Moana 2 isn’t the only Disney movie that Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson will be starring in soon. During D23 2024, Johnson revealed that he will be starring in a live-action film about monster trucks.
“I love motorsports, I love monster trucks,” Johnson told the audience at the Disney Entertainment Showcase. “I came to [Disney co-chair Alan Bergman] and Disney to create something here that is immersive and fun and live-action. From the POV of these incredible monster trucks. Eccentric and crazy drivers. Monster Jam is going to be a fun ride.”
