Nothing beats Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson's Twitter musings.
Not only is the actor full of priceless quotes, he also shares a stream of photos that showcase his ripped physique and otherworldly workout regimens. In addition to his usual tweets, Johnson gave his followers a cool social-media treat on Tuesday: a behind-the-scenes pic from the set of his latest project, Hercules: The Thracian Wars.

Directed by Brett Ratner, Hercules: The Thracian Wars is slated to hit theaters on July 25, 2014.
Based on the Radical Studios graphic novel of the same name, Hercules also stars Joseph Fiennes and Ingrid Bolsø Berdal as a warrior who fights alongside Hercules.
Set in a world where the supernatural doesn't exist, the ensemble action movie is a revisionist take on the classic Hercules myth. Johnson and his co-stars play mercenaries hired to train the King of Thrace's men to become members of the "greatest army of all time."
Johnson’s latest role follows the recent release of Fast & Furious 6, in which he stars, as well as his small-screen debut on TNT's The Hero. Since filming began for his newest film, Johnson has forgone #TheHero hashtags, and opted instead to tweet out Hercules-related hashtags such as #ZeusApproved.

Judging from Johnson's tweets, Hercules looks like it's shaping up to be pretty intense. What do you think about "The Rock" standing in as the son of Zeus? Let us know in the comments.
