I do not really care for Dwayne Johnson’s acting. It seems to me that he portrays his characters nearly the same in all of his movies. I much prefer his voice overs to his screen acting. Nothing personal against Mr. Johnson, he is a decent guy, just sharing my opinion of his acting. Also, I think it’s been a trend in the movie industry to fixate on a singular actor and over saturate them. Eventually, audiences tire of yet another movie starting so & so. Perhaps that scenario is happening to Dwayne Johnson. Overexposure is not good, even for actors.
Agreed, Steph!
I cheer him on to his next PROJECTS!!!
I love seeing Dwayne’The Rock’ Johnson on film! Big Screen, Little Screen, he’s a lot of fun, and he’s an all around great guy.
I just love all the haters… I love the Dewayne Johnson movies. He has always been a humble man and thankful for what he has…. maybe some of you haters could learn something from him instead of putting him down. Keep your head up high DJ we love ya.
I agree with you the world is full of haters that want to pull others down is
I mean and they are jealous
Talk poppy syndrome
Find someone that successful and then tear them down it’s a disgrace
I like the Dwayne he’s a very humble person it’s just been a lot of him lately in a lot of movies which he has earned but I think it’s time to mix up some Characters with other actors again nothing but respect!
Strange so many are taking the opportunity to dump all over Mr. Johnson. If he didn’t have star quality, he simply wouldn’t be getting the sheer number of roles. While not even mentioned in this “article”, the likeliest reason he isn’t cast in the series is a combination of his salary & scheduling… because he is an A-list actor currently in very high demand.
Where is the part in this report where he was axed? Sounds like they just didn’t hire him to reprise his role? Maybe he declined? All I know is that this story carries no evidenced that he was fired/axed. Sure sounds like a few commenters wanted to hear he was axed. Prolly when the didn’t read about the axing – the added their own critique to ensure this “story” has a real mean ax vibe.
I’m right there with you! No one is perfect but the Rock (for now) is scandal free. His balance reminds me of Hulk Hogan in his prime. Hulk’s character took on a life beyond wrestling and movies. He was a huge man, an adult but youthful at heart. Telling his Hulkamaniacs (I was one, lol) to say their prayers, listen to their parents and take their vitamins. Mr. T was the same. All 3 of these guys are child friendly. People are entitled to their opinion, but I just turned 50 and I’m with the Brama Bull! I can smell what he’s cooking and it smells like POSITIVITY!
This man / actor / muti-talented Dwayne Johnson will give the shirt off his back I believe.
🔺He did not know me from Adams house cat ( so to speak ),he heard of a situation and I was contacted and offered a position in one of his movies.I declined the opportunity of a life time, due to my child was in intensive Care unit , I would not live his side at that time.
🔺Mr.Johnson was a gentleman and I even recommend an actor to take the position he offered me ( not that he need my help.) She is and was a wonderful actor.He took little “old” me , advice and employed her.she was great in that part .As Mr Johnson she can play any part. I advise anyone , don’t ever throw in the towel on mr.Dwayne Johnson he has a lot more in him for his fans.👍
🔺I was blown away that Mr.Dwayne Johnson took the time out in his wonderful ( it appears)life , to care about ordernery people ( and I was just one of many he helped at least put a smile back in my heart ).HE dose that because he has not forgotten who he was before ” his” fame.He too was an ordernery person working very hard to his way to the top.
🔺The kindness of strangers I never forget ,that’s the heart of Jesus.
