This would only work if The Rock forgets that he is the Rock

I dont think so. To me, the voice of Kratos, Christopher Judge got the looks & voice of Apocalypse, he is the one to take that role.

[@adampeabody963]

At first I thought the rock would be great until a few have mentioned Christopher Judge who's been kratos. And I think that he coukd bring the same imposing presence as the comic counterpart. He could bring the "testosterone", yes, but in a way that's appropriate for the mcu and especially the character of Apocalypse specifically. The worst thing is for Apocalypse to behave like a wrestler. That would simply be a mockery in multiple ways. The rock can act but the rock cannot act like the rock in wrestling. Christopher Judge is one of the few actors who could give us Apocalypse like we love him. There simply has to be more to the character, and I don't feel like the rock can give that kind of depth. Just compare their careers. In Judge I see an experienced actor who can give proper depth to an imposing character.

[@davekisman2763]

Dwayne Johnson as Black Adam has the powers of the Egyptian Gods, and probably now as Apocalypse who's also an Egyptian God.

[@rubenpat1193]

Bautista as Apocalypse 😮

[@jstnsmutek]

Is invisibility one of his powers?

[@Madeoftea]

Hot take: Dave Bautista is staring them right in the face. Dude is jacked, has the face for it and is THE wrestler who can do dramatic roles like a boss. His take in Dune was intense and perfect

[@guyyadunkno]

If we want the movies to be delayed he’d be perfect

[@tonymontez2358]

This is surprising because Josh is the same guy who says the rock plays the rock in every movie now because feige is interested in the rock this is suddenly a good idea? When will the Kevin feige glazing stop because he initially hated black Adam but now he’s saying it wasn’t bad just to justify this claim

[@eastwood9170]

This is genius. 1st, the Rock has range, he was fantastic in Be Cool (sequel to Get Shorty) 2nd, if they add him and he's a hit and want to use him in more projects, then it sets up for Age of Apocalypse

[@Seanna104]

I'm sorry but after hearing some of the news about The Rock lately, If I were Feige especially after the Jonathan Majors controversy I'd want to avoid any more bad PR and avoid the possibility of workplace drama between co-stars especially if its younger and unkown actors that The Rock simply may not have a mutual respect for just keeping it 100% with you💯🤷‍♀🤷‍♀

[@jstnsmutek]

What news? I've been out of the loop

[@Seanna104]

@@jstnsmutek I guess a few weeks ago The Rock was filming a movie for amazon and it was leaked to the press that this movie had spent 50 million dollars in one day due to unnecessary reshoots because he would not show up anywhere close to the scheduled filming time and they had to separately film the Rocks scenes and his other co-stars scenes, which would then prompt more staff and coworkers who worked with Dwayne Johnson in the past to share similar stories of his diva like attitude and lazy work ethic on set. He apparently pisses in water bottles on set and has his crew deal with it and he doesnt like when staff on set talks to him or even gives him eye contact (similar to Ellen). Me personally I've known way before this slight controversy that The Rock isnt very pleasant to be around.

[@snappyskip9844]

He has the build but not the acting chops for it. He doesn't play different characters he just always plays himself.

[@X-Warrior.1119]

I've always pictured Apocalypse as A Relentless Anti-Hero & Anti-Villain Character. Sometimes he Wins and sometimes he Loses. Dwayne Johnson (AKA) The ROCK, May NOT be that "Oscar-winning Contender" guy but I can picture him as a potential candidate to be APOCALYPSE, if he's willing to make a commitment... BUT what do I know we have to wait and see?!

Apocalypse for the Rock #SinisterCavill

[@evrywerigoable]

He’s the man in his own shadow not in anyone else’s… a one-and-done Wolverine is still an attempt at heroics and we don't need a ton of variant heroes, we need kick-ass bad guys & 1 in particular would make up for 21 years ago when X2 teased Dr.Nathaniel Essex, Dazzler, Wade Wilson/Vanessa, Maximoff, Von Strucker, the cast of New Mutants etc. & even after X2 Apocalypse Origins Deadpool Logan Once Upon a DP2& New Mutants continue to give excessive Essex teases, blatant or indirect, without a reveal to payoff, when the MoM cameos & post-credit scene for The Marvels, & Wandavision all can stem from Von Struckers, Maximoff, & Dr.Nathaniel Essex appearing together on Stryker’s X2 computer, all the way to Age of Ultron. S5 of XTAS shows Mr.Sinister from the 1800s which could very well qualify him to replace Victor Timely as the Multiverse & Mutant Saga big bad simultaneously if Cavill left DC Warner just for Marvel Disney magic to make a monster out the Man of Steel on screen for the first time in a RatedR DP&W. Quietly & Morrison going Superman to XMen, & didn't Miller go to DC via Batman & come to Marvel on Daredevil? That's a full circle of metacommentary so dark it came from the DC universe-side of the multiverse…, his mother’s name is also Martha. If they’d gotten TV’s Flash to cameo as Whizzer from the Forgotten Warriors, iDare Batman 2 trifle with the Devil of Hell's Kitchen, cause Marvel has the Justice League + RockApocalypse SinisterSuperman in a Wolverine & Lanternpool flick

[@charlesdavisaitken]

The rock has range. We've just never seen it outside WWE. John Cena on the other hand showed range in the Peacemaker show. Rock clearly has same improvisatorial skills as Cena. He just has never had a chance to show it outside WWE. Honestly I think Rock got type cast but never really pushes the envelope to show his comedy skills. But I would say Christopher Judge has the same physical attributes as the rock plus a better actor. Plus a dry wit which would suit Apocalypse better.
