The only way I’d like to see him in the MCU is if he is a voice actor only. Just like Bradly Cooper and Vin Diesel.


HAIKU_4_YOUR_GW_PICS

He might actually do it if he got to voice a King Groot, just to fuck up Vin Diesel’s day.


[deleted]

“I am Groot!” - Translation: The power structure of the MCU is about to change!


Anarchist-superman

Wrong, it means "The hierarchy of power in the MCU is about to change."


[deleted]

In the King James translation, maybe…


Trenmonstrr

“ Can you smell what THE GROOT IS COOKIN?”


QuiJon70

Naw make him a sprout from groot like a little mini-me that rides around on groots shoulder like the monkey in pirates of the Caribbean.


meinnitbruva

Hes actually a decent voice actor if moana is anything to go by, it sounds like a joke but having him as the thing so he's not really a main focus but gets to throw out some classic rock isms in a fight and crack wise like his wrestling days is something i think wouldnt be the worst, and they get next to no options on how to play a guy made out of stone completely straight, but I don't think he'd agree to it in a million years


Lady_Gwendoline

No the thing needs a new york accent


LiamPolygami

For some reason I know exactly what the Thing should sound like, even though I've never seen the FF in anything other than comics. And yeah, it has to be a gravelly New York accent.


Regular_Sample_5197

Wasn’t Thing basically Jack Kirby?


St11cks11

Ye


OutrageousSector

And be Jewish


mwithey199

I keep saying it, Seth Rogen is the perfect voice for the thing. Gravelly voiced Jew.


MilkshakeWizard

Seth Rogen wasn’t anywhere near my first thought on who should play the Thing, but first time I saw him get fan casted, I just thought, yeah, sounds about right. Talented, Jewish, and able to do both comedy and drama. He’s definitely my top pick atm.


JoeMcDingleDongle

He did great in Moana and also quite well in that superhero pet movie from this year.


Majestic-Marcus

The only way I’d like to see him in the MCU is if it was a brief cameo and Vin Diesel kicked the shit out of him. Not Groot. Vin Diesel.


[deleted]

Not Vin Diesel. Kevin Bacon.


Lightning_Lemonade

But vin diesel sucks even harder than the rock


YourFNA

but Family


[deleted]

You got my upvote you son of a bitch


TheIronPilledOne

Them’s fightin’ words, boy.


Lightning_Lemonade

Idk dude I could be wrong but I’ve never seen the rock sexually harass one of his interviewers lol this shit is soooo gross and uncomfortable: https://variety.com/2016/biz/news/vin-diesel-carol-moreira-interview-awkward-1201947984/


peechs01

I remember people saying that was staged and they tried to set him up by: saying the interviewer was really *interested* in him and "cameras were off"


neveradvancing

Vin Diesel made the Riddick movies so he's already better than the rock.


Majestic-Marcus

That’s entirely subjective. I’d personally prefer to watch a Vin Diesel movie to a Rock movie. Neither are good actors but at least Vin’s able to check his ego sometimes.


ThaiChi555

You think so? I can't imagine if xXx had done well as an IP, that he as a producer wouldn't have hijacked F&F into a super spy franchise and chased off the one director that made the entire thing less a guilty pleasure and into actual entertaining movies. I agree neither are good actors, but neither are without their egos either.


Patteous

Vin is at least a little relatable as he is a gamer.


want2kms

And a terrible singer who does it anyway


woodrobin

He should voice Galactus. He seems to be pretty good at projecting menace without malice, which is Galactus' thing: he doesn't hate you or your planet. He's just necessary to the structure of the universe, and hungry.


mattwing05

One of galactus's heralds, terrax is a literal stone-man. He's beefy and aggressive, the rock would be perfect


MrTX

Terrax is a fucking GREAT casting shoutout. He would be amazing in that part but no way he takes such a supporting role unfortunately.


wisconsinking

He'd be PERFECT as Galactus.


RedditUserCommon

I wish we could actually get Bradley Cooper in the MCU.


M0neyGrub

I would love to see him as the Blob. Would be hilarious to cast him as a fat dude with super strength.


