Dwayne Johnson is infamous in acting circles for being the perfect action hero. For many people, he delivers the same acting performance which many people love, thus making his movies successful. While Johnson has diversified his roles in the past, they weren’t successes. This brings out the question of when will the same role be enough for fans, and will fans start hating The Rock for the lack of diversity.

Recently, Johnson’s name is floating around in the production of popular video game series. Will fans once again rain down on Johnson or will they wait and see what’s the official status of the project?

Recently, a fan posted a tweet where they claim that the directors of the God of War TV series are considering The Rock as their Kratos. For the uninitiated, Kratos and God of War are one of the most beloved Sony exclusives in the video game industry. Last year it was revealed that Amazon is planning to release a series of the video game.

Having Johnson as the main protagonist, Kratos, will surely get many eyes watching. This Prime exclusive could also act as a jumping-off point for Johnson to explore more roles in his acting roles. Despite being action-oriented, the story asks for subdued anger and ruthlessness from the actor and The Rock could be a great fit.

But video game fans may not like this at all. Not only is Johnson known for his comedic action roles, but he is also not popular for being serious about acting roles, rather focusing on box office numbers instead. Let’s see what the fans think about this rumor.

Fans pile on The Rock playing his WWE character in movies

Johnson isn’t a stranger to hate from critics or fans. In an interview, just a few days ago, Johnson addressed the critique that he only plays one-note characters in his movies. So, we know that this hate doesn’t affect The Rock at all, but that doesn’t mean that fans will stop anytime soon from expressing their opinions.

The Rock is creeping up in every big franchise, DCEU, and Fast series, so fans are not a fan of this as well.

Some fans would even prefer Jason Momoa to play Kratos rather than see Johnson in that role.

This fan blames Johnson for playing his real-life persona in movies.

This fan has a problem with Johnson’s voice, which won’t fit Kratos at all.

Another fan points out Johnson’s repeated use of his WWE character in movies.

While this fan raised a great discussion for people who hate Johnson for his acting, they also agreed that Johnson isn’t the right pick.

People feel that The Rock character has overstayed its welcome.
