In the entertainment industry, few celebrities have the influence or the reach of Dwayne Johnson. The wrestler-turned-actor meteoric rise from WWE superstardom to Hollywood dominance has been nothing short of legendary, and he has carved a separate niche for himself, both in the world of wrestling and acting.

Known for his electrifying charisma and larger-than-life persona, it was nothing short of legendary the way The Rock made it to WWE’s Monday Night Raw back in 2016. The backstage entry was worth every penny, but the moment that stood out the most was when the wrestler hilariously told a WWE superstar that he could have stolen his Hollywood spotlight.

Red One, starring Dwayne The Rock Johnson and Chris Evans, completes its first week at the theatres. Although the numbers are not splendid yet, it has been holding its own ground pretty well. The action comedy flick grossed winning numbers on Thursday despite Thursday previews of Gladiator II and Wicked. Scroll below for the deets.

Wicked is headed for an exceptional debut weekend at the box office in North America, and Gladiator II is also looking good. This movie, led by The Rock and the MCU star, is already trending in the media, as the audience is enjoying it even though the critics’ ratings are not so good. The Rock’s star power is working wonders in taking the film’s box office collection moving forward.

While its always great for audiences to show their support for the hard work the production crew and stars put into a movie, some post-credits scenes truly were not worth the wait. To make a feature film is a major endeavor, so its important to give the crew their due and stick around for the credits, but if the only reason a viewer was watching them was to see the final scene or catch a hidden Easter egg, plenty of films would leave them disappointed. As post-credits scenes have become more common in recent years, in some cases, they feel needlessly tacked on and without much depth or interest.

The best post-credits scenes offer something new and exciting for viewers to look forward to. This could be the introduction of a long-awaited character, a new plot point that lays the groundwork for a sequel, or even just one final gag...

Henry Cavill In A Dramatic Scene From The Witcher Series ( Photo Credit – Facebook )

Curious about why Henry Cavill is being replaced by Liam Hemsworth in The Witcher Season 4? While the exact reason remains unclear, plenty of theories are circulating. This article will dive into two of the most popular speculations.

Creative Disagreements

In 2019, Henry Cavill confidently claimed he could juggle The Witcher alongside any other project, even committing to a seven-season arc as long as the series stayed true to Andrzej Sapkowski’s original works. However, as fan frustration grew over the show’s deviations from the source material, rumors began to swirl that Cavill shared their discontent, especially since he had long advocated for a more book-accurate portrayal of Geralt. Behind-the-scenes tensions seemed to build, and Cavill’s comments about stepping away if he felt he was “doing the wrong thing” before his departure only fueled speculation that creative...

The You cant see me catchphrase evolved into a hilarious John Cena meme joking that the WWE star-turned-actor was invisible. Cena's provocative taunt to his opponents fits into the great pantheon of wrestling catchphrases that has long been part of each fighter's armory. Alongside The Undertaker's chilling Rest in peace and Dwayne The Rock Johnson's somewhat strange If you smell what The Rock is cooking, Cena's is one of the most quotable. The taunt which Cena uses to suggest that his wrestling moves are too fast for his opponents to see coming has a sweet and funny origin.

Cena wrestled in WWE for several years before he moved to Hollywood. Cena spent most of that time as a face (a good guy in wrestling terminology), although he started as a heel (a villain) regularly taunting his opponents. Even after turning good,...

Remember ‘Black Adam’ released in 2022? If you don’t it’s perfectly fine since the movie was a commercial flop and panned by critics. Its only redeeming quality is the fact that Dwayne The Rock Johnson played the character, seemingly born to bring it to live action.

One of the things however that you will most likely remember if you watched the movie at all is the post-credit scene that promises a bright future for both Johnson’s Black Adam and Cavill’s Superman.

This future did not come to pass however as several months after the release of ‘Black Adam’ it was announced that Dceu would not continue and would instead be replaced by Gunn and Safran’s Dcu. Cavill lost his role of Superman which ultimately went to David Corenswet, and we all lost the opportunity to see two of the most powerful characters in DC Comics fight.

