McG will direct Disney's remake of its 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea, which adds Captain Nemo to the end of that title for some reason, and now a Captain Nemo has come aboard.

It was believed that McG was interested in Will for the role, but Production Weekly (via IESB) reports that Dwayne Johnson will play the lead, which could prove to be Johnson's best bid for franchise glory. A proven commodity, especially for Disney, Johnson has eschewed tough guy roles for more family friendly action movies over the past couple of years, and this one would certainly fit that mold.

The Rock as Captain Nemo?