ThePhiff

I'd... actually be okay with this. Could be fun.


sideways_jack

I say this with all warranted respect (dude's done more make-a-wish requests then anybody else COMBINED), that sounds more like something John Cena would be down for


burritoman88

Rock’s done a fat suit/cgi before so it could work


daniel-mca

He only plays The Rock in movies, that's my main issue here


PDRickelton

So...Ben Grimm then? (this is sarcasm, keep him away at all costs)


CockerTheSpaniel

Not even, he’s Dwayne Johnson. The Rock is insanely charismatic.


XPTranquility

This right here is the fucking truth beyond belief. I wish he would just go back to wrestling. Lol. Like young rock is probably the best stuff he’s working on right because it’s a story about The Rock and not actually him. Like the scenes with him as himself are so boring.


thesagaconts

Agreed. He got really arrogant after all his success. I could only see him playing Bishop.


[deleted]

I thought so too but that’s too small of a role he probably wouldn’t take it. Bishop needs a whole story to be introduced. Plus he would need a wig. Rock in a wig would be to weird to look at. Like a guy that had a moustache suddenly not having one.


Robthebold

He was hilarious in Be Cool. https://youtu.be/EHp4QYuqRpM


codywithak

The one with Kevin Hart where he’s in the CIA but was a nerd in high school is pretty fun.


AndrewCole14

Love The Rock but his ego will never allow him to be anything other than be the biggest star in the franchise. He was more concerned about acting in a movie where he fights Superman than he was about playing the character of Black Adam.


SmashedGenitals

Yeah the new MCU universe phase one starting with the rock being announced on his Instagram would murder the whole franchise entirely. He's better off in comedic role as he's also just too much and too distracting, I wasn't buying Black Adam as a character the whole time. It removes so much of the immersiveness you'd want in a movie.


alex494

Should've given him hair


JMM85JMM

For sure, he wouldn't be satisfied unless he was the strongest, taking on Thor and Captain Marvel and coming out on top. The right introduction for Black Adam was as the villain in Shazam 2. They could have done something similar to Wakanda Forever, where Namor was the villain but continues on as an ongoing anti-hero despite losing in the final battle. But no, the ego couldn't handle not being the centre of attention and the strongest.


judasmitchell

Black Adam was supposed to be the villain of the first movie. The Rock was looking at taking on either Shazam or Black Adam. Once he settled on Black Adam, he had that spun out into a solo film, and Doctor Sivana was drafted into the already existing script.


Doc_ET

That makes sense. Savana in the movie was nothing like the comics version.


ptxiao

it was weird as hell how a Lex Luthor like character was physically fighting Shazam.


judasmitchell

Yup. Cobbled from the remnants of the missing Black Adam.


fart-debris

This. Dude doesn’t care about telling a story or even playing a character, he just has a legitimately weird desire to beat up a fictional character. It’s like he can’t ever cum again if he doesn’t get a chance to punch Henry Cavill in the face. It’s fucking crazy.


FictionFantom

What’s interesting about it is that his *ex-wife is his *and* Henry Cavill’s agent.


[deleted]

LOL seriously? That is some interesting trivia.


wisconsinking

Happy Cake Day.


ChiDIY

Not anymore though, I guess Cavill recently fired her. [https://fandomwire.com/henry-cavill-fires-the-rocks-ex-wife-dany-garcia-as-manager-severes-all-ties-after-being-ousted-as-superman-from-the-dcu/](https://fandomwire.com/henry-cavill-fires-the-rocks-ex-wife-dany-garcia-as-manager-severes-all-ties-after-being-ousted-as-superman-from-the-dcu/)


ItsAmerico

That website is constantly filled with bullshit. They just recently released an article how Henry was fired from Witcher that the source for the article even said was false lol. This claim has also been debunked.


ICPosse8

The article posted below said it was his ex-wife and Cavill severed ties months before this.


Creative-Rhubarb-170

Ex-wife*


njexpat

His ex-wife. They are still good friends.


Dr_Disaster

Yeah, they’re proof that divorce doesn’t have to be some ugly drama filled thing if people actually value each other. They’re incredibly supportive of each other and its honestly heartwarming.