Kevin James and other recognizable actors are imagined as Family Guy characters in a live-action concept trailer. Created by Seth MacFarlane, the long-running animated series follows the Griffin family and various Quahog residents through comical adventures. Along with MacFarlane, who voices Peter and Stewie Griffin, among other Family Guy characters, the cast includes Alex Borstein, Seth Green, Mila Kunis and more. The show has featured many scenarios and tomfooleries, but a live-action adaptation or single episode event never transpired, despite interest from fans.

In a recent concept trailer posted by Multiverse of Movies, AI was used to create live-action versions of Family Guy characters. Check out the video below:

Actor and comedian Kevin James is imagined as Peter, and Elizabeth Banks as Lois. Jonah Hill and Rob Schneider are pictured as Chris and Brian, respectively, while Kunis appears as her character, Meg. Other actors imagined for a live-action Family Guy...

Dceu started out as a largely ambitious idea to replicate the success of the rival MCU. Warner Bros. came up with a decade-long plan to bring to the big screen some of the most iconic characters from the DC comic universe.

While the movies were profitable, the audiences disliked Snyder’s darker take on the characters and it was eventually disbanded with Gunn’s newly rebooted Dcu put in place. While some movies were considered to be excellent, Dceu did give us some absolute flops. Due to this reason alone, fans gathered on Ranker to vote for the 10 worst Dceu movies, so, let’s check them out.

10. ‘The Suicide Squad’ (2021)

Following the mixed reception of David Ayer’s ‘Suicide Squad’ (2016), there were high expectations for Gunn’s take. Some fans were disappointed because the film didn’t align with their expectations or preferences for the franchise. Gunn’s trademark irreverent humor and over-the-top style,...

People massively underestimate Arnold Schwarzeneggers acting abilities; hes proven with movies like Maggie and The Terminator that hes not just a one-note action hero. Schwarzenegger started out as a bodybuilder before making the transition to acting, and as with anyone who comes to acting from another field whether that field is music, wrestling, or something else his dramatic capabilities have been consistently underrated. Theres a misconception that Schwarzenegger plays the same character in every movie, like Dwayne The Rock Johnson, but thats simply not true. Schwarzenegger has played all kinds of roles, from a killer cyborg to a pregnant man.

Schwarzenegger certainly has a familiar on-screen persona that can be seen in a lot of his action movies, like Commando and The Expendables saga, and that on-screen persona is a lot of fun to watch. But hes shown time and time again that hes capable of so much more than that.

Travis Kelce may be shifting from an NFL career to acting, following in the footsteps of WWE stars-turned-actors like John Cena and Dwayne Johnson. Kelce's involvement in the action-comedy Loose Cannons, alongside action-movie director Chad Stahelski, hints at a possible transition to Hollywood roles. Kelce's success in movies could lead to retirement from football, considering the physical demands and injury risks associated with both careers.

Travis Kelce won the Super Bowl in 2023, appeared in Taylor Swifts Eras Tour, and has recently landed a starring role in Lionsgates new movie Loose Cannons, raising the question of what's next for his career. Loose Cannons is an upcoming action-comedy produced by John Wick director Chad Stahelski. It wont be Kelces first venture into Hollywood. Hes featured in advertisements and on SNL, documentaries, and reality TV, and will have a role in the horror-drama series Grotesquerie this September. Loose Cannons will be Kelces first lead role,...

For most of our readers, Herny Cavill is known as the man who portrayed Superman between 2013 and 2022 (2023 if you count uncredited cameo in ‘The Flash’). The actor has a lot of fans and we’re regularly reporting on his ventures, as his name still holds gravity in the industry.

But it seems that his star power seems to be somewhat fading in recent times, and everything started with his role in Dceu.

As you’re probably aware Cavill’s career as Superman went down in infamy as fans liked his portrayal but hated the dark twist that Snyder has put on the character overall. All projects that involved Cavill as Superman received mixed reviews at best. In 2022 he was teased to be back as Superman in the post-credits scenes of ‘Black Adam,’ but following Dwayne The Rock Johnson’s failed “alleged” takeover of DC Studios, Cavill was fired as Superman.

After much uproar and criticism, 81-year-old current President of the United States, Joe Biden has finally stepped down from the upcoming presidential race. With elections in November, Biden has also endorsed his vice president, Kamala Harris, as the next Democratic nominee. Yet, it remains unclear who will take Biden’s place in the race next.

