Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson Surprises Fans With Two Unique Roles
Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson is set to surprise fans with two upcoming roles that mark a departure from his usual action-packed performances. In 'Lizard Music', an adaptation of Daniel Pinkwater's cult novel, Johnson will play a 75-year-old man, while in 'The Smashing Machine', a sports drama about MMA pioneer Mark Kerr, he stars alongside Emily Blunt.
Johnson is currently slimming down for his role in 'Lizard Music', which is set to release in theaters on October 3rd. The film, directed by Benny Safdie, requires Johnson to adopt a 'lean and sinewy' look, unlike his typical muscular physique seen in movies like 'Fast & Furious', 'Black Adam', and 'Jungle Cruise'. This transformation is integral to capturing the surreal and whimsical tone of the story.
In 'The Smashing Machine', Johnson and Blunt will portray real-life figures in a drama centered around the early days of Mixed Martial Arts (MMA). The film premieres in Los Angeles, with a nationwide release to follow. Johnson and Blunt have previously expressed interest in a sequel to their hit movie 'Jungle Cruise', suggesting a strong on-screen chemistry that fans can look forward to in their latest collaboration.
Fans can expect to see a new side of Dwayne Johnson in 'Lizard Music' and 'The Smashing Machine'. Both films offer unique challenges for the actor, with 'Lizard Music' requiring a significant physical transformation and 'The Smashing Machine' delving into dramatic territory. With Johnson and Blunt's proven chemistry, 'The Smashing Machine' promises to be an engaging exploration of the early MMA scene.
