While rumours continue to swirl that Dwayne Johnson could be heading back to WWE, his movie schedule shows no sign of slowing down.
Johnson styles himself as the ‘hardest worker in the room’ and he certainly takes that approach to any project that he’s involved with. Fresh off the success of Black Adam, the star has now shared a behind-the-scenes look at his next project, Red One. The festive film which is set for release in 2023, is being directed by Jake Kasdan who worked with Johnson on Jumanji, and will also star Chris Evans, Kiernan Shipka and Lucy Liu.
Dwayne Johnson To Star In Red One
In a post on Instagram, Johnson commented on his wild month of shooting, before giving glimpse at what fans can expect from the movie.
“An absolutely wild past month of shooting our new Christmas franchise known as RED ONE🎅🏾
Our movie is a big, fun, action packed and fresh new take on Christmas Lore 🛷🎄☃️🎬😈🎅🏾
Think JUMANJI meets MIRACLE ON 34TH ST meets HOBBS & SHAW with a dash of HARRY POTTER and sprinkled on top with my all time favorite Christmas movie, ITS A WONDERFUL LIFE… let all that sink in 🤣❤️🎅🏾 ❄️
Long hours and this talented crew is working their butts off and making a good one.
More to come.
Back to work.RED ONE🎅🏾

Interestingly, it was recently reported that Dwayne Johnson could be back with WWE as early as the Royal Rumble in January 2023. While there is no confirmation that an appearance could be on the cards, it has at least been mentioned backstage. However, with a long-rumoured showdown with Roman Reigns on the horizon, it was noted that there is a min-January deadline for the finalisation of WrestleMania plans involving the WWE legend.
