For one, while it is already tremendously expected that the Rock will be gracing his presence at SmackDown soon enough, fans were also desperately anticipating that he would also make a major appearance at WrestleMania later this year. However, now one theory is claiming that it might as well not happen – at least not in 2025, per the predictions.

The Rock is one of the biggest and most influential celebrities in the world. His career took off after his remarkable tenure as a WWE superstar, and he further transitioned to Hollywood to become a leading man under its bright lights.
The People’s Champion became an integral part of WWE last year by joining its parent company, Tko, as a member of the Board of Directors. He even wrestled a match at WrestleMania 40, which led to speculations that The Rock would come back this year for an in-ring showdown.
However, multiple reports leading up to the event stated that The Rock won’t wrestle this year. However, The Final Boss made a shocking announcement that he would be appearing on the upcoming February 21st edition of SmackDown.

Former WWE CEO Vince McMahon was certainly a personality. While he built the empire that was the WWE, the co-founder was also ruthless in his management style and crafted storylines that felt like fever dreams. Some may have worked with the masses, but some were just downright pointless and in bad taste.
One of the most annoying storylines in the recent past was former The Shield member Dean Ambrose’s heel turn before his departure from the WWE. Ambrose turned on his teammate Seth Rollins right after winning a tag-team championship match. However, this happened on the same night Roman Reigns announced his leukemia.

A Hawaii-set crime thriller, directed by Martin Scorsese and featuring an all-star cast, will see the filmmaker return to the mobster genre once again.
Reports of a new Martin Scorsese project have surfaced, and it looks as though the filmmaker is making a crime caper. According to Deadline, the veteran director will add a new movie about mobsters to a body of work that already includes Goodfellas, Gangs Of New York, Casino, The Departed and The Irishman.
This time around, Hawaii is the location, and Emily Blunt and Dwayne Johnson, stars of Jungle Cruise, and A24’s upcoming Mma drama, The Smashing Machine, reportedly brought the project to regular collaborators Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio. The pair must have liked what they heard because the whole package of story, director and stars is now being shopped around Hollywood and won’t be short of an interested party or two, we’d imagine.

Martin Scorsese is lining up a major new project, and it’s already shaping up to be one of the hottest packages in Hollywood. The legendary director is set to helm a crime drama starring Dwayne Johnson, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Emily Blunt. The film, currently untitled, will be written by journalist and author Nick Bilton and is inspired by real events.
The story focuses on a powerful and ruthless Hawaiian crime boss in the 1960s and 70s, a figure reminiscent of Robert De Niro’s Jimmy the Gent from Goodfellas. This mob leader fought to establish dominance in Hawaii’s criminal underworld, battling mainland syndicates and corporate interests while striving to protect his homeland.
The film is described as a sweeping crime saga, marking another venture into the gangster genre for Scorsese, who previously explored similar themes in The Departed and Goodfellas.

Over the course of an on-screen career spanning more than two decades, Emily Blunt has given some of the most top-notch performances across numerous genres, cementing her position among the greatest A-listers in Hollywood’s entertainment industry. Be it leading an action flick or a horror-thriller one, she has proven she can perfectly bring her excellence to it all.

However, as exceptional of an actress as she has proven herself to be, Blunt hasn’t really earned all that much official recognition from the Academy for the same. In fact, this stands true despite her star-studded resume that includes her having worked with some of the greatest directors of all time — one that even stars like Scarlett Johansson and Jennifer Lawrence would dream of.

At the ripe old age of 82, Martin Scorsese could be forgiven for slowing things down a little, for taking some time out to watch Captain America: Brave New World or binge a bit of Daredevil: Born Again perhaps. But vacation is evidently not a word in the octogenarian auteur's vocabulary, as just weeks after we learned that Scorsese's set to reteam with his Killers Of The Flower Moon lead Leonardo DiCaprio on The Devil In The White City, the octogenarian auteur is already lining up another tantalising new project. According to Deadline, Leo and Marty are shopping a Hawaii set crime drama around Hollywood, with DiCaprio set to star alongside another dynamic filmmaking duo, Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt.

For an actor who played one of the most famous gimmicks in the realm of pro wrestling, Dwayne Johnson’s feats in the realm of acting have been quite underwhelming. This isn’t surprising, as in the past, the WWE icon has prioritized his brand image over the quality of his movies, contributing to several forgettable action features.

The Hawaii-set crime caper, which is currently being shopped to studios and streamers, is drawing comparisons in the industry to “The Departed” and “Goodfellas.” Even in spirit, there are no deals in place and the viability of the project depends on a distributor, according to multiple sources familiar with the package, but the untitled drama is set to be written by author and journalist Nick Bilton, who helmed the 2021 HBO documentary “Fake Famous.”
Johnson and Blunt, who previously worked together on “Jungle Cruise,” brought the project to Scorsese and DiCaprio, and once they expressed interest, they all went to Bilton to ask him about writing.