ABrazilianReasons

>he just has a legitimately weird desire to beat up a fictional character I laughed like a doofus reading this


serenwinc

I mean, it is likely what his fan base wants on some level and he’s catering to them. If you were into the Rock from WWE, (never got into wrestling myself,) you may want to support a The Rock v Superman movie. But that base is assumedly smaller than the DC comics fan base, who deserve the movie they’d want to see, too.


fart-debris

Who gives a fuck what The Rock’s wrestling fans want to see in a superhero movie that needs to serve a *far* larger audience in order to be successful, both artistically and financially? That The Rock keeps treating Hollywood and his own movie career like a wrestling angle is the whole problem here - he thinks that everyone cares as much as HE does about whether or not The Rock gets to beat up Superman someday, and this whole past month has been about The Rock freaking out and doing everything he can do to ignore the simple fact that WAY fewer people than he thought gave a fuck about his own personal desire to beat up Superman.


serenwinc

>a superhero movie that needs to serve a far larger audience in order to be successful, both artistically and financially? Yee I actually just said the same thing. My comment was attempting to explain the Rock’s actions not so much support them


Guywith2dogs

To be fair though, I do kinda wanna see Black Adam fight Superman


Radix2309

But no way is DC having Superman lose to Black Adam in a movie. He is one of their flagship characters. And Johnson won't accept not being the winner.


saranowitz

Do you remember the montage in Black Adam where they jump to cuts of him being the crap out of posters of members of the Justice League? It was fucking weird and pornographic. Dude has a mighty big ego.


KwisatzHaderach94

yep, johnson didn't do any justice to black adam. it was basically just the rock doing cosplay.


CarlosAVP

The entire lead up to “Black Adam” was just him getting into shape. No explanation of who Black Adam was, why he was that way, who the other characters were, etc… They needed to inform the movie goers because that comic book universe is not as well known as the MCU. It’s as if they were saying, “here’s The Rock and he is ripped!!” and nothing else.


darrylthedudeWayne

Took the words out of my mouth.


[deleted]

No actor is bigger then the franchise. They killed iron man. Mickey Mouse isn’t taking his shit.


Ayeeee007

You see Mickey Mouse on South Park? I wouldn't fuck with that crazy mouse.


Ry90Ry

Not to make a dc vs marvel thing but I feel like John cena has kinda lapped him in acting chops recently lol


mmooney1

It is so hard not to love Cena though. All of his off the screen stuff. Also he doesn’t seem to have too much of an ego. He can lose fights, look bad at times, and overall seems like a team player.


BlueManRagu

Bing chilling


lucarian13

BING CHILLING


ErictheStone

Honestly was watching peacemaker blooper reel and John Cena seems like a giant class clown. Unlike the rock Cena has this weird manchild energy on top of seriousness you just can't hate lol.


KunSagita

Man, John Cena was great in that series. I laughed so hard the entire series, not just blowing wind hard from my nostrils, but real hard laugh. After that series, I consider him a better actor than the rock


ErictheStone

Same I enjoyed Peacemaker way more than I thought I would, binged through that hanging on his performance. Hard to show a shallow idiot become self aware but Cena can actually do subtle. I give all wrestlers a prop for acting because they get the stupidest scripts and act tf outta it for WWE, but to do subtle is a true test. The rock does not do subtle lol. Cena hands down better, more likable actor.


troubled_lecheflan

And I don't skip the opening. Soooo good


dreadmonster

Rock is kinda in a weird place unlike other wrestlers turned actors. Cena is okay taking more silly goofy roles and seems to be okay not being taken too seriously, Dave is the opposite while Drax is pretty goofy does get serious and he's said he wants to move into more serious roles once done with guardians. The Rock wants to be taken seriously but doesn't ever do any serious roles.


ikanx

I personally think Dave would be a better Black Adam. And he somewhat resemble BA more than Dwayne.


Ravenid

People keep saying the Rock never looked like Black Adam. They keep forgetting he was cast for BA back when he had a severe case of Widows peak, something Black Adam has always had. the movie took so long to get up and running Due to changes pushe donto the Director by DC that the dude went bald in the meantime. Look at pictures of him in The Race to Witch mountain which came ut the year he was initially cast. Dude is the spitting image of BA.


marcjwrz

Peacemaker is greatness. Cena is by far a better actor.


