Dwayne Johnson’s career is seeing bad days.

With his breakthrough performance in The Scorpion King in 2002, Johnson was able to easily crossover from his successful wrestling career to acting.

Worldwide box office revenue for his flicks totals the billions. Johnson has his own production firm, Seven Bucks Productions, as well as numerous lucrative businesses, such as a line of tequila and fitness items.

He is also a producer and entrepreneur. A prominent Disney property may have fired the actor, according to recent rumours.

Dwayne Johnson played the lead role in the Warner Bros. DC Universe film Black Adam last year. Despite being eagerly anticipated, the movie had a terrible box office performance.

Johnson's eagerly anticipated sequel ended up being shelved as James Gunn became the next DC Universe director.

Another Failure for Dwayne Johnson

Dwayne Johnson is currently dealing with a significant legal problem in addition to his most recent film failure.

He has been named a defendant in a $3 billion case that has advanced through the legal system. In the case, Johnson and many other people are accused of abducting Trenesha Biggers and her children while she was working for TNA and WWE as Rakha Khan.

A fresh report indicates that Dwayne Johnson won't take Johnny Depp's place in the upcoming Pirates of the Caribbean movie, amid all the recent controversy surrounding him.

Although neither Disney nor Johnson has officially acknowledged this information, it has been conjectured that the choice has nothing to do with the actor's ongoing legal battle.

Although there has been no official confirmation, there doesn't seem to be much anticipation for a Johnny Depp and Disney reunion.

They're at a critical standstill, but it's not impossible for them to make up and collaborate on a new Pirates of the Caribbean movie. Regrettably, Depp might have a long wait before he can return to the entertainment industry.
