A Call Of Duty Movie Would Be The Natural Next Step For Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson

The internet is lighting up thanks to a report that Dwayne «The Rock» Johnson will star in a movie adaptation of the Call of Duty video game series. There has been absolutely no confirmation of said report and chances are it's not true. That said, the possibility of it becoming a reality does have us wondering how good a fit the former WWE Champion (and the world's biggest movie star, literally and figuratively) would be for the project.

Whether you realize it or not, Johnson's entire career has been leading to this moment. There is, perhaps, nobody better suited to star in a Call of Duty movie. And don't worry, we've got the receipts to prove it.

First, let's start with the fact that there is no bonafide action hero bigger than The Rock. He survived Jumanji twice, was in a bunch of Fast and Furious movies, he's a DC Comics antihero in the upcoming Black Adam, and, most importantly, he was in Jungle Cruise, which was a big and ridiculous movie based on an equally big and ridiculous theme park ride.

Beyond just his action genre street cred, though, Johnson's already starred in movies that, when combined, more or less turn into Call of Duty. I'm referring, of course, to the cinematic gems known as Doom and GI Joe: Retaliation. Video game adaptation? Check. Utterly ludicrous military-esque film? Check. Throw those two in a blender and you have a recipe for a type of greatness that will no doubt be so bad that it'll be considered art. What's more, with some of the over-the-top guns that come with a property like GI Joe (not to mention Doom's BFG), Johnson is clearly ready to take on all the potential weapons Call of Duty can throw at him.

Lastly, and perhaps most importantly, there's trash talk. While talking trash may not
