Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson is looking to get back in business with a popular studio for a new thriller film. It's been reported that he will have a supporting role.
The People's Champion is one of the biggest names in Hollywood right now. He has starred in countless hit movies after stepping away from professional wrestling and transitioning to acting. He still makes sporadic appearances in WWE, where he plays a heel known as The Final Boss.
According to Deadline, The Rock will get back in business with A24 after working with the studio on the MMA drama The Smashing Machine, which will be released later this year. The Brahma Bull will co-star in the psychological thriller film Breakthrough. The website reports that the movie will be produced and financed by A24.

"Set in turn-of-the-millennium Southern California, the story follows an alienated young man who comes under the influence of a motivational guru, whose intoxicating charm masks his morally questionable methods of manipulation and his own concealed darkness. We’re told Johnson will play the supporting role of the guru, with casting still underway for the lead role and other supporting parts," reported Deadline.
The Rock's production company, Seven Bucks Productions, will be involved in the project. The former WWE Champion will also star in an upcoming Martin Scorsese gangster film set in Hawaii.
A former WWE employee thinks The Rock and Triple H have heat
On the Behind The Turnbuckle: The Last Word podcast, Jonathan Coachman said he was convinced that the rumors of Triple H and The Rock not getting along were true. Former WWE employee Tommy Carlucci, his co-host, said he felt the same.
"I think there's a lot of heat backstage. I think [The] Rock and Triple H are having some heat. And it's showing with the product because it's just not there. You know, WrestleMania is probably one of the worst WrestleManias we've seen in a long time. And now Backlash looked like a house show," Carlucci said.
The Great One was last seen at WWE Elimination Chamber. It's unknown when or if he'll make another televised appearance.