I thoroughly enjoyed Rundown, Tooth Fairy, and Muana. So does my husband. And pretty much any movie I know he is in, I will watch. I don’t think criticizing him helps anyone. When did we stop being kind?
I agree! He’s iconic! It takes hardwork in maintaining his overall persona and physique especially as aging progresses. He’ll do well in other action movies.
Oh c’mon…he’s not coming back to the “franchise” because he makes movies while this is a cheap streaming project for Disney+. Or did you think the world was really clamoring for a Bryce Dallas Howard vehicle? Yeah, she’s definitely a bigger draw than the Rock…
I love Dwayne Johnson movies! I also think that he is a much better actor than he’s been given credit for. Do big daddy Disney wants to cut him??? Fine. I can drop my subscription just as easily as they drop him!
They are just using him as a punching bag, so it will cover up their own faults. I think Dwayne Johnson totally rocks, and he’s funny as hell.
Screw, Disney and the other companies And screw the producers and directors also. So-called professional standards from movie, directors, and studios. They all act like children and they having a temper tantrum because someone took the cookies away.
This. This right here is 100% accurate. When did the Witch Mountain “Franchise” get labelled “Popular”? He hasn’t done anything with that role since 2009. I’m sure he was replaced due to his salary and scheduling conflicts more so than being “axed”
I havent seen all his movies,but the ones i have i enjoyed watching, Black Adam was pretty cool,could of been better but i thought the Rock did a great job.
Exactly. Black Adam was awesome! I apparently didn’t see the same Black Adam movie as the “critics”. It mad almost 400 billion and all I hear is how horrible it was. Well, I saw it three times in the theater.
Yeah, you’re right it’s more! Over $350 million at the box office, according to figures from 2 weeks ago plus recently announced streaming license deals! Not to mention download and DVD sales!
Black Adam was a borderline bomb. It cost $200 to make. The rule of thumb these days is a film needs to triple it’s budget to be profitable. It might have broken even.
DVD sales are down over 90% from their peak. There’s no money in it anymore.
There’s also no money in streaming. It’s a Warner Brothers film. Warner owns HBO. They don’t pay themselves to put their movie on their own streaming service. I guess there’s some money in VOD.
No way, DJ and Black Adam will be funding the first round of Stimulus checks for the American people, in the next Pandemic Economic Shutdown! Because he cares, and vowed to do his part on reducing the National debt. Lol, “CAN YOOUU SMMEEELLLL WHAT THE ROCK HAS COOKING!”
Omggg this is way to funny 😂😂. Crappy actor with fake millions of so-called followers and fans. Face it, all the blind followers he has, if they were that many, would have propelled Black Adam to over a billion is tix sales.
I think the man is a good person and me and my family love watching whatever he puts out in the world today i think we need more of him instead of less we love what u do rock just letting you know
I seriously doubt it was Dwayne Johnson’s fault. People are just tired of Disney and their shenanigans. I know I am. I’ll always be a fan of his post “The Rock”.
Dwayne the Rock Johnson is an excellent actor and entertainer. A very hard worker in the industry and I have been very fortunate to have seen some of his movies. I don’t understand how he could have been axed from anything possibly only on the grounds of not bring able to pay him; or if the writing was on the wall that the was not going to return to the franchise.
I didn’t see his previous role in Witch Mountain so it doesn’t effect me either way. I actually wasn’t even aware that he’s been in any Disney movies other than as a voice.
Disney your the ones that will loose. The Rock is awesome in all the pictures he’s been in. No one else could of played those parts. Shame on Disney!!!