Seeing the ‘circus’ the American Democracy has been lately, there have been renewed calls for Hollywood star and WWE champion, Dwayne Johnson to take Biden’s place. A popular fan choice, Johnson has more than once expressed his interest in politics and even endorsed Biden in the 2020 presidential elections.

John Cena's WWE farewell tour presents an opportunity for epic matches with legendary opponents before he steps away from the ring. A possible dream match on Netflix's WrestleMania debut could see Cena take on The Rock in a battle of two iconic WWE superstars. The Farewell Tour may include showdowns with up-and-coming stars like Logan Paul and Bron Breakker, paving the way for new talent in WWE.

As the tears of wrestling fans across the world slowly begin to dry, the reality of John Cena's WWE last dance is upon us. Following the sad news that John Cena is to retire from WWE, the movie star and Fruity Pebbles ambassador will be calling time on a legendary in-ring career that has spanned over 22 years. In 2025, the WWE's first year on Netflix will see the legend taking part in a Farewell Tour that will take in "between 30 or 40 dates" including next year's Royal Rumble,...

MultiVersus, the crossover fighting game from Warner Bros, was recently launched worldwide on 28th May. There are many comic book characters for players to pick. But the most intriguing character is the new version of Joker, The Batman Who Laughs who has left fans talking and laughing.

In one of the fighting sequences, The Joker’s new version trolls Black Adam by asking him, weren’t you supposed to rearrange the hierarchy in DC Universe? This was a clever jab at Dwayne The Rock Johnson aka Black Adam.

Dwayne Johnson's new movie The Smashing Machine fixes the criticism of his repetitive roles. Johnson's transformation into Mma legend Mark Kerr is a departure from his recent action-packed blockbusters. The gritty biopic promises to showcase Johnson's acting talent and humanize a troubled character.

While Dwayne Johnson looks unrecognizable in his new A24 movie The Smashing Machine, this proves that the star is finally addressing the oldest criticism about his choice of movie roles. Since his movie career began, Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson has been pulled in two divergent directions. While the star has appeared in many major blockbusters like Fast Five, the Jumanji movies, and Black Adam, he also balanced these out with smaller projects like Southland Tales, Pain & Gain, and Fighting With My Family. Ranking Dwayne Johnsons movies proves that these personal movies dont always fare better with critics than his blockbuster hits.

Marvel Studios has plenty of projects in the making, even after it was announced by Iger that they plan on significantly reducing their output. One of the most anticipated projects it’s certainly an ‘X-Men’ live-action reboot.

The reboot has been in plans ever since Disney took control of Fox properties X-Men and Fantastic Four. Now we don’t know whether the rumor we have for you is tied specifically to the X-Men reboot but it certainly sounds like that.

Namely, according to MyTimeToShineHello Marvel Studios is looking to nab Dwayne The Rock Johnson to play notable X-Men villain, Apocalypse. Apocalypse has was already adapted to screen for ‘X-Men: Apocalypse’ played by Oscar Isaac, and since he is already playing Moon Knight in the MCU, it’s understandable why they simply can’t rehash the actor.

Marvel wants Dwayne Johnson to play Apocalypse

One of the things however that you will most likely remember if you watched the movie at all is the post-credit scene that promises a bright future for both Johnson’s Black Adam and Cavill’s Superman.

Back when the movie flopped there were rumors going around that The Rock wanted to completely change the hierarchy of power within the DC, quite literally as he allegedly wanted to take over the studio and position his own production house to the top to handle all upcoming Dceu projects.

The Wrap made an exclusive report on the whole affair a few days ago. According to...

The new live-action Moana will star Dwayne The Rock Johnson as Maui, with art imagining Zendaya as Moana. The fan-created images also include characters like the pig and the crab, giving fans a glimpse of the world. While Zendaya has star power and singing experience, her age may be a detractor from playing the 16-year-old Moana.

New live-action Moana art imagines Zendaya and The Rock in the lead roles. Following the release of Moana 2 this year, Moana will also be getting a live-action retelling that is currently set for release on July 10, 2026. So far, the only confirmed actor to be in Moana is Dwayne The Rock Johnson, who will be returning to his role as Maui.

Now, art from @manmeetsmachine offers a look at what Johnson will look like in his role, and includes a version of Moana played by Zendaya. The art is delivered as a series of images,...

