It’s Official! Dwayne Johnson IS Doc Savage
While director Shane Black (Iron Man 3, The Nice Guys) has stated in the past that he was hoping to garner superstar Dwayne Johnson to play the titular pulp hero Doc Savage, a post on The Rock’s Facebook page has now made his casting official! Check out the post below, in which the actor makes a smart breakdown of why the “Man of Bronze” is such an important character (he’s basically the world’s first superhero), whom Johnson calls “A F*CKING HILARIOUS WEIRDO!”
It's OFFICIAL: For all comic book fans you already know the world's first superhero (pre-dating Superman) is the "Man of Bronze" himself Clark "Doc" Savage.
Want to thank my bud director/writer Shane Black and his writing team Anthony Bagarozzi and Chuck Mondry for flying in from LA and sitting with me and our Seven Bucks Productions's producer Hiram Garcia on this Memorial Day weekend to chop up creative and break story on this very cool project.

I called it! I just thought the more popular comic book character would be Punisher. But I was the one who said that Shazam (sp?) was not in stone. Turns out this one he will be is popular to comic book fans.

Idk about comics but Doc Savage was a titan in the pulp fiction industry. My dad has hundreds of the pulps

He's from the same pulp comic era as The Shadow, The Avenger, The Phantom, Flash Gordon, Conan the Barbarian, Buck Rogers etc.

I hope this doesn't mean he is out as Black Adam in Shazam.

El Borak is missing from that list. (I plan on reading those soon). El Borak is kinda like the proto-Indiana Jones.

I'd argue that John Carter, Warlord of Mars was the first "super hero". He had super powers and was the model that so many heroes after him were based off.
As a kid I read 5-6 Doc Savage novels. I loved them then, full of action, James Bond like gadgets, and pure "good vs evil" story lines. Recently I went back and re-read some of them. They don't hold up well to a mature mind. They are pretty simplistic and formulaic. But, I'll go see the movie out of nostalgia.
Oh, and as I kid in the 70's I begged my Dad to take me to see Doc Savage: Man of Bronze. It was playing at the Robert E. Lee theatre and was a great adventure for me and my younger brother.
