Pic: The Rock gives us a sneak peek at his huge Herculean physique

Hercules – the world's first superhero...

Ahead of the release of the very first trailer for Hercules: The Thracian Wars, the film's star Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson has revealed the first images of the tanked-up titular hero. Directed by Brett Ratner (Rush Hour, Horrible Bosses) and co-starring The Rock's muscles, Ian McShane, John Hurt and even more of The Rock's muscles, Hercules: The Thracian Wars is an action adventure film that will tell the tale of the tormented, earth-bound Demigod. Move over Thor, because there's a new beautifully-bequiffed behemoth in town. Because he's worth it...