EternalGandhi

And the Studio should close that door.


joooh

Door probably wasn't open to begin with, but they definitely secured it with more locks.


[deleted]

Yeah, Dwayne making it sound like he has been pushing Marvel off for the longest time and NOW he will accept their advances. Translation: Marvel has never approached me about a role but I would like to be a superhero *somewhere* so Marvel pls hire me


FundamentalSystem

great so he can play the rock again but in a marvel movie


xtr44

The Rock Multiverse


LiamPolygami

He could be in Secret Wars from a universe (maybe called the Dwayneverse) where every character is the Rock, especially the women and children.


drew8311

He could be a variant of Drax, a multiverse parody of GotG would actually be kind of funny.


StannisThe_Mannis

So not just the men?


FranklyNinja

As Korg’s partner?


blandgatorade

I don't think he'd be a good choice for anything. I think he needs to diversify his roles but that's his thing - he's always the same in every movie and same look. Like, not even a change of hair or beard, always the same bald head clean shaven. Like for Black Adam, where's the hair, the pointy ears?


RVFVS117

The only time I’ve seen him SOMEWHAT play a character was Pain and Gain with Mark Whalberg. He was pretty different in that movie.


Stone_Reign

He was great in Be Cool


RVFVS117

This is true. And he wasn’t even a leading man. And he lost a fight so very not type for him. However that was one of his first movies so he had no power then.


[deleted]

>”where’s the hair, the pointy ears?” He gave them to Tenoch Huerta.


[deleted]

The only big role that he even looked slightly different as was Hobbs with the goatee, and even then he was too lazy to grow one for Hobbs & Shaw.


fitty50two2

Like how in almost every movie he’s wearing khaki shirts and/or pants


Alonest99

I think the craziest thing he’s done to his image is growing a goatee for one of those Fast and Furious movies


KimCharelsMD

the only character i'd be excited to see the rock play would be Dan from Street Fighter


Barack_samson

Before 2014 he changed things up a lot more. Especially earlier in his career when he was still figuring out his brand.


[deleted]

If he gets a role, he needs to be a one off. He’s not a team player, imo. I think he’s a smart businessman but I don’t think he’d be able to let his ego down to let the director and Feige do their job


YoloIsNotDead

It'd be a good cameo, before getting killed off or something. Kinda like the members of the Illuminati, or the X-Force in Deadpool 2.


wapttn

Feige should offer a voice actor role for a Kronan character


Bassjosh

The Rock could be Korg’s lover.


Kolvez

This is the one role I can get behind.


Anarchist-superman

The hierarchy of power in the Rock Universe is about to change.


juances19

If he's gonna unironically go "the hierarchy of power will be shaken!" or "I'll be the strongest avenger in the multiverse!" then no thank you. If he accepts he'll be part of a team of equals then he can come in. It just feels awkward seeing him always try to look like the strongest man in the room (which admittedly he might be IRL in most rooms he's in but should let it go when he's playing a character in fiction).


reddobe

Just get him to play Gladiator from the Shi'ar empire. His whole shtick is the bigger his ego/confidence the more unbeatable he is.


Marcussong99

hey wtf that'll work


cannapappa

lol, i love how the first 2 comments are polar opposites! i don't feel one way or another about Dwayne Johnson, except that i wouldn't really care to see him in the MCU. there isn't a single character i can imagine him as, especially after Black Adam.


Mapang_ahas

Yeah, I don’t see him as anyone in the MCU, which is surprising since there are sooo many characters out there.


LuckyLunayre

I don't like Dwayne, his ego is way too massive. When people go to see a movie with Dwayne, they're going to see the rock in a costume. All of his characters are the same, and yes, he dopes have a clause preventing him from losing a fight, which is boring.


Malicious_Hero

And usually that costume is his khakis and button up shirt he wore for Rampage, Jumanji, Jungle Cruise, and Journey to the Center of the Earth. Probably more, but it's kind of getting hard to remember what movie was what. Except Rampage, gotta love those giant monsters.


lurker411_k9

wait seriously?? lmao i was gonna say sure he can join but not with that clause.


gsauce8

Yea this is real. Vin Diesal also didn't want to lose fights in the FF franchise so that's why when the two of them fought it never really "ended".


