He’s the biggest box office attraction in Hollywood who is waiting to finish up his professional wrestling career on a high note by competing in a match against his cousin Roman Reigns. Being a cross-brand superstar, his brand value is almost limitless.
A number of projects are already in the pipeline for him including the All-Mighty Superhero role of the Black Adam from the DC Universe. The Rock is also a businessman who just wants to explore more and more in the movie world.

Now, The Rock spoke to Esquire and revealed that he wants to be the next 007 spy from England now that Craig has retired from the iconic role.

The Rock delivered the biggest movie for Netflix
The Rock has just delivered yet another blockbuster movie in Red Notice where he acted alongside Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot in an action-comedy venture. The film was released on November 12 and received the biggest ever opening day for a film on Netflix. Thereby, the film lived up to the most costly project to be ever made for the OTT platform.
Red Notice did shatter records but it didn’t fare as well when it came to its critical reception. But then it has served to the huge fanbase of The Rock all around the world who’d been waiting to see the megastar in the role of James Bond. Previously, Daniel Craig joked about Hugh Jackman possibly getting the role but no confirmation around it has been made, to date.
