Dwayne Johnson, aka The Rock, will star in a new biopic about mixed martial arts fighter Mark Carr called Smashing Machine, which will be produced by A24.
Can you smell the lock cooking? Maybe it will become a big hit again. Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is one of the world's most beloved and acclaimed movie stars. Known for his blockbuster box office success and charming personality, Johnson is a bona fide movie star and will next play a career-defining role in the biopic of mixed martial arts legend Mark Carr, Smashing Machine. It might become.
It's been a very busy year for the Hobbs and Shaw star. He has had a memorable year, returning to his roots as a wrestler in the WWE ring. Johnson returned to his first professional wrestling match after being away from the ring for 11 years. Pro wrestling fans around the world rejoiced as The Rock's return significantly increased viewership. However, it also sparked speculation that he might take a break from his acting career to return to wrestling.
That's not true. Dwayne Johnson is returning to WWE professionally, but he's not taking a break from acting. In fact, he will soon be filming the much-awaited movie 'The Smashing Machine'. Shortly after his first stint with WWE, The Rock reportedly returned to his filming schedule and will continue to bounce back and forth between filming movies and pro wrestling. He will soon return to the role of Hobbs in the final Fast and Furious movie, Fast-X.
What is a smashing machine?
Dwayne Johnson has been cast in a movie about legendary mixed martial arts Ultimate Fighting Champion Mark Carr. The film is based on the 2002 documentary of the same name. Uncut Gems director Benny Safdie will direct the film, which will also include Dwayne's Jungle Cruise co-star Emily Blunt, who will play Kerr's wife. The film will be produced by award-winning production company A24, known for projects such as Uncut Gems, Priscilla, The Zone Of Interest, Lady Bird, and The Iron Claw.
Smashing Machine could lead to a major career change for The Rock
Dwayne Johnson is a superstar, and that stardom comes with many benefits and some drawbacks. Although the Moana star is considered one of the biggest movie stars purely due to box office success, he is not considered one of the great actors.
Johnson's filmography has many hits and consists of important action films such as San Andreas, Red Notice, G.I. Joe: Retaliation, Skyscraper, and Rampage. . He also became a marquee actor in high-octane adventure series like “Jumanji'' and “Fast and Furious.''
Although his films have not been very successful, the star has received a lot of critical acclaim. But his role in Smashing Machines could change all that.
This is one of the few times Johnson has taken on a real-life role, and it was at a studio known for its cathartic storylines. With a director like Safdie at the helm and the acting prowess of Emily Blunt, this film helps portray the character of Dwayne Johnson's The Rock in a way we've never seen before. Leveraging their skills and his hard-earned career in wrestling and channeling it into a Mark Carr biopic could help Dwayne Johnson not only as a star but also as a performer.
If this movie does well, it could change The Rock's career in a big way, especially in terms of his movie choices.
