“Hercules,” the latest film from director Brett Ratner (“X-Men: the Last Stand,” “Tower Heist”), is set to hit theaters August 8, 2014, according to a statement released by Paramount and MGM.
The flick, based on the graphic novel, “Hercules: The Thracian Wars,” from writer Steve Moore, features Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson in the titular role.
According to the studio, Johnson plays “a mercenary who turned his back on the gods following the loss of his family, finding solace only in battle.” Filming for the Ryan Condal screenplay will likely begin sometime later this year.
Johnson also stars in “Fast and Furious 6” which opens in May, and alongside Mark Wahlberg in “Pain and Gain” which opens April 26.
