Dwayne Johnson Takes Over Lead Role in ‘Snow White’

Actor Dwayne Johnson has taken on some intriguing roles before, but perhaps none as daring as this.

Dwayne Johnson’s transition from wrestling to acting began in the early 2000s with a role in The Mummy Returns 2001, where he played the Scorpion King.

This appearance led to a spinoff film titled The Scorpion King 2002, marking his first major acting role. Although the film was met with mixed reviews, it established Johnson as a potential action star.

He continued to build his acting career with films like The Rundown 2003, Walking Tall 2004, and Gridiron Gang 2006. However, it was his role as Luke Hobbs in the Fast Furious film franchise that catapulted him to international stardom.

Dwayne Johnson’s collaboration with Disney has further solidified his status as a versatile and bankable actor. One of his notable Disney projects is the animated film Moana 2016, in which he voiced the character Maui

The film’s success showcased Johnson’s ability to connect with family audiences and provide his voice to a beloved animated character.

Additionally, Johnson starred in Disney’s Jungle Cruise 2021, which is based on the Disney theme park attraction of the same name.

In this adventure-comedy film, he plays the lead role alongside Emily Blunt. Jungle Cruise blends action, humor, and fantasy elements, making it a fitting addition to Johnson’s repertoire of family-friendly films.

Now, as we look toward the future, Disney faces one of its more controversial projects.

Disney has been in production of its new live-action Snow White for quite some time now. The new film, which stars Rachel Zegler as Snow White, has faced a myriad of controversies, many stemming from Zegler’s comments herself.
