10 Marvel Characters Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Could Play In The MCU

8. Tryco Slatterus

The Rock Hercules

Should The Rock take a role within the Marvel Cinematic Universe, he will not be the first former WWE champion to do so. Since 2014, Dave Bautista has portrayed Drax the Destroyer, one of the more physically intimidating heroes in the franchise, but The Rock could bring someone to life to match him.

Along with the likes of the Grandmaster, the Collector, and the In-Betweener, Tryco Slatterus was one of the incredibly powerful Elders of the Universe in the comics, and was trusted with the Power Stone before Thanos began his quest.

The being known as the Champion is one of the oldest living beings in the universe, and during his fight with Thanos, summoned the pure strength to shatter an entire planet with an elbow drop. This character has Dwayne Johnson’s name written all over it.

Slatterus’ entire personality boils down to proving that he is the strongest being alive, and has defeated the likes of Hercules, Beta-Ray Bill, She-Hulk, and Drax the Destroyer in single combat. Can you imagine an MCU battle between Dave Bautista’s Drax and The Rock’s Champion?!
