Dwayne Johnson Teases That He’s Bringing Another “Badass” Video Game to the Screen
Dwayne Johnson is clearly committed to making as many movies as he’s had matches in his pro wrestling career, and up next he’s teasing another video game adaptation for the screen.
Johnson, who has starred in big screen adaptations of video games including Doom and Rampage, teases the mysterious upcoming project in a new chat with Men’s Journal.
The wrestler-turned-Hollywood star teases, “We’re going to bring one of the biggest, most badass games to the screen–one that I’ve played for years.”
“I can’t tell you which game in particular we’re doing, but there will be an announcement this year. 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,” he adds.
Twitter is currently lighting up with guesses under the #DwayneJohnson hashtag, with games including Gears of War, God of War, Fortnite, and Grand Theft Auto being mentioned.

Filming is underway on The Invisible Man director Leigh Whannell’s Wolf Man for Universal and Blumhouse, which will be howling its way into theaters on January 17, 2025.
Deadline reports that Matilda Firth (Disenchanted) is the latest actor to sign on, joining Christopher Abbott (Poor Things), Julia Garner (The Royal Hotel), and Sam Jaeger.
The project will mark Whannell’s second monster movie and fourth directing collaboration with Blumhouse Productions (The Invisible Man, Upgrade, Insidious: Chapter 3).
Wolf Man stars Christopher Abbott as a man whose family is being terrorized by a lethal predator.
Writers include Whannell & Corbett Tuck as well as Lauren Schuker Blum & Rebecca Angelo.
Jason Blum is producing the film. Ryan Gosling, Ken Kao, Bea Sequeira, Mel Turner and Whannell are executive producers. Wolf Man is a Blumhouse and Motel Movies production.
In the wake of the failed Dark Universe, Leigh Whannell’s The Invisible Man has been the only real success story for the Universal Monsters brand, which has been struggling with recent box office flops including the comedic Renfield and period horror movie The Last Voyage of the Demeter. Giving him the keys to the castle once more seems like a wise idea, to say the least.
