The new movie, which will see Johnson playing the DC anti-hero known for his disregard of rules and conventions, also stars Aldis Hodge as Hawkman, Noah Centineo as Atom Smasher and Quintessa Swindell as Cyclone.

Jaume Collet-Serra, who has worked with Johnson in Disney's "Jungle Cruise", will be directing the project.
