Hollywood is an industry with cut-throat competition and every viewer knows that. It takes several years, multiple auditions and acting classes to secure even a tiny role in a movie. Legend has it that ‘Loki’ actor Tom Hiddleston once auditioned for the role of ‘The God Of Thunder’ aka ‘Thor’. But fate had a different plan for him and he landed the part of ‘Thor’s ‘evil brother ‘Loki’ which he played so skillfully. Just like this, many upcoming stars auditioned for God knows how many roles, and one of those stars was Dwayne Johnson.

He bagged the role of ‘The Scorpion King’ in ‘The Mummy Returns’ in 2001 and that was the start of ‘The Great One’s’ Hollywood career. Post that he did multiple movies but one movie in 2010 was such a dud at the box office, it almost ended ‘The Rock’s’ career. That was until he found salvation in 2011 by becoming part of this $7 billion movie franchise.

‘Fast Five’ saved Dwayne Johnson’s Hollywood career in 2011

Let us take you back to 2010. Dwayne Johnson has etched his name in Hollywood with successful movies like ‘Get Smart’ and ‘Race to Witch Mountain’. Because of his action movie stature, he was getting known as the next Arnold Schwarzenegger in Hollywood. But one movie, in particular, brought that success story to a halt.

We are talking about the movie ‘Tooth Fairy’. The movie features Dwayne Johnson as a ‘Tooth Fairy’. Although the movie was a financial success as it made $113 million while the budget was just $48 million. This obviously came about because of Dwayne Johnson’s star power. But currently, this movie has a score of 17% on Rotten Tomatoes, which is the lowest for any of his 44 movies to date. And this almost brought his acting career to an end.

That is until 2011 when he landed his iconic role of Luke Hobbs, a federal agent who wants to capture and punish the members of the ‘Fast And Furious’ crew for all their crimes. He then featured in the sequels of the franchise before a fallout with lead actor Vin Diesel. However, the duo have patched up their relationship and Johnson is set to return to the franchise after his brief cameo in Fast X.

But as Johnson is ready to start shooting for one franchise, he sadly had to put an end to another. All this is because of a change in leadership in the movie studio.

Dwayne Johnson just revealed that there will be no ‘Black Adam 2’

DC fans were ecstatic when they announced that Dwayne Johnson would play the iconic role of ‘Black Adam’. And Johnson didn’t disappoint the fans as he put on a stellar performance. Sadly, the movie didn’t do well at the box office. To be honest, it did by making $393.3 million at the Box Office, which is a huge amount. But considering it’s total budget was $360 million, sadly it was a flop.

That said and done, there were plans to have a ‘Black Adam 2’. At the end of the movie, Superman aka Henry Cavill made a dashing entry. Thus giving fans hope to see a comic book showdown between Superman and Black Adam in part 2. Sadly, this project won’t be seeing the light of day as Henry Cavill has retired from his renowned Superman role. Furthermore, a change in leadership in the DC studio has led to them scrapping the idea of ‘Black Adam 2’.
