There’s not much Dwayne Johnson can’t do for Disney.
He sang “You’re Welcome” in Moana (2016), he brought the puns to Jungle Cruise (2021), he’ll be reprising his role as Maui in a live-action remake of the animated movie, and he was even in the Disney television shows That’s So Raven and Hannah Montana (no, really).
Disney has revealed another project for “The Rock,” and this time it involves the Walt Disney World and Disneyland theme parks.

Dwayne Johnson’s Disney Projects
Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson’s work on the animated film Moana turned him into a Disney demigod, with the Jumanji (2017) and The Fast and the Furious actor coming a long way since his World Wrestling Federation (WWF) era.
For Disney, he has portrayed Joe Kingman in the 2007 sports comedy film The Game Plan and Jack Bruno in the 2009 sci-fi thriller film remake Race to Witch Mountain. He played Frank Wolff alongside Emily Blunt in the Disney movie Jungle Cruise, and though he hasn’t joined the Marvel Cinematic Universe yet, Johnson did join D.C. Films to make and star in Black Adam (2022).
Now, Johnson is working on a Disney theme park project set to be released in November, one that has been highly anticipated since its first season dropped on Disney+.