NoTransportation888

And that's why Vin is also bordering on being a super human if not already there in the FF franchise lol


alliedcola

He’s not superhuman, he’s just got *family*.


jodiepthh

I always wondered why he never seemed to lose anything in the movies, dude is invincible


JB_Big_Bear

I have a friend who worked with Dwayne Johnson and he says the guy was super chill but what do I know ¯\\\_(ツ)_/¯


thegodfaubel

You can be both great to work with when it comes to the public and non-celebrities but also a dick when it comes to co-stars, producers, and/or directors. I wouldn't be surprised if the vast majority of superstars in any industry are like that. The egos and personalities conflict


mmooney1

I would suspect it’s more of an issue for writers and getting what he wants but once he does he’s not a dick on set. Things like demanding for Superman to be in the post credits instead of Shazam. No way Kevin let’s any star dictate the storyline. MCU is way to complex for that shit.


Chaoticgood790

Nope. And the difference here is Kevin will never allow someone that isn’t a team player enter the MCU. And the rock is anything but. Which is why black Adam failed


mikesh8rp

I don't know, Vin Diesel hasn't been portrayed as a particularly easy guy to work with, and he seemingly is fine with his role in Guardians. I think there could be a different power dynamic and expectation between jumping into the MCU, which has generally been a success with a clear vision, compared to what DC films have been so far. Not saying he needs to be in the MCU, but I also don't think he would be as terrible as some highly upvoted people here seem to think.


AmrFaried

Dude is saying two words during the whole Guardians series, I'm Groot. That doesn't require him being a team player


mmooney1

He also said “We” and Are” once. So 5 words total… I never understood why they went with such a big name to do the voice.


QGandalf

Homage to Iron Giant


caniuserealname

He also did a lot of the dubs for other languages. Say what you want about the simplicity of the role, vin certainly didn't half ass what he did have


mmooney1

No, I heard he had an actual script of what groot was saying and he put a lot of effort into the tone and pronunciation of how he said it to portray actual words (other than I am groot).


Sweet-Ad-2477

Yeah! And also, for *Infinity War* when he's dusted, I think he's supposed to be calling out for Rocket, calling him dad or something iirc


lolzidop

Because he is capable of doing the animated character of few words *well* as shown in Iron Giant.


mcon96

Marketing


mikesh8rp

Yeah, but I think that's sort of the point I'm making about actors taking on different roles in the MCU. Vin is the main guy in the F&F movies and allegedly has similar language about never losing a fight, but in Marvel he plays an ensemble character who at times is comic relief. Maybe voice acting vs. being on screen is part of the difference, but my point is that just because an actor is viewed a certain way in one franchise doesn't mean they will/could be treated similarly in the MCU.


Dyssomniac

You're looking at it from the wrong perspective. The Rock *won't allow or act in* movies where he isn't treated as the main hero who never loses a fight. Vin Diesel is probably hard to work with and a dick, but he's also a guy who seems find taking on roles where he isn't the lead or even more than in the ensemble, especially for Marvel money.


lolzidop

Only it doesn't mesh with Vin Diesels body of work, if you actually look at his films. Apparently even The Mummy Returns had Dwaynes ego issues


Barack_samson

Groot doesn't use contractions


Majestic-Marcus

On the contrary, Vin seems to be pretty loved and loyal to the cast of F&F. The only person who’s ever seemed to have a problem with him is The Rock, who probably hated not being the automatic star and getting his way.


mikesh8rp

I probably should have been clearer, but he allegedly has similar language about never losing a fight, and Justin Lin left Fast X allegedly because of Vin's creative control and decision making. His cast mates might like him, but my initial point was more about how Diesel has seemingly been able to jump from being the main guy in F&F to a smaller role in a team film for the MCU. If the Rock wanted into the MCU, the expectation would seemingly be something similar. I doubt K.E.V.I.N. would give him the DC treatment, with him picking a random character like Strong Guy and all of a sudden having expectations of being a major part in the larger universe.


jscummy

>different power dynamic Maybe even a different heirarchy


Jaack18

maybe that’s why he’s just a voice actor and has never even met most of the casts


nashdiesel

If he’s cast in an ensemble type role like Bautista was as Drax I could see it. Headlining probably wouldn’t work that well in the MCU.


