A $25 million Hollywood hunk wanted to use the Rock's fame to launch his career
In Hollywood, there is no one who is similar to what Dwayne Johnson is able to provide fans. In any Johnson movie, there is one thing guaranteed for the audience
The Rock is going to act like The Rock. But what happens when there are actors who can do the same thing as Johnson and replace his role
Well, Fast X saw a new actor who many are saying, filled The Rock’s role in the franchise. But just a few years ago, the same actor wanted to star alongside Johnson to get a bigger platform.
Before Fast X was released, there were rumors about Jason Mamoa filling in the place left by Johnson’s Hobbs. Reports from The Sun corroborate these rumors saying, “There is no movement right now on getting Dwyane back in these movies.
That bridge is still burned and the casting of Jason Momoa in Fast X is meant to fill the void that Dwayne has left in the previous movie.”
With the success of Fast X, Mamoa’s appearance appears to be a great alternative for the Hobbs character. But not even two years ago, Mamoa was talking about featuring in a movie with The Rock.
Being a fresh action star, only being known for Aquaman, a movie with Johnson, could have been a great boost in Hollywood for Mamoa.
About working together in the future he said, “I met him almost 20 years ago in Hawaii. We tried to get together and make a movie together. But it’s just he’s way busier than I am and I’m pretty busy right now so, one of these days”
At the time, both Mamoa and Johnson were a part of the DCEU franchise. So it would have made a blast seeing the two on the screen together. Mamoa even curated a video for Johnson’s youngest daughter on her birthday as well.
So, it seems like the relationship between the two stars is friendly. Which is the total opposite of what his dynamic with Vin Diesel was.
