Is it confirmed that he's in it? I thought they were going to do another bad spinoff for him because he can't get along well with Vin.
Yeah they set it up at the end of the last one
I remember that, but I'm still not convinced that his ego will allow for him to share a movie with Vin.

He's got tons of potential for a bunch of sequels that middle aged white women will swoon over. The Other Guys 8, Moana live action, Jumanji 3-11, The young Rock on NBC. Sorry guys, he's going to be around for a while.

Haha no. That just seemed like one of those franchises that would do a bunch of shitty sequels. Did he die?

The Rock is good. Too many bad projects lately but when he dials in (Pain & Gain, Fast Five), he's got juice.

He was talented and hardworking but seems content churning out slop and playing the same tired character while he shills his liquor brand or whatever. It worked for a long time, but it seems that the formula is dead.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Hold up, you need to be properly informed in order to think The Rock is "good"?

You're trying too hard to be contrarian again. This is next level spectral adolescent behavior, even for you.

Hanging with the Rock would be like stepping into an infomercial. I bet he's insufferable.

Denying his charisma on screen is just foolish, doing so is the contrarian take. Most of the world outside the Gen X RM bubble does not share a lot of the opinions you seem to think are just understood as correct, which is ironic considering how much you like to throw around neurodivergence as an insult to people who disagree with you
