Dwayne Johnson shared a new photo from his upcoming action flick Hercules on Twitter.
The busy actor is apparently taking a cue from Fast and Furious 6 co-star Vin Diesel. Instead of letting the studio do all of the early promotional work, Johnson is getting folks fired up about the project by releasing a steady stream of images on Twitter.
Dwayne Johnson will tackle the title role in Rush Hour director Brett Ratner’s big-budget adaptation of Hercules . Instead of incorporating some of the more fantastic elements found in the Arnold Schwarzenegger films, this version of the classic hero will reportedly be a bit more grounded.
The latest Hercules photo shared by the G.I. Joe: Retaliation star puts the focus on the film’s elaborate sets. According to Johnson, award-winning designer Jean-Vincent Puzos was tasked with bringing the world of Hercules to life. You can find the black-and-white photo embedded below.
“I sit in awe,” the actor wrote on Twitter .
Jean-Vincent Puzos has served as production designer on a number of memorable motion pictures. His big-screen credits include 10,000 B.C. , The Cat’s Meow , and the Nicolas Cage thriller Lord of War . His work on Hercules: The Thracian Wars should be a feast for the eyes.
Although Dwayne Johnson has shared a number of photos from the upcoming flick on Twitter, he hasn’t given fans a good look at his own appearance in the movie. The actor sports long black hair and an impressive amount of muscle in Ratner’s version of Hercules .
Of course, this isn’t the only movie Johnson currently has lined up. The actor is expected to reprise his role as Luke Hobbs in James Wan’s Fast and Furious 7 . Reports also suggest Johnson will tackle the role of Sinbad in an adaptation of Arabian Nights .
