With Skyscraper flopping, does The Rock need to change his gameplan?

Rock not playing 3rd or 4th fiddle to a racc00n and/or a tree voiced by Vin in Guardians
Rock not playing Jaws 2.0 with no lines for 007
Rock not getting killed by Goslin in the first 10 minutes in 2049
If Rock wants to be Kratos, he will be Kratos

Exactly. Yes Dave is doing well and I’m happy for him. But his movies aren’t about his characters. He’s not the headliner. Again, not saying I like all of rocks movies. If I had to pick I’m watching Batistas stuff 9 times out of 10. But if we’re talking business, purely from a money standpoint, they’re not playing in the same league. One is doing shows as the drummer or the guy who plays tambourine and the other is lead singer or lead guitar. We’re comparing ringo to John or Paul

3rd 4th fiddle, it doesn't matter, I find Bautista's choice in roles far more interesting than Rocky's. It'd be one thing if Bautista's performances were

getting panned but it's just the opposite. Critics loved the silent Mr. Hinx, audiences love Drax, his 10 minutes in 2049 was compelling stuff and in the 5 minute 2048

short film he showed great depth in the everyman role. He's done his redbox movies sure but he was doing it to get reps to get experience.

I respect the integrity rather than simply cashing in on my celebrity and fanbase with fast food roles.

Just my preference.

So we gonna just conveniently ignore Hotel Artemis flopping and the 20 or so straight to Red Box movies that Dave has been putting out on the regular since he became an actor?

I haven't seen Hotel Artemis and I don't care if it flops, everybody has flops. Bautista chooses quality roles now that he's being offered them after his 20 or so redbox

movies. He's more than earned his keep as an actor.

didn't say anything about quality or what you should like, i just stated why Rock not doing those roles, he's too big for them

And my post had nothing to do with the Rock not getting those roles. I was just simply proud of the roles Bautista chose for himself.

Nobody asked the Rock to do a poor man's die hard.

The rock has zero charisma or acting chops. If he is not part of a ensemble he fails. You see DC gave shazam to that queer over his roided up behind. Guaranteed he got epic debts in hollywierd. He stunk in gijoe and Hercules is in the 5 bin at best buy. Kill him and bring back Andre the Giant a much more talented actor.

you really don't think if Rock let it be known he wants the Kratos role, especially if its based off GoW 4, the studios would pick Batista over him? He already been rocking the grey beard lol

Studios greenlight stupid decisions all the time.

Bautista would be cheaper, and turn in the better performance, but I don't have the final say.

Dwayne has to have movies built around him being Dwayne, he can't slip into a role like Kratos.

nicca are u insane or live in a backwards world :dahell: his whole acting career is based off his charisma. Damn near every review for his movies talk about his charisma and charm he brings to the role more than anything else.

Yup referring to the tweet. Cats are assuming Rock's agent is missing but Rock knows what types of roles he wants to do and what he doesn't want to do. Just like Batista

On top of that... cats in here comparing supporting cast to actual star roles... that’s not a direct comparison
