There's some exciting news for film fans! Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, known for his roles in The Mummy Returns, Jumanji, and Fast & Furious franchise, has confirmed his future acting plans. He is one of the highest-paid and highest-grossing actors in the world, and fans can't get enough of him. One of his most beloved roles is that of Maui in Disney's Moana, and he's reprising that role in the sequel, which is set to release this month.
But fans can breathe a sigh of relief, as Johnson has no plans of retiring anytime soon. In fact, he's not content with just playing Maui in the live-action adaptation of Moana. Speaking to Metro on the red carpet at Moana 2's London premiere, he shared, "It's hard as s**t. I think I wouldn't be content because there's just more and I know there's more." He also addressed rumors of his retirement, saying that he's considering "disappearing" entirely, but his gut is telling him to challenge himself and take on more roles.
Johnson also revealed that his grandfather was a huge inspiration for his role as Maui, and he would be grateful if that was his last role. He shared, "We just had our world premiere in Hawaii. He was buried in Hawaii. My ancestors are buried there too." For the actor, it's important to have cultural representation in movies, especially for his three daughters. He said, "My daughters - I have three daughters, I'm a girl dad of all ages from big to little - they see themselves in Moana and it's been very cool."
But fans don't have to wait for the live-action Moana to see Johnson on the big screen. He's gearing up for the release of his upcoming A24 biopic, The Smashing Machine, where he plays the role of mixed martial artist Mark Kerr. The actor is excited to disappear into the character and challenge himself in a deeper and richer role. The film, which also stars Emily Blunt, follows Kerr's struggles with addiction, issues in his personal life, and the pressures of competition.
In the meantime, fans can enjoy Johnson's latest Christmas film, Red One, which is now in theaters. The film, also starring Chris Evans, Kiernan Shipka, and Lucy Liu, follows a former E.L.F. operative who teams up with the best tracker in the world to rescue Santa Claus after he's kidnapped. And for all the Moana fans, the sequel is set to release on November 29, promising another exciting adventure for the titular heroine.
So, it looks like there's a lot in store for Dwayne Johnson fans in the coming months. From Moana 2 to his challenging role in The Smashing Machine, and of course, his latest Christmas film, Red One, there's something for everyone. And for those who were worried about his retirement, rest assured, the actor has no plans of leaving the industry anytime soon. As he put it, "I'm not going anywhere." We can't wait to see what he has in store for us next.