I loved Dwayne Johnson in all the movies! I’m waiting for the price of Black Adam to come down so I can watch it. Asking Dwayne Johnson is a big mistake. It’s like asking Henry Carvill as Superman, big mistake.
I think the Rock has gotten better over the years. To do witch mountain the first time seemed like a stepping stone to get to another level. Doing the second one would be beneath him at this point in his career.
Simply stated in this thread would be the following:
A) the comments prove folks didn’t read the article;
B) there are folks who invent reasons to use the word “hater” across social media platforms and are adverse to any difference of opinion (and in fact are adversarial even when they say the same thing as those they respond to) because they think it’s cool or fashionable; and,
C) Jungle Cruise was well executed for what it was, hit it’s mark, and The Rock was the reason.
And……..there it is politics. Every topic on the face of earth does not need to be tied with politics. Face it this was a click at article using “axes” to attract all the haters that have to squeeze in their unexplainable hatred for “the other” party.
You’re reaching for audience now yourself with this crap article. That was ages ago. I still think most of his roles he plays the same character, but you can’t rule out crappy directors, crappy scripts and all that other crap that comes with a crap movie either. All DC movies are barely passable, just look at WonderWoman1984. Can’t expect the Rock to resurrect DC after the sewage already out there and yes including that Snyder-cut BS.
Jumanji was a good movie. The race to the Witch mountain is not bad. Moana was successful because of the Rock. Disney just can’t afford the Rock so they made an excuse.
The fact that he won’t be in Witch Mountain is actually a blessing for Disney and his fans. One that he was getting
too associated with Walt Disney and has become stagnant.
For all of his success he could become the worlds biggest
lounge lizard and it wouldn’t affect the fans – the media or
his back pocket. Change is needed for both of them to truly
diversify. Dude take 5 – 10 years off. Disappear for a few years.
Deadpool won’t happen for you – Wake up and smell the coffee.
Rocks last match was against Cena in 2011? He had multiple matches against CM Punk in 2013, faced Cena at Mania in 2013 and had a match against Erik Rowan at Wrestlemania in 2016. Not to be all “uhm ackshually” about it, but come on flubbing basic research like that doesn’t exactly engender faith in the rest of the information in the article
Thank god!!! Get rid of him. The only Movie I’ve watched with him in it is the fast and furious movies and that’s only cause I love the movies and Vin Diesel. I refuse to watch anything Else with him in it I hate him!! He was a crappy wrestler and an even worse actor!!!!
It’s easy to look for fault in people someone who has accomplish as much as the rock did so by being outstanding I like him his hairatige makes him a man that is very confident and humble hope he continues to do well
He has been in enough movies, time for someone else to earn fame. I am very proud of him. He has earned his mark. Started out with $7 in his pocket just before he was cut from the training camp of the CFL’s Calgary Stampeders in 94. From there he entered the WWF, now WWE. He has done so well for himself. In spite of being discouraged by the Head Coach Wally Buono of the then Calgary Stampeders. So Disney believes Dwayne Johnson has done enough. The Rock has done so well and irregardless of if Disney or something takes him on, he will always be the epitome of success. Rock on Rock.
Dwayne Johnson was great in all those movies he’s very funny very likable. Just keep him family oriented. Don’t go into this other stuff that’s not traditional family.
I think Disney is going broke and looking for cheaper versions of everything including a cheaper Rock. Disney has made majorly bad decisions that only costs them more money, including satisfying political agendas. So any reasons they give for things are suspect to me, but DJ stop following several companies that are entwined with Disney recently so I am thinking Disney could not keep any deals they had made with him and he rejected them.
The rock is not a great actor. He has chosen a lane and he’s good at what he does. Mostly light fare , fun projects directed at kids. He never seems to be caught up in any scandals and is just a decent man. Go Rock! You’ve made your family proud.
I really enjoy most of Dwayne Jonathan’s movies .He’s become a better actor & is a good humble person. I don’t think Disney should drop him if certain movies didn’t pa.n out it’s due to POOR writing. The actor’s do their part.NO one likes predictable plots unless you’re just going to entertain 5 yr Olds. Disney should open it’s eyes & look at the damn script ,before Oking it … Luv u ou Dwayne, keep up the work & have a blessed Christmas.
