The last few years have been a roller-coaster for Dwayne Johnson, who recently went to A24 in pursuit of an Oscar for his latest film, The Smashing Machine. This came as a surprise to fans who only mostly knew Johnson for his work in big-budget blockbuster films — he is one of the highest-grossing actors of all time despite only acting in one single DC movie (Black Adam) and no Marvel movies. Johnson did not find Oscar gold with The Smashing Machine, and this year he returns to the world of blockbuster filmmaking with the live-action Moana movie, which has been years in the making. It’s now been 10 years since the first Moana hit theaters, and after its 2024 sequel grossed over $1 billion at the box office, the live-action film could yet be one of the biggest hits of the year.