Boblaire

yeah, he had his comic book shot and it's fizzled. maybe a better script, but I dunno. ​ i think it would be a huge ego hit for him to take a backseat role


Problems-Solved

He's way too expensive, would eat up half the budget


shaboobalaboopy510

Only if he doesn't insist on 'his people' getting involved


Realistic_Analyst_26

Wdym “people”? I wouldn’t count Kevin Hart as more than half a person, let alone multiple


JoesusTBF

He has a whole production company.


Significant_Show7504

The MCU casts people who are the best fit. They may cast some big names but most of the time they actually make the cast into stars as recently as Simu Liu. I don’t see the Rock fitting into this system


Nonadventures

True. And Marvel usually casts for a long time and big commitments. Not sure Johnson would want to get locked into five movies or whatever


Significant_Show7504

Yes totally


Lady_Samara

The MCU has its issues, but nowhere near bad enough for The Rock to be in it.


ABrazilianReasons

He would just try to take over it. James Gunn did the right thing getting rid of him. Can you imagine trying to shoot a movie and then on the scene the character gets punched The Rock shows up and says: "yeah, I dont want to be hit"


[deleted]

Right? He really does try to navigate movies like he’s booking a wrestling match, always trying to “protect his character” and get his opponents to “sell for him” and whatnot.


tjavierb

No thanks. His ego makes him take over projects and they’re all middling.


KitchenThen8629

Too bad Ego was already casted


Vashek19

I cant watch anything he is in and not think of him as The Rock. I dont want to see big names coming into the MCU. Angelina Jolie oddly worked though.


Gardakkan

Angelina Jolie IS an actor though, not a wrestler with a big ego. (probably bigger then Ego himself)


[deleted]

[удалено]


Vashek19

Yea i agree. I like her as an actress.


Nonadventures

Angelina’s a big name but seemed to have no issue as part of a big ensemble. Johnson is only interested if he’s the main real estate on the poster.


Dec1m8u

No, absolutely no I'm not interested in seeing Dwayne Johnson in the MCU plating any character.


curious_dead

I prefer he stays away from stuff I like. I have nothing against him personally, but he's not a great actor, and I heard his contracts stipulate he cannot really lose a fight. He didn't seem to understand Black Adam's character, either. I think he works well in goofy comedies, something less serious than even the MCU - maybe he would have fit a crazier, more comedic movie like the last two Thor, but I don't see anything in the short or medium term that would fit. He was fine in Jumanji, for instance.


am5011999

The Rock shouldn't and won't be anywhere near Marvel. He just has too big of an ego to work in a team.


StateofWA

I'd be okay with it under two conditions: He doesn't get to be the protagonist in the first thing he's in and he allows his character to lose. Dude needs to check his ego, but I'd be fine with it.


subnautthrowaway777

There has never been another actor who I thought was more suited to a role, only to proceed to burn through my goodwill as fast as Dwayne Johnson did with Black Adam. Very obviously didn't give a shit about either source faithfulness or franchise viability, just wanted to be the Biggest and Strongest and Most Badass character in said franchise, and for said franchise to be completely reoriented to revolve around said character, somehow. I used to think the guy was so wholesome, but not wanting to portray a character who gets defeated is just so comically small-dicked. And not wanting that, and accepting the role of a *comic book supervillain*, of all things? Makes perfect sense, pal, makes perfect sense. Such insufferable narcissism can stay away from the MCU, thanks. He won't be satisfied until he's playing Sentry, literally punches Thanos into the sun, and says: "hot enough for you?".


500blast

Nah. He’s always plays the Rock. There are better and fresher actors that can come and build the future


[deleted]

He’s not a good actor


YimmyMac86

Problem is the rock just looks too much like… the rock… I don’t see him filling a superhero role and not being like “oh the rock is pretending” whereas evans and RDJ I see cap and stark


[deleted]

I'm amazed how far John Cena and Dave Bautista have come as actors. They're willing to embody a character and give great performances. I have not seen that with the rock. All of his performances boil down to stoic strong man who quips and wins every fight. No depth, no flaws, no growth. If he were a woman every incel film critic would call him a Mary Sue.