The movie industry is not doing welk at all since COVID. He is playing a role in the movie. What are you asking for. He can not created his own role. If the producer says is ok. Then is OK. All the movies are preview before they go to the public. COVID change that market. Besides people are not paying 50.00 to see a movie.
Notice the trend of studios dumping their failures on to the actors, instead of acknowledging poor writing. Disney, Warner, Netflix, all if them have recently taken to actor blaming. The Rock isn’t the greatest actor out there, but has delivered great results when cast correctly.
Some people shouldn’t be writers. This is nonsense. He’s one of the biggest actors in the world. Even if they begged him he wouldn’t be doing a Disney+ show. This was written just to have something to turn in.
Dwayne Johnson is amazing! Loved Witch Mountain, Hobbs and Shaw, Fast and Furious franchise. Tooth Fairy, Jumanji.
Actors are as good as the script allows, so fair suck of the sav!
The Rock is an incredible Entrepreneur and has many projects being very successful.
Tall Poppy Syndrome is caused by media and they break any actors success.
It is not a fair assumption by any Agency that an Actor who created billions of dollars into the coffers of these affiliates, then turn around and opt for a new “face”. If it works, do not break it. All comments and views are equally important, stay positive and shine💋
It is a series, big names are often cut because of cost in series. It is why a few networks only keep shows for 3 to 5 seasons because the price per episode becomes too high when the cast becomes known.
This man is a very caring person
He did not know me from Adams house cat ( so to speak ).He found my story told by a relative, and offered me a position in one of his movies with pay.(That was a miracle out the blue for sure ) My son was in intensive care for sometime and I would not leave his side at that point in time.
Mr.Dwayne was such a gentleman,even help smile at that time through the enormous situation.I recommend another wonderful actor for the part he was asking me to fill ( she was great in that movie,she can play any role,also as Dwayne ” The Rock ” can also in my opinion.
This man help people behide the seen.As I said he did not and still dose not even know me.The kindness of strangers I never take lightly.( That’s a Jesus heart to me,no matter whom the person it.) Something I never dreamed of……👍
Considering how much it costs to have him show up for anything, could it be more of a financial reason why he was cut moreso than acting? If this isn’t a movie that is a guarantee box office smash, would it make sense to spend that much on a single actor? I thought this when they were going back and forth about him in Black Atom
Jesus christ i dont care if brendan is back for the new mummy, i wont watch it if the rock is in it.
He has been shoved down our throats for too long that im sick of his movies. I quit his crap like 5 years ago. Hahahahahah anything with the rock is not really worth watching anymore.
I could name a few actors that did the same thing haters the rock is a talented star and hes the people champ he brought back henry cavill in black adam for the fans. Don’t take away the people’s voice by Be littering A person that speaks for the fans. Here’s a few names to mention who play the same rolls in different movies
Robert Downey Jr, Scarlet Johanson,Chris Hemsworth,Chris Evans, Kiano Reaves, Arnold Swartzenegger, Tom cruis, all im saying Is it the formula works don’t mess with it
I was crew on a movie with him and he show little respect for cast and crew showing up several hours late to set making everyone sit and wait for him. Every day. Costly for the production and rude to the whole lot of us.
He focuses on movies for 10yr old boys. You’re telling me Disney dropped him? It’s the rest of Hollywood that should turn him away. Undeniably hard working overachiever- but does he have the chops to take a leading role in blockbuster films?? Nah
Well…if it’s about actors who have the same personality in every movie, I can think of several: John Candy, Tom Cruise, Mark Wahlberg, Steve Martin, Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, Seth Rogan, Adam Sandler, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and Will Ferrell just to name a few…🤷🏽♀️
Dwayne Johnson ‘The Rock’,
KEEP ON MAKING MOVIES!!!
I ENJOY SEEING HIS FACE, HEARING HIS VOICE, and Watching him do his thing.
WHAT’S NEXT, DWAYNE J?
Come with it, your audience awaits to see more of you.
Comments for Disney Axes Dwayne Johnson From Popular Franchise
PPP
He wasn’t so good in Jungle Cruise either.
Suzzette
I just think there’s too much of him. Doesn’t impress me much 🤷🏻♀️
TriciaK
I totally agree. I’ve never liked him. Just being yourself and playing the same character in every movie doesn’t make you a good actor.
Nd_Mike
So you don’t like Tom Cruise either?

