Well she was just in a movie so clearly promotional.

48

u/Lovat69 Jul 17 '26

Two, she's in two movies.

64

u/aw-un Jul 17 '26

She’s in 5 this year

74

u/Oneilcruzsucksass Jul 17 '26

She's in all the movies this year

u/Thanautopsy Jul 17 '26

You're thinking of Zendaya.

u/Tupperbaby Jul 17 '26

Yes, but what is Zendaya wearing today? It's important that we know. At least the Internet thinks so.

u/mnztr1 Jul 18 '26

Zendya would be a "no contest" for me, if she was selected.

u/CytoPotatoes Jul 18 '26

You're thinking of Jude Law.

u/TB1289 Jul 17 '26

She's Pedro Pascal?

u/Mobile-Bar7732 Jul 17 '26

No, the Rock.

24

u/TB1289 Jul 17 '26

After Moana he might not be in anything for awhile

34

u/BardWRLD Jul 17 '26

If starring in a bad movie was grounds for Dwayne Johnson to stop getting roles then he would have be kicked out of Hollywood two decades ago.

u/TB1289 Jul 17 '26

Losing $100 million at the box office for the second time might do it.

u/FruitlessEndevour Jul 17 '26

yeah, but you can't blame the rock for that. They pushed a live action remake of a movie that's not even that old. Moana 2 just came out, and they expect people to want to go see a live action of the original? trying to reuse IPs so soon bit them in the ass

u/BardWRLD Jul 17 '26

You have full control over what roles you are willing to take as an actor. It’s not like he’s a starving up-and-comer that needs to land gigs. He had no obligation to star in a film which you describe as an obvious mistake by the studio. Dwayne Johnson doesn’t care about the quality of the work he is in, so I don’t see what’s wrong with blaming him for starring in shitty movie after shitty movie, lol.

Dude could retire and live lavishly for the rest of his life while passing on generational wealth to his family. He just loves his own face and the sound of his own voice so much he can’t stay out of the spotlight.

u/bluearavis Jul 17 '26

And people love the original. And there's also a musical...they have oversaturated the market with Moana

2

u/sometimeserin Jul 17 '26

Except the "They" in question was The Rock. He co-produced the film and was pushing to do it early so that he could still play Maui.

1

u/dianafofana- Jul 17 '26

I honestly didn't want to see it solely because of him being too old and his horrible wig. I have AMC A-list so it's "free" and I still don't want to see it (and I see all the live action remakes).

1

u/gao7on Jul 17 '26

He did voice the original Maui. Dude is the embodiment of Maui god of the franchise.

u/TB1289 Jul 17 '26

No but his payday probably put them $20 million in the hole before they even started filming.

u/Description_Friendly Jul 17 '26

You think this is the first time that's happened? No, no, my friend. There are at least five movies he starred in that lost at the box office, so sorry, but you're wrong. Red One lost $100M, The Numbers lost $70M+, The Smashing Machine grossed $21M on a $50M budget, Black Adam (2022) lost $50M-100M, Jungle Cruise lost $150M+, and, Faster cost $24M to make and pretty much broke even (or lost money, depending on who you ask.) His career will be fine, I assure you.

u/BeautifulLeather6671 Jul 17 '26

Well now that they’re not making money anymore that might change

1

u/Lagunamountaindude Jul 17 '26

He’ll just ditch the curly wig and move on.

u/ltsouthernbelle Jul 17 '26

Bad movies don’t hold that man back, he’ll do twice as many movies next year.

1

u/RvstiNiall Jul 17 '26

I'm not the only one thats gonna see Moana just to see if I can find Kevin Hart's cameo am I?

2

u/DeanMalHanNJackIsms Jul 17 '26

I think he plays the chicken.

1

u/RvstiNiall Jul 17 '26

I see what you did there. lol

1

u/SillyPuttyGizmo Jul 17 '26

Could be, same depth of talent level

1

u/Jack_In_Black89 Jul 17 '26

Kevin Hart, actually

u/MeasurementNo2493 Jul 17 '26

Have you seen both in the same place? Draw a mustache on her, ask yourself the Hard Questions! lol

1

u/fulknerraIII Jul 17 '26

What do you mean this year? She's in every movie, right? You telling me they have made movies before with no Anne?!

0

u/jraymcmurray Jul 17 '26

Not the ones I'm watching 😔

11

u/felix_seanathon Jul 17 '26

Wtf she's been busy

3

u/troveofcatastrophe Jul 17 '26

And she’s heavily surprise pregnant, so yes.

u/mosquem Jul 17 '26

Damn you’d think it’s her job or something

-2

u/CheesyDanny Jul 17 '26 edited Jul 17 '26

Yep, Anne is kinda tied with Zendaya for most major female roles this year, 5 each. That is counting Zendaya’s final season of Euphoria as equivalent to a movie. If the goal was to pick a busy actress, I would have preferred Zendaya just because she is younger.

u/Oregongirl1018 Jul 17 '26

Zendaya's prettier as well. She can literally pull off any hairstyle, outfit, color...etc. She's gorgeous.

My wife

I read this in Borat's voice.

u/chrono_crumpet Jul 17 '26

Is there any other way to say it?

1

u/njslugger78 Jul 17 '26

You made me hear it in hear borats voice. 😆😂🤣😆🤣

u/Tupperbaby Jul 17 '26

If only you were connected to some kind of vast information network where you could verify stuff like this before posting...

u/Lovat69 Jul 17 '26

I dunno, that seem like work. Plus Odyssey and The end of oak street are releasing so close together as to be practically out at the same time which is what I was thinking of.
