote: "My fav role of all time without a doubt is HERCULES. 10 years of hard work & slow prep for the role. Summer 2014. #RockTalk (sic)"