Dwayne? Is that you?

Hats off to Disney! Rock is a lousy actor in both Hollywood and when he was in wrestling! A d actor at best!
David
I’d like to see you do better moron

I never liked this actor. Not funny and not ever worth watching him He destroyed Jumanji…
Marcus the Cinematic
Race to Witch Mountain was already a stinker even before considering Johnson’s performance.
Mary
I think it’s
wrong I liked both of his movies could have used a little up beat.
Anime gurl
True why did they remake it anyway
Stef
Hahaha the Rock is laughing all the way to the bank.
He will excel at whatever he chooses to do.
Money and fame arn’t the be end to end all, he can do anything he sets his mind to.

Dwayne Johnson is a outstanding actor. He loves fun and happy parts. I will always watch a Rock movie.

Name these alleged “blockbusters”

Doubtful that Disney even had a chance of signing him for this project at this time.

So it’s only got 399+billion to go, to reach the absurdly buffoonish 400 billion fantasy.
Michael Bulich
Black Adam was a borderline bomb. It cost $200 to make. The rule of thumb these days is a film needs to triple it’s budget to be profitable. It might have broken even.
DVD sales are down over 90% from their peak. There’s no money in it anymore.
There’s also no money in streaming. It’s a Warner Brothers film. Warner owns HBO. They don’t pay themselves to put their movie on their own streaming service. I guess there’s some money in VOD.
Ed Harley
You need to subtract 399.5 billion from that number lol……
Jack Pickleson
No way, DJ and Black Adam will be funding the first round of Stimulus checks for the American people, in the next Pandemic Economic Shutdown! Because he cares, and vowed to do his part on reducing the National debt. Lol, “CAN YOOUU SMMEEELLLL WHAT THE ROCK HAS COOKING!”
Karen
I don’t think any movie has ever made that much money.
JuJu
Omggg this is way to funny 😂😂. Crappy actor with fake millions of so-called followers and fans. Face it, all the blind followers he has, if they were that many, would have propelled Black Adam to over a billion is tix sales.

They were too busy this past summer, “stirring the soup” and “pumping the pope” to the daily Depp drama on Court TV.
No
Screw him, we miss Brendan Fraser

How’s that possible? He’s bigger than Uncle Buck, Fat Bastard, Herman Clump combined!
Deacon Frost
“The Rock isn’t going to be involved in a TV show reboot of a movie that he starred in way back in 2009.”
How is this news? Were you so desperate for content? Pathetic non-story.

Yet you read it AND left a comment. Next time don’t read a “non story” and spare us from your pathetic, arrogant and know it all assumptions.

I think the man is a good person and me and my family love watching whatever he puts out in the world today i think we need more of him instead of less we love what u do rock just letting you know
Bert
Why would you want to axe yourself?
Oh, right. Self loathing….

We like The Rock. We dont like Disney remaking things into woke agenda garbage.

People existing isn’t an agenda and rebranding bigotry as anti-‘woke’ is ridiculous.

C’mon now— if someone isn’t “woke” it doesn’t mean they’re a bigot.

It’s literally exactly what it means

We could go back to saying PC. But I don’t think it would a difference wither way.

Truth
The Rock is not a good actor, period. He does ok in action/adventure but actual acting his performances are meh.
M Russell
I don’t think Disney could afford him??
The Rock is Busy
I only watched the Witch Mountain movie because the Rock was in it. Besides, I doubt he has time for this project anyways.
T.L.C.
I seriously doubt it was Dwayne Johnson’s fault. People are just tired of Disney and their shenanigans. I know I am. I’ll always be a fan of his post “The Rock”.

Disney’s making a lot of ignorant decisions lately expected after all the sinful things that are indulging in with their movies and shows..
Vicky
I think people are not satisfied with anything.. I loved The movies that he did.. He is a good actor.

BJ Lick
This website is trash.
The Rock would have never done the show anyway.
Ken Seon
Dwayne the Rock Johnson is an excellent actor and entertainer. A very hard worker in the industry and I have been very fortunate to have seen some of his movies. I don’t understand how he could have been axed from anything possibly only on the grounds of not bring able to pay him; or if the writing was on the wall that the was not going to return to the franchise.

I didn’t see his previous role in Witch Mountain so it doesn’t effect me either way. I actually wasn’t even aware that he’s been in any Disney movies other than as a voice.
Matt
I like Dewayne Johnson, but can not stand Kevin Hart. Kevin Hart can not act and he is not funny
Jim
I absolutely agree!
I haven’t watched Jumanji because Hart is so annoying.
Kiwi
The movie was pretty lame the only reason I saw it was because of Dwayne Johnson.
So good move, Disney. Ditch the star. That should help!
Catfish Jon
Disney your the ones that will loose. The Rock is awesome in all the pictures he’s been in. No one else could of played those parts. Shame on Disney!!!

