Deagon would be my first Mortal Kombat Kharacter choice for the Rock https://t.co/CxkbAaPyZADwayne Johnson’s video game movie project - Mortal Kombat or Call of Duty?In the interview, the Rock only mentioned his involvement with a video game-based movie which sparked much speculation about the project. This unconfirmed project would be the third video game movie that the actor is involved with following his appearance in 2005’s Doom and 2018’s Rampage, which was a moderate success with over $400 million gross worldwide box office earnings.Meanwhile, Giant Freakin Robot claimed to have confirmed from their trusted insider that the secret project will be a Call of Duty movie. Previously, Activision roped in Stefano Sollima to helm the project while it was written by Scott Silver (of 2019’s Joker fame) and Solima. In 2020, the director, known for his works like Sicario: Day of the Soldado and Without Remorse, revealed that the movie was no longer “the industrial priority” for Activision.However, with the recent acquisition of Activision by Microsoft for almost $69 billion, it is plausible that Dwayne Johnson is back in talks to be cast as the lead in the upcoming warfare film. While it is likely that the Rock’s Seven Bucks Productions will be involved, it is unknown if Solima and Silver will be returning to the project.