After making his name in the wrestling industry, Dwayne Johnson finally decided to try his hand at acting and The Mummy Returns (2001) helped his dreams become a reality. Unfortunately, the role given to him was not what his fans would have imagined at all. Dwayne Johnson played the role of The Scorpion King, an unintentionally hilarious CGI demigod.

While the character was supposed to be intimidating, viewers couldn’t help but spare a laugh at the ridiculousness of it all. A giant scorpion with Dwayne Johnson’s face? There’s no way the audience was going to have nightmares about this. However, the horrible presentation of the character was not Dwayne Johnson’s fault.

Hollywood almost made people forget how cutthroat Dwayne The Rock Johnson can be inside the ring. After taking the WWE world by storm, the actor and pro wrestler is once again hyping up fans for the upcoming Cody Rhodes vs. The Rock showdown by delivering fiery promos. And this time he made the matter way too personal! He officially breached the line by bringing Mama Rhodes into the conversation!

Beefs leading up to the fight have always been the best part of WWE. Dwayne Johson’s return to business, the game has become even more interesting, particularly his beef with Cody Rhodes, which stands out as top-notch. Since then, social media has become the battleground for The Rock, as Johnson now not only targeted Rhodes but also his mother, Michelle Rubio.

Oscars 2024 just got a little Nsfw after John Cena walked onto the stage naked to present the Best Costume Design category. Cena’s point was to prove why costumes were so important and his Barbie co-star Margot Robbie couldn’t stop blushing and laughing at his hilarious antics. But fans also noticed how well-maintained the WWE star’s body was. His clearly demarcated abs were one of the highlights of this Oscar evening.

In comparison, another WWE wrestler-turned-actor could never dream of having the new Oscar streaker’s abs. Dwayne Johnson, who is known for his muscular, well-toned body in Hollywood, cannot have a six-pack due to medical reasons.

It’s the NASCAR season and the world of sports is gearing up to witness some of the most amazing sports events in the world. Drawing thousands of viewers each time, the Daytona 500 is the iconic opening event of the NASCAR Cup Series, held annually at the Daytona International Speedway in Dayton Beach, Florida. And like every other year with a famous celeb serving as the Grand Marshall, it was Dwayne the Rock Johnson who held the title this time.

Yet Johnson is not the only celebrity fond of high-speed racing and the thrill attached to it. NASCAR has witnessed more dignitaries and celebrities than events like the Oscars, for apparently driving around in circles is as hypnotizing and intriguing as it can get, literally.

Time magazine declared Taylor Swift as 2023’s person of the year on Wednesday, and accompanied the announcement with a rare interview from the artist in which she reflected on the year of her career that truly put her on top of the world. Unsurprisingly, right-wing commentators took the opportunity to interpret Swift’s well-earned success to launch into a conspiracy theory bender.

Swift, who has publicly aligned herself with the pro-choice movement and declared her opposition to former President Donald Trump, has become the ire of a vocal group of...

Countdown number-wrangler Carol Vorderman will tell you that she appeared on the very first celebrity version of a British TV show in December 1998, but Carol Vorderman has been getting high on her own supply. 18 months before she gave her Cher in a 1998 episode of Celebrity Stars in Their Eyes, Wendy Richard and Todd Carty from EastEnders graced episode one of Celebrity Ready Steady Cook, and they’d appreciate Vorders giving it a bit less of all that, thank you.

The point being: celebrity versions of TV shows are mostly dross. Not being able to choose from the top drawer of fame, they generally feature the packing peanuts of the TV world. These shows use what might be described as a homeopathic definition of ‘celebrity’, in that this glass of water has a better chance of remembering who any of the cast are than I do.

The cast of Celebrity Race Across the World is different.

Exclusive: Nancy Dubuc is leaving Vice Media Group where she was CEO for the past five years. She just announced her decision to her staff in a memo (you can read it below.) It comes as the board has launched a process to sell — an acquisition of the whole company, a strategic recapitalization, or other transactions involving individual assets — under the oversight of a Special Board Committee. According to sources, Dubuc was at the end of her contract and decided it was time to move on.

“Nancy joined Vice at a pivotal time and put in place an exceptional team that has positioned the company for long-term success,” the company’s board of directors said in a statement. “We thank Nancy for her many contributions and will soon announce new leadership to guide Vice forward into its next stage of growth and transformation.”