Dwayne the Rock Johnson is an excellent actor and entertainer. A very hard worker in the industry and I have been very fortunate to have seen some of his movies. I don’t understand how he could have been axed from anything possibly only on the grounds of not bring able to pay him; or if the writing was on the wall that the was not going to return to the franchise.

I loved Dwayne Johnson in all the movies! I’m waiting for the price of Black Adam to come down so I can watch it. Asking Dwayne Johnson is a big mistake. It’s like asking Henry Carvill as Superman, big mistake.
Claysun
I think the Rock has gotten better over the years. To do witch mountain the first time seemed like a stepping stone to get to another level. Doing the second one would be beneath him at this point in his career.
Nick
Finally, he’s not even close to an o.k actor and he always plays the only character he knows how to play in all his movies and that is the rock.
Ramona
Well ain’t that a cringe worthy comment.
Mike
Simply stated in this thread would be the following:
A) the comments prove folks didn’t read the article;
B) there are folks who invent reasons to use the word “hater” across social media platforms and are adverse to any difference of opinion (and in fact are adversarial even when they say the same thing as those they respond to) because they think it’s cool or fashionable; and,
C) Jungle Cruise was well executed for what it was, hit it’s mark, and The Rock was the reason.
James
When he signed up with Biden he lost millions of fans
Wynne
And……..there it is politics. Every topic on the face of earth does not need to be tied with politics. Face it this was a click at article using “axes” to attract all the haters that have to squeeze in their unexplainable hatred for “the other” party.
Marc
His best acting was he pretended to be a football player.
Lily
It’s been over saturated with him I’m tired of seeing him
Rob
You’re reaching for audience now yourself with this crap article. That was ages ago. I still think most of his roles he plays the same character, but you can’t rule out crappy directors, crappy scripts and all that other crap that comes with a crap movie either. All DC movies are barely passable, just look at WonderWoman1984. Can’t expect the Rock to resurrect DC after the sewage already out there and yes including that Snyder-cut BS.
Dwayne
Jumanji was a good movie. The race to the Witch mountain is not bad. Moana was successful because of the Rock. Disney just can’t afford the Rock so they made an excuse.

