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.

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

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

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.
