Dwayne Johnson has taken to social media to release the first image from the set of the new Baywatch movie.

Baywatch is coming to the big screen in 2017 and will see Johnson star as part of an all-star and very exciting cast.

Johnson is set to take on the role of Mitch Buchannon in the film alongside Zac Efron as Matt Brody and the pair feature in this great new image that Johnson posted on his Instagram page.

Baywatch will mark the first time that Johnson and Efron have starred together and the duo is joined on the cast list by Alexandra Daddario, Priyanka Chopra, Kelly Rohrback, Ilfenesh Hadera, and Jon Bass.

The movie marks the return of Seth Gordon to the director's chair in what is his first feature film since Identity Thief back in 2013.

Filming on Baywatch is set to get underway this week and the movie will hit the big screen next year - and official UK release date has yet to be announced.

2016 is set to be another very busy year for Johnson as he has already completed work on Central Intelligence and has lent his voice to animation film Moana.

The actor is also set to reprise the role of Hobbs in Fast & Furious 8, which is expected to start shooting later this year. As if all that is not enough, there has also been talk of a possible sequel to disaster film San Andreas, which was a big success last year.
