Roadblock – a heavy machine gunner – is the latest in a long line of characters that has made Johnson a bona fide action superstar, (He’s got “Snitch,” “Pain and Gain” and “Fast and Furious 6″ in the pipeline.), but being Hollywood’s go-to action guy was never his endgame.
The former professional wrestler wants a role that would earn him an Academy Award.
“That role is gonna come,” he said at the recent Cinemacon in Las Vegas. “I don’t know when, but it’s gonna come. [My production company] can develop it, and we’re developing smaller roles like that right now. But it feels like when you start developing it with that in mind, a lot of times it doesn’t work out like that, so I have faith that it’s gonna come somehow, someway. I’m gonna lock into that role and it’s gonna be unexpected.”
Below, Johnson says being an action star and a box office shoe-in for family comedies is great – but he craved versatility when he left the wrestling hustle in 2000 for Hollywood.
“G.I Joe: Retaliation” was supposed to be released on June 29, but Paramount announced this week that it’s being pushed back to March 29, 2013, to add 3D. Watch the trailers below.
He is delusional! Silly ool.
