Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson is not just the biggest name in the WWE. He is also the biggest action star, with his movies collecting over $12 billion worldwide. Starting out as a CGI monster in 2001’s The Mummy Returns, The Rock has come a long way with a massive name in his upcoming project.

With a net worth of $800 million, The Rock is one of the most bankable stars in Hollywood. However, coming off the heels of Barbie’s $1 billion success, a big name in Hollywood could be sharing the screen with The Rock.

 According to the website GiantFreakinRobot, the movie is a sci-fi adventure movie. Ridley Scott is currently in talks to helm the movie while 20th Century Studios is producing it. Many WWE fans are excited as it is reminiscent of The Rock guest starring in Season 6 of Star Trek: Voyager’s episode ‘Tsunkatse.’ The Rock played a gladiator in the episode that fought and defeated Jeri Ryan’s Seven of Nine

The movie will be the first collaboration between Robbie and The Rock. This would have happened if Black Adam did not bomb at the box office, leading to the DCEU being rebooted. Robbie gained worldwide fame as the fem fatal Harley Quinn in the DCU, while The Rock played the Teth Adam in Black Adam. However, with the reboot moving forward, chances of seeing the two share a screen in the DCEU are highly unlikely. 

Coming off the success of the Barbie movie, Robbie has a net worth of $40 million. The movie’s critics praised the actress and the story as a breath of fresh air in cinema. The last outing after Black Adam for The Rock was an uncredited cameo appearance in Fast X. He reprised his role as his iconic character Luke Hobbs during the end credits scene of the movie.

Nevertheless, the Wolf of Wall Street actor’s passion for WWE could be rekindled by working with Johnson.
