Dwayne Johnson Was Offered TRANSFORMERS 4 Role Before Mark Wahlberg
During a recent "Rock Talk" question and answer Twitter session with Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson, the actor revealed that Michael Bay asked him to star in Transformers 4 before making the offer to his Pain & Gain co-star Mark Wahlberg. He wasn't able to do it due to his commitment to Brett Ratner's Hercules film. In his own words...
Michael Bay offered me Transformers, but I was unavailable due to Hercules. Then Wahlberg was offered the role.
Personally, I think Johnson should have taken Transformers over Hercules. Out of the two movies, Transformers is sure to be the better film and bigger moneymaker. Johnson has had his share of terrible movies. I imagine Hercules will just be another notch in his belt. It would be great if it ends up being better than how I imagine it turning out!
Transformers 4 will also starJack Reynor, Nicola Peltz,and Stanley Tucci. The film is set to hit theaters June 27th, 2014.
Do you think TRANSFORMERS 4 would be better with Johnson on board instead of Wahlberg?
