Dwayne Johnson says Hercules would "knock Superman into next week".
The 42-year-old actor stars as the Greek hero in the Brett Ratner film of the same name and claims his character would definitely win in a fight against comic book superhero Superman.
Quizzed on who he thinks would win in a fight between his Hercules and ‘Man of Steel’ star Henry Cavill’s Superman, he told Digital Spy: "I know Henry very well, he’s a buddy of mine, and who would win in a fight between Hercules and Superman? Just to be clear, you’re talking about my Hercules against Henry’s Superman? [Yes].
"I would take my club and I would knock Superman into next week and then I would whoop his ass for leaving. That’s what I would do."
The ‘Fast & Furious 7’ actor went on to insist that Hercules is the original and best superhero as he doesn’t hide behind a disguise.
He explained: "I think at his core, the idea and the notion that he accepts who he is … he accepts the man who he was born to be. I think that type of notion is profound to all of us whether we’re men or women.
"But it’s that power that we have … the most powerful person you can be is yourself and it takes us a long time to get there and in this case it’s taken Hercules thousands of years, but he still got there."