I’ll miss uROCK , ❤️ADAMICHAEL

The fact that he won’t be in Witch Mountain is actually a blessing for Disney and his fans. One that he was getting
too associated with Walt Disney and has become stagnant.
For all of his success he could become the worlds biggest
lounge lizard and it wouldn’t affect the fans – the media or
his back pocket. Change is needed for both of them to truly
diversify. Dude take 5 – 10 years off. Disappear for a few years.
Deadpool won’t happen for you – Wake up and smell the coffee.
Re Ality
Disney is only accepting those that are in full oblivious woke mode or straight up creepers
Tommy
I hope they paid Aulii cravalho a ton of money for Moana !!! I have cee loo green song in mind for Disney!!!
Jennifer
He is amazing. Big mistake if you lose him.
Marie
Maybe they want a woman. What’s the big deal.
Chris
That’s not Dwayne Johnson’s fault. He did great in Jungle Cruise!
Starrider
Time for the rock to hit the road
Tenderbags
Rocks last match was against Cena in 2011? He had multiple matches against CM Punk in 2013, faced Cena at Mania in 2013 and had a match against Erik Rowan at Wrestlemania in 2016. Not to be all “uhm ackshually” about it, but come on flubbing basic research like that doesn’t exactly engender faith in the rest of the information in the article
Ttak76
Thank god!!! Get rid of him. The only Movie I’ve watched with him in it is the fast and furious movies and that’s only cause I love the movies and Vin Diesel. I refuse to watch anything Else with him in it I hate him!! He was a crappy wrestler and an even worse actor!!!!
Blaze
Why….. Black Atom was pretty good and needs a sequel that keeps everything from the first one and build on it.
Rhonda
You’re a great actor Dewayne Johnson! Let no one believe differently! Seems like some people are bitter because they can’t say anything positive!
Marlene
The hater’s are haters!!!! He is a great actor and great guy!!!!
ChasUGC
Exactly, I agree. Just haters.
Josie
I bet Dwayne Johnson will be fine without Disney. Just as I and many others are.
Ana
He doesn’t need them!!
Jim B
This isn’t so big a story. He wouldn’t do a TV series anyway. And besides, it wasn’t him that tested poorly, the movie sucked!
Randsab
I don’t watch anything that he’s in. So it’s a good move put somebody in I want to watch.
Barry
It’s easy to look for fault in people someone who has accomplish as much as the rock did so by being outstanding I like him his hairatige makes him a man that is very confident and humble hope he continues to do well
Gordon Fiddler
He has been in enough movies, time for someone else to earn fame. I am very proud of him. He has earned his mark. Started out with $7 in his pocket just before he was cut from the training camp of the CFL’s Calgary Stampeders in 94. From there he entered the WWF, now WWE. He has done so well for himself. In spite of being discouraged by the Head Coach Wally Buono of the then Calgary Stampeders. So Disney believes Dwayne Johnson has done enough. The Rock has done so well and irregardless of if Disney or something takes him on, he will always be the epitome of success. Rock on Rock.
ChasUGC
What do you expect in Amerikkka? Deny it all you want.
ricardo rodrigues
Dwayne Johnson was great in all those movies he’s very funny very likable. Just keep him family oriented. Don’t go into this other stuff that’s not traditional family.
Lindsay
I think its wonderful that Disney axed him. I cant that arrogant piece of garbage!
Dee W.
I think Disney is going broke and looking for cheaper versions of everything including a cheaper Rock. Disney has made majorly bad decisions that only costs them more money, including satisfying political agendas. So any reasons they give for things are suspect to me, but DJ stop following several companies that are entwined with Disney recently so I am thinking Disney could not keep any deals they had made with him and he rejected them.
Bob
Smart move disney. He is not an actor by any means. All he does is make remakes of previous movies that were bad. Wasn’t even a good wrestler.
Don
Lol. Who cares. He’s the highest paid actor in Hollywood. Disney is absolute liberal trash. Good riddenssss
Eyeswideopen
The rock is not a great actor. He has chosen a lane and he’s good at what he does. Mostly light fare , fun projects directed at kids. He never seems to be caught up in any scandals and is just a decent man. Go Rock! You’ve made your family proud.
thespadebaron
Maybe a movie where he takes more steroids than he’s already taking.
Ray
I really enjoy most of Dwayne Jonathan’s movies .He’s become a better actor & is a good humble person. I don’t think Disney should drop him if certain movies didn’t pa.n out it’s due to POOR writing. The actor’s do their part.NO one likes predictable plots unless you’re just going to entertain 5 yr Olds. Disney should open it’s eyes & look at the damn script ,before Oking it … Luv u ou Dwayne, keep up the work & have a blessed Christmas.
Lillian
The movie industry is not doing welk at all since COVID. He is playing a role in the movie. What are you asking for. He can not created his own role. If the producer says is ok. Then is OK. All the movies are preview before they go to the public. COVID change that market. Besides people are not paying 50.00 to see a movie.
Tom Pierce
