@humminbird did you like the Hercules movie he was in?
Is there something going on with The Rock?

I mean it's pretty simple. Too much bad press and box office tanks got him crawling back to Vin Diesel to leech onto a multibillion dollar franchise. Like I said years ago The Rock just isn't a big enough star to lead his own franchise. He gets paid due to his production company doing partnerships with studios but The Black Adam debacle with him taking over and the production company going over budget, trying to strong arm DC left a really bad taste in a lot of people's mouths. It didnt bring back the money they wanted and the James Gunn reset pretty much let him know your production company partnership days are numbered in Hollywood. Hope it works out for him.

I don't know! Is he really in trouble? Doesn't he own the XFL now?
Black Adam was a huge flop. Huuuge. He thought it was going to be a franchise. Probably didn't have a whole lot lined up after that, or lost a few roles.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?

that nikka got humbled cuz the FF franchise didn't miss a beat without him. he learned where his bread is buttered.
but seriously we talking about a pissing contest between vin diesel and the rock, and both are worth 9 figures

Oh yeah, I forgot about the XFL
The rock treating Hollywood like it’s wrestling. You can’t just challenge an actor for the franchise and call it a day.

coli "hot take"
you have 70 and 80 year old denzel, liam neeson, colin firth etc running around - actors who only started being action heroes in their 50's.
60 year old tom cruise still doing it.
the expendables - average age around 70
donnie yen and keanu reeves ~60 tearing up the screen in john wick 4 .. john wick 5 coming soon ..
with camera work and CGI these guys can do action as long as they look the part.
the rock has a big frame. he can do action even after he loses muscle.
55 year old denzel
65 year old denzel
you serious @ChatS-H-*-T ?
Y'all talking bout him like he's Steven Seagal
Rock wishes he had a movie he starred in solo as good and as profitable (adjusted for inflation) as Under Siege 1.
Black Adam was him shooting his shot at being a franchise centerpiece. He failed and knows how big of a loss it was on his end
He's cutting his losses and looking for his best possible angle at survival and preserving his status
Basically he flew too close to the sun and is fixing his wings while he still has time

Yea, I’m just going to pretend like you just didn’t compare the rock to Denzel.

the rock has a good 10 and maybe even 15 years left in him
his biggest problem is maintaining that size
