Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has got to be one of Hollywood's busiest stars right now but despite his ultra-packed schedule, it's quite evident that the former WWE megastar is in love with his craft and he seems to be enjoying everything he does. One of his most awaited projects is the upcoming Black Adam film which marks the actor's first comic book role but in a stunning turn of events, The Rock has been cast in another DC project and is set to play another comic book icon.

Deadline reports that Johnson will be voicing Superman's trusty canine companion Krypto the Superdog in the upcoming animated film DC League of Super-Pets. The film will put the spotlight on the superpowered pets of other DC icons like Batman, Wonder Woman, and more with the rest of the flick's voice cast expected to be announced in the coming days. Other details about the project remain under wraps at this point but it's worth noting that the project will come out months prior to the premiere of Black Adam.



It may seem a little weird to see the actor in two separate DC projects both hitting cinemas in the same year but hey, at least they aren't set in the same shared universe. Personally, I feel really ecstatic that The Rock is fully embracing the world of superheroes and comic books, and when you think about it, him being part of a huge franchise like DC is long overdue because there's always a place for a star of his caliber in any film universe.


DC League of Super-Pets is set to be released on May 20, 2022.
