The Rock Says He's Doing Another Video Game Movie And People's Guesses Are Wild
Actor Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson says he is doing another video game movie based on a "badass" game that "he's played for years." Impatient to learn which adaptation we're getting, Twitter users took it upon themselves to create some mockups for it, whatever it ends up being.
In a recent interview with Men's Journal, The Rock said that he's involved in an upcoming adaptation of a video game. Without sharing too many details, Johnson said that it's a game he had personally been playing for years and gave a promise "to do right by our gamer friends."
I can’t tell you which game, in particular, we’re doing, but there will be an announcement this year. We’re going to bring one of the biggest, most badass games to the screen -- one that I’ve played for years. I’m really excited to bring it to fans around the world. Of course, we’re going to do right by our gamer friends -- but really we’re just going to make a great movie.
While Johnson has been careful not to reveal the name of the film, users on Twitter held no punches in the game of wild guessing. What's even better, many of guesses – some outlandish and some less so – were packaged as quality memes featuring The Rock and his iconic eyebrow.

One popular guess was Gears of War, as The Rock's impressive physique easily matches that of Marcus Fenix, and the hints provided by the actor about the game being "one of the biggest" and "badass" also seem to fit.

Whether it's actually Gears of War Johnson will appear in or adaptation of some other game, we will learn later this year. All we can do for now is explore some more totally plausible versions, courtesy of Twitter.
