Dwayne Johnson to play Doc Savage in upcoming Shane Black adaptation
Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson spent his Memorial Day weekend finalizing plans for his participation in the upcoming film "Doc Savage," after posting a message about it on his Instagram account.
In a relaxed photo with director Shane Black and his writing team and producers, Johnson posted: "It's OFFICIAL: For all comic book fans you already know the world's first superhero (pre-dating Superman) is the 'Man of Bronze' himself Clark 'Doc' Savage.
The big-screen adaptation of "Doc Savage" will spin off from the 1930s and 40s novel "The Man of Bronze."
Sony made the deal with Black to co-write and direct the film back in 2013, according to Deadline. Anthony Bagarozzi and Chuck Mondry co-wrote the screenplay with Black, while Johnson will produce with his Seven Bucks Productions, alongside Hiram Garcia.
