The Rock is scheduled to begin filming his role in the upcoming motion picture “Hercules” later next month in Budapest, Hungry. He has the starring role in Brett Ratner’s film as he’ll play Hercules.
Filming is expected to take four and a half months, which will take him into the fall. The former WWE Champion has spent several months with a dialect coach, working on his accent for the role. He’s currently dealing with injuries suffered at Wrestlemania 29 as we reported on Sunday he’ll need to undergo surgery.
The Rock will indeed have to undergo from his injuries suffered in the WWE title match against John Cena at Wrestlemania 29 a couple weeks ago. Rock wrote the following on Twitter:

"Saw my Dr who had to push my intestines back thru the tear in my abdomen. Kinda romantic."
Surgery is next week. #BringItOn

The injury occurred early on in the main event bout against John Cena as it’s estimated The Rock worked 15 minutes in intense pain. He ended up suffering torn abdomen and adductor muscles that he tore off his pelvis as well as a hernia.
Dr. Lee Kaplan of the University of Miami examined Rock on April 8, 2013 and it was believed he would be able to rehab the injuries without surgery. Rock immediately resumed training and began physical therapy last week.
Time is of the essence as The Rock is scheduled to begin filming “Hercules” in less than six weeks in Budapest.
Below is the official synopsis for the upcoming WWE Payback pay-per-view, which takes place on Sunday, June 16th from the Allstate Arena in Rosemont, Illinois.