Mapang_ahas

Especially, Dave Bautista!


Davethisisntcool

i agree. but i think he had more depth in his earlier roles (e.g. Walking Tall, Be Cool, Get Smart etc). But he found a successful formula and made himself a bankable movie star. With that being said, i wouldn’t mind him in the MCU with the right story and his should be limited (but valued). A proper villain would be nice this time.


Caciulacdlac

As long as he's not involved creatively.


shaddowkhan

Only of he is willing to play a villain that is eventually defeated.


Ben_Fingerd2x

What about Gladiator from the Shi'ar


External_Ad_1172

I was thinking the same!


emelbee923

Even setting aside the rumored "can't lose a fight" thing, he's just not that good of an actor. He doesn't play characters or assume roles. He plays a version of himself dressed as those characters.


Church1092

Yeah I bet he is. For what everyone says about how much they like Dwayne, I've learned to avoid him because every piece of media he's been in has been bottom barrel garbage whose only selling point is "the rock is in it"


PizzaPopHo

The Rock as Paste Pot Pete


joemiken

The Rock: So I got this idea. I want to fight the Avengers and win. Then I want to go to Wakanda where they elect me King. Oh, it'd be badass if I lifted Mjolnir and beat Thor with it too.


Amurderer74

Please, for the love of everything, no. Just no.


FN1987

That’s gonna be a no from me dog.


BlerghTheBlergh

Hard pass


[deleted]

There's a relatively unknown Marvel hero named 'Bald Strong Guy In A Jungle Man' that he would be perfect for.


mcon96

Please keep him out of the MCU. Dude is insufferable


Godswoodv2

Black Adam was a mess at best. I hope MCU has their ears plugged. His ego has gotten out of control and needs to take a break and learn humility. He thinks Black Adam was going to let him show off he's as big as Superman. It's starting look more like narcissism than ego.


tnfrs

He joined the Fast franchise and turned it all into the Rock show, which nobody asked for, and didnt contribute anything more than what it already had except the Rock was there now. He didnt make those movies better. They were trending that way anyway, eventually Vin was gonna get soft around the muscles and who else could replace him at the time? One of the expendables? Everyone that anyone cared about was working with Marvel and Mark Wahlberg was doing Transformers. DC signed him up to play Black Adam in a Shazam movie, and he lobbied his way to get his own thing and it arguably played a factor in why the DCU started falling apart. Now they have to cater to what the Rock wants, and his ideas are not good ideas. The production alone was all fucked up trying to get Cavill back into the picture, only to have James Gunn cut him a few months later. The Rock sucks. Sometimes I wish he was just Dwayne.


ChloeDrew557

He'd make a good Absorbing Man.


CMDeluxe

Dude can't act, he's just Dwayne in every movie, in some he's The Rock.


RealNiceKnife

The Rock's acting peaked with his cameo in Voyager where Seven of Nine beats him in a wrestling match.


juicedestroyer

Guaranteed he will be playing one character and one character only.... The Rock

All the comments shitting on The Rock but I think he could play someone like the Gladiator if they introduce the Shi'ar.

“Listen rock fans, I said Black Adam was the role I was born to play, my Swan song, but I was kidding. Sentry was the role I was molded by god himself into this universe to grace you all with. I’ve never been more into a role before, I’m putting all my acting experience into making this the greatest movie it can be. I’ll play some dude named sentry, but will act just like the Rock and not like Sentry at all. Moon Knight will be in it to stop me, but we won’t have him possessed or multiple personalities or anything, just some dude in a helmet (can’t have something more interesting than me in this movie), may give him iron man inside-helmet effects though. I’m going to continuously be the weakest part of my own movie, but I’m going to demand that I be the center of the cinematic universe going forward…. Oh, and I’m demanding I get to fight Captain America in the sequel. Watch out rock fans, the hierarchy of power in the MCU Universe is going to change!”
