Will Smith May Have Lost Iconic Role to Dwayne Johnson But the Money is Still Flowing in

Dwayne Johnson, with his Hollywood mega-blockbuster films, is currently ruling Hollywood. According to the figures, it is reasonable to assume that The People’s champ is presently among the biggest attractions in the business. In recent times, Will Smith and DJ have often been compared since Smith is expected to lose the lead part in his renowned film and DJ is looked at as Smith’s replacement.

For those who don’t know, Smith is likely to lose some of his projects, including his Aladdin 2 role, after his Oscar incident. According to reports, DJ is expected to secure the role since he has good relations with Disney and has delivered major blockbusters for the company.

Will Smith could have lost out to Johnson for the famous role. However, Smith yet maintains his dominance in terms of getting paid to perform acting roles.

Will Smith is still superior to Dwayne Johnson

Black Adam, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s next movie, is one of the most anticipated films of his career. Since Johnson had recently outperformed him, it was thus predicted that this year, The Great One would earn more money for acting in a movie than Smith earned. However, it is not the case.

According to a recent Variety report, Smith will get $35 million from his acting role in ‘Emancipation’. Johnson, on the other hand, falls short of him since he was only able to earn $22.5 Million as his acting salary for the role of Black Adam.

Although he will also receive payment for producing the film and promoting it on his social media platforms, in addition to the millions from the movie. However, in terms of acting salary, he is way behind him. And even though he is probably going to steal Smith’s big Hollywood projects, he hasn’t yet earned as much money as him.

Smith’s one movie last year brought almost as much money as The Rock’s two films

The Great One did more financially in comparison to Smith in the previous year. Even so, Smith would fare better if he had to make the same amount of films.

Johnson had two movies that year that each made him earn $42 million. However, Smith only had one movie that year that brought in $40 M, which was all he required to match The Rock’s earnings.
