It wasn’t that long ago that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson was one of Hollywood’s hottest irons in the fire. The former WWE wrestler was able to attract millions of fans to the cinemas thanks to his enormous charisma and impressive appearance and was a guarantee for full box offices. He enjoyed great success with the remake of Jumanji and the action blockbuster Hobbs & Shaw, among others, and he also left his mark on the extremely popular Fast & Furious franchise.
But then more and more dark clouds began to gather. Johnson fell out with his film partner Vin Diesel, and suddenly things weren’t going well in Hollywood either. The superhero film Black Adam turned out to be a huge flop and even sparked fierce accusations of fakery, which of course also damaged the actor’s image. After all the setbacks, there is finally some good news for The Rock.
What films is Dwayne Johnson working on?
One thing you have to give Dwayne Johnson credit for is that he is constantly in action and hardly ever takes a break. Until recently, he was in Disney’s recording studios to complete the voice recordings for the new animation hit Vaiana 2. There, he once again lends his voice to the character Maui. He will also play this character in the planned live-action adaptation of Vaiana, which is planned for 2026. Sequels to the adventure film Jungle Cruise with Emily Blunt and the action blockbuster San Andreas are also planned. But before that, Johnson is trying out a completely different role.
What is the name of Dwayne Johnson’s latest movie?
The polarizing actor will soon be seen in the biopic The Smashing Machine, which revolves around the life and career of mixed martial artist Mark Kerr, played by Dwayne Johnson. This will see him try his hand at character acting, which is in stark contrast to most of his previous roles. There is now great news about this project.
