All the Movies Promised By The Rock

A history of what Dwayne Johnson‘s been cooking.

Dwayne Johnson has been making movies for 15 years now, but many of us still think of him as The Rock. He’s still a wrestler-turned-actor rather than just one of the biggest movie stars on the planet. And yet he’s been a Hollywood player longer than he was a WWE superstar.

It’s hardly difficult to recall all the movies he’s been in. Johnson is one of the hardest working men in the business. He just finished shooting Baywatch and is already on the set of Fast 8, which he’s said to be a bigger part of than he was in Furious 7. Then he’s on to Jumanji and then…

Johnson has a lot of other movies supposedly lined up after that. The latest confirmed as being in the works is Shane Black’s adaptation of the “Doc Savage” pulp stories. It will probably happen, but who knows? Johnson has been attached to so many projects, it’s hard to know what’s actually cooking.

Here’s a little history of the movies that he’s been attached to that either never happened and never will or are still somewhere on the pipeline:
