For some time now, writer\/director Shane Black has been working on bringing the 1930s and 40s pulp hero adventurer Doc Savage and one of the biggest questions among fans of the character has been who will Black get to play him. A precursor to Superman, Doc is a physically fit six-foot, eight-inches tall who is also one of the smartest men in the world, so the role will not only be a physical one, but one that would require the acting chops to convey the character’s charisma and intelligence.<\/p>\n

It appears as if the answer to that question has been found.<\/p>\n

In an Instagram post, Dwayne Johnson showed off his work space while on location in Georgia and in the course of describing his system for keeping track of all his projects stated “On the iPad I’m reading an outline for a cool movie I’ll make in 2017 (with director Shane Black)…”<\/p>\n

While Black does have a number of projects currently in development, Doc Savage<\/strong> seems to be the priority right now. Previously, Black had stated that he would like to see Johnson in the role of Doc.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Johnson is in the midst of wrapping up filming on Baywatch<\/strong> and will be immediately heading to the set of Fast 8<\/strong>, which starts shooting next week. He also has the Jumanji<\/strong> remake, Rampage<\/strong>, San Andreas 2<\/strong> and another season of HBO’s Ballers<\/em> on his immediate “To Do” list.<\/p>\n
