The Rock Transforms for Upcoming A24 Drama 'The Smashing Machine'
Dwayne Johnson Takes on Role of MMA Legend Mark Kerr
Unrecognizable in First-Look Image
Dwayne Johnson is set to star in the upcoming A24 biographical sports drama 'The Smashing Machine,' which tells the story of mixed-martial arts legend Mark Kerr. Johnson is nearly unrecognizable in the first-look image released by A24, showcasing his transformation for the role.
Johnson's casting as Kerr has garnered significant attention, as the two share a passion for wrestling and physical fitness. Kerr, who competed in the UFC and Pride FC during the early days of MMA, is known for his relentless aggression and submission grappling skills. The film is expected to delve into Kerr's triumphs and struggles both inside and outside the cage.
While an official release date has not been announced, 'The Smashing Machine' is expected to be a significant departure from Johnson's recent action-packed blockbusters. The film marks Johnson's first collaboration with A24, which has gained critical acclaim for its arthouse and independent films.
