No Serpentor. I think that would take the series in the complete wrong direction. I think that they need to be careful about how far they go in the fantasy direciton if they want to keep a broader audience interested. Serpentor worked in the comics and sort of worked in the cartoon - but I think it would be very hard to present him in any sort of believable light in a live action movie.
That said, I think that Dwayne Johnson has become a very good actor as he has moved away from his wrestler roots. I don't know how broadly he's been tested by his roles, but I think that anybody who still sees him as a wrestler needs to take a second look. |

If this movie is any indication. It will probably happen. There has only been ONE good casting and that was Ray Park for Snake-Eyes. Everyone else BLOWS!

I don't want the Rock to do it because I don't think he fits the role, it's not a knock against his acting abilities. He's developing into a servicable character actor. He's not regal enough and doesn't have a leadership charisma. The Rock is certainly charismatic, but I think it's more "friendly" then "leader".

Personally I like the rock, hes a much better actor than he EVER was a wrestler, but not for serpentor...mainly cause of what summers did at the end of mummy 2 instead of having the rock walk out and throw down with frasier and vosloo he stuck him in this horribly BAD CGIED half scorpion thing and if sommers directs anything with serpentor im afraid he'd do something liek that so no i dont want to see the rock as serpentor...he deserves better. Serpentor i see as one of two men...Brock Lesner or Vinnie Jones.

Vinnie Jones... now we're getting closer. Has the commanding presence, but not regal enough. Also a little too "run away from him" then "follow him".
Serpentor is a hard character to cast. He needs to be regal looking, a kingly presence. He also needs to be "built", have a physical presence. He needs massive amounts of charisma, and not the "this guy is cool" kind but the "this guy just told us to jump off the mountain, race you to the edge" kind.

King Arthur himself, why not Russell Crowe?