For cinema owners, “Survive till 25” has become a mantra as one catastrophe after another has kicked their business’s recovery down the road. But the end of that long and winding road is here, so will the upcoming slate result in a true box office revival?
Over the next 11 months, Hollywood will unveil blockbuster hopefuls like “Mission: Impossible — The Final Reckoning,” “Jurassic World Rebirth,” “Avatar: Fire and Ash,” “Wicked: For Good” and “Superman” with the goal of boosting the business to something resembling its pre-covid stature. With the pandemic and strikes in the rearview, domestic revenues are projected to reach $9.3 billion to $9.5 billion for the year. Those returns would rank as the best post-pandemic stretch though still down from before times, when North American ticket sales regularly climbed to $10.5 billion to $11 billion.
“We’re post Covid and post strikes. This is the new normal now,” says Shawn Robbins, Fandango’s director of movie analytics.

WWE has been the sports entertainment juggernaut for over four decades in the business. The promotion started as a traditional wrestling business in its own territory under the regime of Vince McMahon Sr., who built top stars like Hulk Hogan during his time.
However, when his son, Vince McMahon Jr., bought the company from his father, he was set to change its image as a sports entertainment giant and become the sole dominator of the wrestling landscape. He began introducing elements of entertainment and storytelling with celebrities and characters on WWE TV.

Dwayne Johnson returned to the WWE last year in his true The Rock style, making fans of the star go crazy. The star also became a board member of Tko Group Holdings, the company in charge of WWE and UFC. The actor and wrestler also made an appearance on WrestleMania 40 and established himself as the Final Boss.
Johnson has a lot of mythos surrounding his The Rock persona. Be it his theme music or signature moves, his persona has made him one of the biggest WWE superstars that has also translated into Hollywood stardom. However, some of his signatures may not be as original as fans believe as WWE star Booker T accused him of stealing his catchphrases.

Fans won’t forget that one time Dwayne Johnson admitted in an interview how much he likes Megan Thee Stallion, specifically how much he wants to be her pet. As crazy as that sounds, the wrestler-turned-actor did not elaborate on his answer, but perhaps we understood where he was coming from.

Megan Thee Stallion is truly a stunning woman with a thriving career, and she’s had a couple of high-profile romances in the past years. We can’t blame The Rock if he’s crushing on her, and we also cannot blame comedian Chris Rock for wanting to take her out on a date, too.

Chris Rock did an episode with Kevin Hart on Peacock’s Hart to Heart where he revealed he once asked rapper Megan Thee Stallion on a date, and she refused.

Uwe Boll still plans on calling his next film The Dark Knight, even after a letter from Warner Bros.

Uwe Boll recently wrapped production on The Dark Knight, an action thriller which shares its name with Christopher Nolan’s acclaimed Batman movie. Although the director has said that his movie “is very different from Chris Nolan’s movie, so there is no danger of confusion,” Warner Bros. has reportedly sent Boll a stern letter saying he can’t use the title. As you might expect, Boll isn’t going to back down.
Boll confirmed on The Uwe Boll Podcast Network (via World of Reel) that Warner Bros. has sent a cease-and-desist letter regarding The Dark Knight. “DC and Warner already contacted and said I can’t use the title,” Boll said. “I understand that, but I told them, ‘Guys, remember Rampage, the Rock movie? You used my title.’ The fact that they did that and called me for permission, they could show gratefulness and say, ‘listen, it’s not a Batman movie,...

Armie Hammer's big comeback will see him team up with Uwe Boll for a movie called "The Dark Knight," which is about a vigilante who takes the law into his own hands to combat crime. Sound familiar? Well, don't worry, as the disgraced actor and world's worst movie director aren't remaking Christopher Nolan's acclaimed Batman movie of the same name. However, that reportedly hasn't stopped Warner Bros. Discovery from sending Boll a cease and desist letter ... though you probably won't be shocked to learn that the director famed for literally fighting his critics in a boxing ring has no intention of backing down.
"DC and Warner already contacted and said I can't use the title. I understand that but I told them, 'Guys, remember 'Rampage,' the Rock movie? You used my title," Boll revealed on "The Uwe Boll Podcast Network" (via World of Reel). "The fact that they did that,...

At the time of writing, it's been a couple months since Walt Disney Animation Studios released its latest feature-length film, the long-awaited sequel "Moana 2" (read /Film's review). As the film awaits its fate at the Academy Awards, it's managed to rake in more than one billion dollars worldwide, including over $450 million domestically. That should come as no surprise, considering how instantly beloved the original "Moana" was when it hit theaters in 2016.
Where "Moana" told the story of how the titular young woman (voiced by Auli'i Cravalho) went on an intense voyage across the ocean to help revive her village's dwindling harvests, "Moana 2" takes Moana and her demigod friend Maui (Dwayne Johnson) on a darker adventure that also ropes in a few other members of the village of Motonui.

The Fast & Furious franchise is one of the most iconic and enduring in cinematic history. What began as a street-racing drama in 2001 has evolved into a global action spectacle, blending high-octane car chases with explosive stunts and emotional storytelling.
With ten mainline films and a spin-off, the saga has amassed a massive fan following. The most recent entry, Fast X, released in 2023, served as the first part of the franchise’s two-part finale, promising a thrilling conclusion to Dominic Toretto’s story.
However, the eleventh installment, originally slated for a 2025 release, has seen significant delays.

