The Rock is in another video game movie, these are the terrible possibilities

Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is getting ready to star in another video game movie, according to a recent interview with Men’s Journal about his upcoming superhero movie Black Adam. The Men’s Journal interview specifically mentions that Johnson has worked with Microsoft and Xbox in the past, which seems like a very pointed question unless that’s who he’s teaming up with next. The first thing that comes to mind is Gears of WarJohnson gave only a few clues in Johnson’s interview.

“I can’t tell you which game in particular we’re doing, but there will be an announcement this year,” Johnson told Men’s Journal. “We’re going to bring one of the biggest, most badass games to the screen—one that I’ve played for years. I’m really excited to bring it to fans around the world. Of course we’re going to do right by our gamer friends—but really we’re just going to make a great movie.”

Whatever the movie, it won’t be Johnson’s first foray into video games on film. Johnson is the recipient of this honor. DoomThe incredibly irrebegotten shooting star adaptation of 2005. The Rock was also a star in the film. RampageThe arcade game was loosely inspired by the premise of. Doom. (And this isn’t even counting Johnson’s roles in the Jumanji remakes where he’s The technical aspect(A videogame character. With such a checkered past, there’s not a lot of reasons to be optimistic about Johnson’s new video game project, but here are our worst guesses:

Viva Piñata

Ideally, the Piñatas here would look exactly as detailed as the animals from Disney’s 2019 It Lion KingDwayne Johnson and remake would take care of them. Wait. Perhaps this is a brilliant idea.

Fortnite

No, Fortnite Microsoft does not own it, however this is an easy answer. The Rock, after all, is in Fortnite, so the idea that he’s making a movie based on the game isn’t much of a leap. On the other hand, it’s not totally clear why Epic would want to make a Fortnite film when every movie wants to be in Fortnite.

Doom

The Rock may be a nigh untouchable A-lister now, but that wasn’t always true. Johnson was in some poorly-received films in his early movies career. Doom Being the most talked about and high-profile. There is nothing more The Rock than returning to the most famous flop of his career to show that he can make it right. It even fits the Microsoft requirement, thanks to the company’s acquisition of Bethesda.

Mario

This also isn’t a Microsoft game, but the idea of Dwayne Johnson playing a live-action version of Wario in the, otherwise entirely animated, Mario This movie is hilarious.
