If you ever wondered what it would look like were Dwayne Johnson to recreate one of those motivational "Hang In There!" kitten posters, wonder no longer. Because the new one-sheet for Skyscraper delivers just that.

Yes, with his most recent action pic, Rampage, stomping across box offices in the States and particularly worldwide, it does seem like the right moment for the team behind this latest Rock/Rawson Marshall Thurber collaboration (after Central Intelligence) is headed our way.

In Skyscraper, Johnson is former FBI hostage rescue team leader and amputee war veteran Will Sawyer. On assignment in his new gig as a security consultant, he's called in to check out a brand new building in China, touted as the tallest and safest in the world. Only one of those turns out to be true, as the place comes under flaming attack.

With Sawyer framed for the fire, he'll have to take out baddies and save his family, including his wife, played by Neve Campbell. Skyscraper is due to crash into cinemas on 13 July. And after that first poster featuring an unlikely trajectory for a Johnson leap, this one at least has you believing that a man with tree trunks for arms could indeed hang in there.

The most recent trailer, released around the Super Bowl in the States earlier this year, is below. We'd expect a new one to drop soon.