Was the Red One’s budget increased because of Dwayne Johnson? (Photo Credit – Instagram)
According to TheWrap, Dwayne Johnson’s late arrivals caused major production delays. Insiders claimed that the Jumanji star’s schedule forced the crew to rearrange shoots, resulting in unexpected costs. One source didn’t hold back, saying, “Being chronically late” was Johnson’s only consistency.
The internet took notice, and reactions ranged from shock to memes. But one particular claim had people talking—a source alleged that Johnson “pees in a Voss water bottle” while on set, a habit he previously admitted to Esquire. “I usually stay pretty hydrated,” he explained. “I need to go to the bathroom a lot.”
But Red One wasn’t the only set where Johnson’s timing reportedly raised eyebrows. TheWrap spoke to insiders from Rampage, Ballers, and Red Notice, who claimed the actor’s delays impacted filming. One insider accused...

Dwayne Johnson a.k.a The Rock and Paul Levesque a.k.a Triple H were in a long-standing feud in the late ‘90s and the early 2000s in the WWE ring. The two emerging superstars at the time were put on opposing ends, with The Rock given a lot of promotion from WWE during his initial days, despite not being loved as much by fans.
The on-ring rivalry died down as the two moved to more management positions (and The Rock moved to Hollywood). However, Johnson came back to WWE last year as not just a player but also a board member of Tko Group Holdings, the company that handles the WWE. According to sources, Triple H and The Rock’s rivalry is still ongoing off the stage.

While the world knows Dwayne Johnson for his wrestling career and his appearances in blockbuster films, the legend has also been a part of reality TV. Back in 2013, Johnson started a television show called The Hero, where contestants were tested “physically, mentally, and morally” as they strived to win the ultimate title and a cash prize.

Entertainment journalism is, modestly speaking, a vital but mentally taxing burden we bear with quiet bravery.
We've had to not only see but analyze and remember corners of this industry no one should ever be exposed to. Our writers sometimes wake in a cold sweat, screaming about how it's fine to think the Snyder Cut is just "okay." If we close our eyes too tightly, we see flashes of the cursed photoshoot for Universal's Dark Universe, complete with Russell Crowe's hand awkwardly hovering over an invisible chair. And, when the night is quiet, the ghost of Dwayne Johnson promising to change the "hierarchy of power" echoes in the recesses of our once pure psyches.
But none of these compare to the pain that is remembering the birth, life, and agonizing death of Sony's "Spider-Man" Universe. For seven years, we watched them try again and again to prove...

Both comic books and pro wrestling have worked hard to overcome the stigma of being low-brow, "childish" form of entertainments, and both have managed to break through in recent years to enter popular culture's mainstream.
Seven of the top 25 highest-grossing movies are MCU movies, each of which grossed more than a billion dollars — also on that list in The Incredibles 2, which, although not based on a comic book itself, is a major throwback to the classic comics of the Silver Age.
Similarly, while pro wrestling hasn't quite return to the heights of the golden ages of the mid-80s and the turn of the millennium, the industry has been going through its biggest boom period in a long time, thanks in part to the three major wrestling promotions in the US — WWE, Aew and Total Nonstop Action — all signing newer and better broadcasting deals for their TV programs in recent years.

WWE has a long history of unforgettable championship moments. From the underdog victories that shake arenas to shocking betrayals that leave fans speechless, title reigns in professional wrestling are often about more than just holding a belt.
They tell stories, some of perseverance, others of dominance, and a few that are just downright bizarre. Superstars like John Cena, Seth Rollins, and Roman Reigns have had legendary championship runs, defining eras and creating memories that live on for generations.

But one WWF title reign stands out, not for its dominance, nor its dramatic buildup, but for just how absurdly short it was. A reign so brief that if you blinked, you might have missed it entirely. And no, we’re not talking about an impromptu Money in the Bank cash-in or a quick roll-up victory. This was something far more unique and infamous.

Indeed, if this rumor holds any truth, we could say goodbye to that long-awaited showdown between the two Samoan titans at the grand stage of WrestleMania. Why, you ask? Because if The Rock steps into Apocalypse’s shoes, he might not have the time to go toe-to-toe with his cousin,...

When "Family Guy" first came on the air, it was quick to draw comparisons to other animated adult sitcoms. The dynamics, such as having Peter Griffin (Seth MacFarlane) as the bumbling patriarch against his much more forgiving wife, Lois (Alex Borstein), were certainly similar, but "Family Guy" broke the mold, too. It utilized cutaway gags that were funny even divorced from the context of the episode. Plus, the show leaned far more into pop culture references than many of its contemporaries.
Plenty of shows reference movies and other TV series, but "Family Guy" turned it into a work of art, such as by having an extended sequence ripping off "Amadeus." This can also be found in the way "Family Guy" utilizes its guest stars. Sometimes, a person returns repeatedly to voice a recurring character, but oftentimes, celebrities play exaggerated versions of themselves to hilarious effect.
