In a teaser clip, Johnson, 48, said: "I do have that goal to unite our country and I also feel that if this is what the people want, then I will do that."
The pro wrestler-turned actor did not specify which political party he would represent if he launched a presidential bid.
It comes after an online public opinion poll released by consumer trends company Piplsay, found 46 per cent of Americans would consider voting for Johnson.
The Rock posted a screenshot of the article on Instagram and wrote that the poll results were 'humbling'.
He captioned the post: "I don't think our Founding Fathers EVER envisioned a six-four, bald, tattooed, half-Black, half-Samoan, tequila drinking, pick-up truck driving, fanny-pack wearing guy joining their club.
"But if it ever happens it´d be my honor to serve you, the people."
Fast & Furious star Johnson is the latest celebrity to consider a political career.
Kanye West infamously embarked on a short-lived presidential run last year against Donald Trump, who lost out to Joe Biden.
