Going back to his WWE days, Dwayne Johnson was popular for getting the better of his colleagues when he was on the mic. This has continued during his Hollywood run, where he often shushes his co-stars with his witty responses, leaving them overwhelmed. This was again evident when ‘The Great One’ left a popular Hollywood actor regretting his choice.

Johnson enjoys good chemistry with most of his co-stars, but his bromance with actor-comedian Kevin Hart is on another level.
The two often try to one-up the other with hilarious digs. In one of their usual tussles, The Rock’s smart choice let him get the better of Hart.
Dwayne Johnson makes Kevin Hart regret his decision
Dwayne Johnson shares an incredible camaraderie with Kevin Hart. The duo engages in banter that fans love. This results in some hilarious moments when the two get together for media appearances.
The two were at it again when they were talking about their movie ‘Jumanji: The Next Level’. The actors were talking about who would be their pick if they could gender-swap into another actor.
Kevin Hart said he would go with Hollywood actress Regina Hall, because they are both fun. The Rock said he would pick his friend, popular British actress, Emily Blunt. He said the reason for this choice was Blunt’s British accent. This quickly prompted Hart to say, “She’s more of my friend than yours. I should have technically chosen Emily.” Johnson replied, “Yeah, but technically, you didn’t.”
The Rock brushed aside Hart’s argument and stuck to his choice. This left Hart with a regrettable expression on his face, hilariously suggesting Johnson got the better of him. Indeed, this was yet another hilarious exchange between the two stars.

Early projections for The Rock starer Black Adam indicate the movie could end up making $70-$75 million on the opening weekend. This will beat Johnson’s previous high of $60 million that he achieved with ‘Hobbs and Shaw’.
Johnson’s media presence and global reach could play a key role in taking this number even beyond these early estimates. For DC and Warner Bros, this could be a significant boost. The former WWE Champion’s movies usually generate buzz at the box office and among the vast majority of his fans as well.
His success with franchise movies would be great for DC, which has had a mixed bag when it comes to superhero movies. With this being Dwayne Johnson’s first appearance as a live-action superhero, a lot is expected from both the studio and the actor himself.
