Five visions of Hercules but Dwayne Johnson's is by far the coolest

I just saw this newly released picture of Dwayne Johnson clothed in the skin of the Nemean lion from his upcoming epic, Hercules (pictured immediately below) and it made me think, how many artists have tried to capture Hercules over the years? Beneath the set photo of "The Rock" in his role are a few of the artistic representations.

Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson as Greece's mythical hero.

Here's one called "The Drunken Hercules" by Peter Paul Reubens.

Hercules and Cerberus by Boris Vallejo

Walt Disney's version of Hercules

Hercules vs. the Hydra by Ken Barthelmey

So do you think Dwayne Johnson's version (top picture) is the best? I sure do. I'm actually getting excited to see this picture. I just hope it's better than Clash of the Titans. Dwayne sure is putting a lot of himself into this role. If you want to know more about what I think of Dwayne Johnson and read the Hercules film synopsis, click HERE.
