On Thursday, [America’s favorite](http://time.com/4424234/people-really-want-the-rock-to-run-for-president/?iid=sr-link3) former wrestler posted a picture of his _Jumanji_ character, the “smoldering” Dr. Bravestone, on his Instagram. In the shot, an Indian-Jones-like Rock is decked out in a cowboy hat, fingerless leather gloves, and a holstered gun. Rugged. “Not sure where my pecs went,” he cheekily captioned the photograph. Here’s an important note: this is concept art, not an actual photograph. He’ll be co-starring with his _Central Intelligence_ [buddy Kevin Hart](http://time.com/4393341/the-rock-kevin-hart-laugh-cry-impersonate/?iid=sr-link4) as well as comedian Jack Black, pop star Nick Jonas, and actress Karen Gillan — certainly an eclectic group of personalities. The reboot of the 1995 adventure fantasy isn’t expected to hit theaters until July 2017, meaning we’ll be getting plenty more updates on The Rock’s progress as Dr. Bravestone for almost a whole year yet. Not complaining. **Quiz**: [_Are You Ready for Back to School?_](http://time.com/4457305/back-to-school-quiz/) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4476787/the-rock-jumanji-movie-photo/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4476787/the-rock-jumanji-movie-photo/"},"headline":"The Rock Debuts His 'Smoldering' New Look for Jumanji","datePublished":"2016-09-01T20:40:36.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:36:09.938Z","description":"It's coming","url":"https://time.com/4476787/the-rock-jumanji-movie-photo/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Entertainment","movies","celebrities"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Raisa Bruner","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/raisa-bruner/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4476787/the-rock-jumanji-movie-photo/","name":"The Rock Debuts His 'Smoldering' New Look for Jumanji"}}]}] ```
