Dude is doing interviews with people he would’ve never done them with before. Also he was adamant about never working with Vin diesel and Tyrese again but he signed back up for fast and furious? Has he toned down his arrogance?
Is there something going on with The Rock?

The Black Adam debacle forced him to become less of an egomaniac.

Dwayne Johnson’s Alleged Ego Tanked ‘Black Adam’ and ‘Shazam’: Report
A new report alleges that The Rock tried to insert himself in the middle of Warner Bros.’ rebooted DC Universe, derailing both his own film and “Shazam: Fury of the Gods.”
He basically forced himself into the DCU, and made them agree to put him against Cavill in a Superman vs BA movie, when DC was scrambling because MCU was slumping them. Then, James Gunn took over, BA bombed, and Gunn told him to see his way out. Rock was riding high, grossing billis for the studios, and decided to make a big play, it backfired, he got humbled. We will see if he stays humble, or is just waiting in the wings to strike again

Here's the short of it: The Rock wanted to play Black Adam for ages and DC was all about it. However, the production of the movie took many twists and turns and Dwayne implanted many of his own people on the project, he was basically allowed to take near creative control of the entire thing. The budget ended up going completely out of control, some say it ballooned to over $250M.
So, he really needed it to be a big hit and it wasn't. It was a pretty big flop considering how much the budget was. The Rock also snubbed them on being in the Shazam universe until all of this was over with. Black Adam is the major antagonist to Shazam.
Meanwhile, Warner Bros. merged with Discovery and has a bunch of new executives.
The Rock attempted a power play against WB/Discovery and wanted them to greenlight a sequel with him and Henry Cavill returning as Superman.
The new executives told The Rock to get the hell out of here with that and James Gunn (coming over from Marvel who is now the new President of DC) announced a slate of new DC movies and none of them are going to feature Dwayne.
The Rock found out a lot about trying to make power plays vs. multi-billion dollar corporations. Very few in Hollywood would have gotten away with it, Actually I don't think anyone would.
He is now trying to rebuild his image.

Oh dang, I knew Black Adam flopped but I didn’t know about the behind the scenes stuff
The Rock trying to make a power play like that in his 50’s doesn’t make sense. Not saying it’s over for him but his best Action packed roles are definitely behind him, he would’ve had to try and pull this years ago.

Solo projects his numbers are horrible and he had to realized he need two or 3 other good actors on the screen to get numbers
It’s like do u want to hear 12 songs with just Dr Dre rapping on it? Or u need to have snoop, kurupt, game, Kendrick on it as well to really go out and buy it
