Dwayne Johnson Thinks His Hercules Can Defeat Henry Cavill’s Superman In A Battle

Dwayne Johnson’s latest film, Hercules, hits theaters this Friday. The wrestler-turned-actor has also recently confirmed that he will play an unspecified DC character, with the most recent speculation leading to Shazam. Comic-Con is this week, with Warner Bros. expected to announce its DC Cinematic Universe plans on Saturday. Could The Rock’s character be revealed then? In the meantime, Johnson weighs in on who would win if his Hercules fought Superman.

Speaking with Digital Spy, the actor is asked for his thoughts on the outcome of a fight between his Hercules and Henry Cavill’s Superman. Naturally, Johnson is confident that he would easily take out the Man of Steel. He also interestingly adds that Cavill is a “buddy” of his. A cool coincidence since the two may share the big screen in a DC movie in the near future. Johnson also has interesting things to say about Hercules being the first “superhero,” which you can check out in the video interview below. Who do you think would win in a battle between Hercules and Superman?
