Former WWE Champion and Hollywood superstar Dwayne Johnson has headlined several blockbuster films, including the Fast & Furious franchise, San Andreas, the Jumanji series, and Rampage. He is one of the highest-grossing actors of all time at the global box office. His last big screen appearance was in Benny Safdie’s acclaimed 2025 biographical sports drama The Smashing Machine. Although his transformative performance in the film received widespread acclaim, it did not perform well in theaters.
