Dwayne Johnson has ordered Ryan Reynolds to play Hawkman

Dwayne Johnson has responded to Ryan Reynolds ruling himself out playing Hawkman in 'Black Adam' - telling Ryan he has to portray the character.

The 'Deadpool' star had taken to social media to deny reports that he is to star as the comic book character in the DC Extended Universe movie, but 'The Rock' insists he has no choice but to be Hawkman.

In response to Reynolds, Dwayne tweeted: "You ARE playing Hawkman and that's that. You're also Deadpool, Green Lantern (when you want because you own the intellectual property), you're in the Zack Snyder JL movie and you're also @KevinHart4real's dad. Like in real life, as per your blood test. (sic)"

Reynolds had previously written on Twitter about the role, saying: "I'm not playing Hawkman in Black Adam. Although I generally do whatever the hell @TheRock tells me to do."
