Dwayne Johnson Wants In On Star Wars, Talks Possible Fast And Furious Spin-Off

By the end of May, Dwayne Johnson will have starred in four different movies released in 2013. The wrestler-turned-actor has kept incredibly busy over the last couple years, making Snitch, G.I. Joe: Retaliation, Pain & Gain and Fast & Furious 6, and his star is only getting brighter. Packed with charisma and backed by the love of movie-going audiences, Johnson has incredible potential for his career as an actor. And he has big plans for the future.

With the G.I. Joe sequel due out in theaters next weekend, the star sat down with journalists, including myself, for a press day held in Los Angeles, and in addition to discussing his latest film, also talked about what he has in store for us in the coming years, the movies he wants to be a part of, and the projects that just ended up falling apart. Read the full interview below to learn about Johnson’s desire to be a part of J.J. Abrams’ Star Wars, what we can expect from Brett Ratner’s Hercules, the potential future of Fast & Furious 6’s Luke Hobbs, and what happened to both Lobo and Shazam.
