Dwayne Johnson’s ‘Rampage’ may have found its villain.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, ‘Watchmen’ star Malin Akerman is up for a villainous role in Dwayne Johnson’s upcoming video game adaptation.

“Malin Akerman, one of the stars of the Showtime drama Billions, is in negotiations to join Dwayne Johnson in Rampage,” they revealed, “New Line’s adventure project based on the 1980s video game.”

‘Rampage’ is based on the 1980s video game, which features three colossal creatures – a monstrous gorilla, a crocodile, and a wolf in the game – going on a rampage as they destroy various North American cities and landmarks.

But who will Akerman be playing?

It seems they’ve even got the scoop on her character.

“Akerman will play the movie’s villainess, a calculating head of a tech company that is behind the monsters.” They also added that Jake Lacy will be playing her brother.

Of course, she’s joined by an already stellar cast that includes Dwayne Johnson, Naomie Harris, Joe Manganiello, Marley Shelton, Jake Lacy, P.J. Byrne, Jack Quaid, Matt Gerald and Breanne Hill.

Will the movie be any good?

For now, we’ll have to wait and see. But the thought of Dwayne Johnson up against three colossal video game monsters sounds like a win-win. Let’s just hope it doesn’t take itself too seriously.

Brad Peyton will direct ‘Rampage’ based on a script by Ryan Engle, Carlton Cuse, Ryan Condal, and Adam Sztykiel.

‘Rampage’ heads to cinemas on 20 April 2018.
