Dwayne Johnson has revealed that he would star in a Call of Duty: Black Ops movie.
The wrestler-turned-actor told MTV that he would work on another video game movie if the "right one came along".
"I thought we had an opportunity with Doom," he said. "[It] didn't work out the way we wanted it to, creatively. But yeah, if the right opportunity came along and the script is good, sure."
When asked to name his dream project, Johnson replied: "Black Ops, that'd be badass... Let's make it happen, let's do it. That and Black Swan 2."
Rumours of a Call of Duty film first emerged in early 2009, and were followed up with Soap voice actor Kevin McKidd expressing interest in starring in such a film.
Dwayne Johnson returned to the wrestling world for Wrestlemania XXVII earlier this week.
