The Rock has posted a frontal shot from his highly-anticipated movie Hercules, which hits the big screen later this summer. With the trailer dropping this week, Dwayne Johnson decided to unveil the look he will be sporting in the titular role. Let’s put it this way, I wouldn’t want to mess with this dude! Here is how The Rock describes the photo on Twitter: “EXCLUSIVE first look..#HERCULES The world’s first superhero. #TilDeathOrVictory.” Check out the rest of the gallery to see what else The Rock has got cooking for what is sure to be one of the biggest movies of the summer.

Make-Up
From The Rock: “A 3 hour daily process w/ multi-time Academy Award nominates hair & make up artists. A real pleasure watching these artists at work transforming me into HERCULES. #TheArtReflectsTheArtist”Outside the crazy shooting schedule, The Rock also had to go on a strict diet and train twice a day, as well as go through 3-4 make-up sessions to inhabit the character of Hercules. Hard work and dedication!

Role Model
From The Rock: “Thank you Isaac Andrews for your hard work and this awesome note! You’re a great boy & you should be very proud of your performance – you played the role of “Arius” brilliantly. Keep up the great work! #HERCULESMovie (as your role model I will not give you anymore chocolate before our big scenes;). #WayTooHyperAt3am”
Taking time in the middle of it all to inspire the next generation. Way to go, The Rock!

Detail
From The Rock: “For HERCULES we’re very fortunate to have the best movie designers in the world. All respecting Greek mythology thru their incredibly detailed work & craftsmanship. This weapon is an example of that respect thru detail. #SonOfZeus #12Labors #Savage”
The devil is in the details, and it looks like the Hercules team did their homework for this project.

Chivalry
From The Rock: “I may be intense, profoundly dirty minded & love my tequila. But I’m always a gentleman to my lady. #TheChivalrousSilverback #GotU #MakeMeASammichWoman”
There’s no point in being buiit like a man if you don’t act like one. The Rock shows the way here.

Setting the Scene
From The Rock: “The most amazing movie set I’ve ever stepped foot on. A year to build. Size of a football stadium. Truly an honor playing this role. #SonOfZeus #HomageToGreece #Mythology #HERCULESMovie”
Again, it looks like not shortcuts were taken in trying give Hercules as much of an authentic feel as possible.

Goals
From The Rock: “A 300 BC Demigod. An award winning team of movie designers who honor the mythology and director in @brettrat who’s hungry to deliver an epic film to the world. #HERCULESMovie #Summer2014 #12LaborsAintNoJoke”

Presence
From The Rock: “Fear not the night. Fear that which walks the night. And I am that which walks the night. But only evil need fear me.. and gentle souls sleep safe in their beds” #HERCULESMovie Summer 2014″
Methinks that The Rock’s Hercules is going to kick some serious ass in this movie

Battle
From The Rock: “THANK YOU to my ‘Thracian soliders’ – days of energy & intensity. Your hard work & effort will make this scene epic. #PreBattleSpeech #TilDeathOrVictory #HERCULESMovie”
I wouldn’t fancy meeting a pack of these Thracian soldiers in a dark alley!