I guess Disney is so big it can do as it wants. They’re missing a good actor
Mikko
Notice the trend of studios dumping their failures on to the actors, instead of acknowledging poor writing. Disney, Warner, Netflix, all if them have recently taken to actor blaming. The Rock isn’t the greatest actor out there, but has delivered great results when cast correctly.
Darryl
Some people shouldn’t be writers. This is nonsense. He’s one of the biggest actors in the world. Even if they begged him he wouldn’t be doing a Disney+ show. This was written just to have something to turn in.
Tim
All Disney is now is bigots and hypocrites
Pat Douglas
You bad for Disney. They will lose money on any move he doesn’t star in.
Lerf
Countless? I greatly enjoy DJ’s movies, but come on, writers, get a calculator.
GME61
Dwayne Johnson is amazing! Loved Witch Mountain, Hobbs and Shaw, Fast and Furious franchise. Tooth Fairy, Jumanji.
Actors are as good as the script allows, so fair suck of the sav!
The Rock is an incredible Entrepreneur and has many projects being very successful.
Tall Poppy Syndrome is caused by media and they break any actors success.
It is not a fair assumption by any Agency that an Actor who created billions of dollars into the coffers of these affiliates, then turn around and opt for a new “face”. If it works, do not break it. All comments and views are equally important, stay positive and shine💋
Asmodeus1971
It is a series, big names are often cut because of cost in series. It is why a few networks only keep shows for 3 to 5 seasons because the price per episode becomes too high when the cast becomes known.
Bertha George
This man is a very caring person
He did not know me from Adams house cat ( so to speak ).He found my story told by a relative, and offered me a position in one of his movies with pay.(That was a miracle out the blue for sure ) My son was in intensive care for sometime and I would not leave his side at that point in time.
Mr.Dwayne was such a gentleman,even help smile at that time through the enormous situation.I recommend another wonderful actor for the part he was asking me to fill ( she was great in that movie,she can play any role,also as Dwayne ” The Rock ” can also in my opinion.
This man help people behide the seen.As I said he did not and still dose not even know me.The kindness of strangers I never take lightly.( That’s a Jesus heart to me,no matter whom the person it.) Something I never dreamed of……👍
Jerry
We don’t talk about (Jack) Bruno….
Brittany
Considering how much it costs to have him show up for anything, could it be more of a financial reason why he was cut moreso than acting? If this isn’t a movie that is a guarantee box office smash, would it make sense to spend that much on a single actor? I thought this when they were going back and forth about him in Black Atom
Philip Brett
I hate the whole Disney corporation. I hope he, or anybody, never works with them again.
Joe
Jesus christ i dont care if brendan is back for the new mummy, i wont watch it if the rock is in it.
He has been shoved down our throats for too long that im sick of his movies. I quit his crap like 5 years ago. Hahahahahah anything with the rock is not really worth watching anymore.
Jimmy
His ego is bigger then Disney’s payroll
Mike Weinstein
All the haters in the comments😂😂😂
Terry
It’s always someone else’s fault, Disney needs to look at themselves. They get no more of my money regardless of the stars in their preachy movies
dude
I guess he just wasn’t gay or brown enough.
Gladious87
I could name a few actors that did the same thing haters the rock is a talented star and hes the people champ he brought back henry cavill in black adam for the fans. Don’t take away the people’s voice by Be littering A person that speaks for the fans. Here’s a few names to mention who play the same rolls in different movies
Robert Downey Jr, Scarlet Johanson,Chris Hemsworth,Chris Evans, Kiano Reaves, Arnold Swartzenegger, Tom cruis, all im saying Is it the formula works don’t mess with it
Stella
I was crew on a movie with him and he show little respect for cast and crew showing up several hours late to set making everyone sit and wait for him. Every day. Costly for the production and rude to the whole lot of us.
Smashcop1
You’re such a HEARTLESS MORON!!!!!
Smashcop1
DISNEY COMMITTED MUTINY!!!!! 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
Josh
He focuses on movies for 10yr old boys. You’re telling me Disney dropped him? It’s the rest of Hollywood that should turn him away. Undeniably hard working overachiever- but does he have the chops to take a leading role in blockbuster films?? Nah
D.
Well…if it’s about actors who have the same personality in every movie, I can think of several: John Candy, Tom Cruise, Mark Wahlberg, Steve Martin, Jonah Hill, Michael Cera, Seth Rogan, Adam Sandler, Christopher Mintz-Plasse, and Will Ferrell just to name a few…🤷🏽♀️
Astralia
Dwayne Johnson ‘The Rock’,
KEEP ON MAKING MOVIES!!!
I ENJOY SEEING HIS FACE, HEARING HIS VOICE, and Watching him do his thing.
WHAT’S NEXT, DWAYNE J?
Come with it, your audience awaits to see more of you.
Me
You’ve obviously never seen “Be Cool”.
Helen
Don’t get me wrong I love the rock but he doesn’t have the charisma that Captain Jack has and needs. that’s Johnny Depp
