New Look at Dwayne Johnson in A24’s The Smashing Machine

Here’s a new look at Dwayne Johnson for his role in the upcoming film The Smashing Machine from A24

The Smashing Machine is an upcoming American biographical sports drama film written and directed by Benny Safdie. It stars Dwayne Johnson as former wrestler and mixed martial artist Mark Kerr, alongside Emily Blunt as his wife.

The cast for the film also includes:

Dwayne Johnson as Mark Kerr
Emily Blunt as Dawn Staples
Lyndsey Gavin as Elizabeth Coleman
Oleksandr Usyk as Igor Vovchanchyn
Bas Rutten as himself
Ryan Bader as Mark Coleman
Cyborg Abreu as Fabio Gurgel
Zoe Kosovic as McKenzie Coleman

Production is expected to continue until August 1.

It’s interesting to note that A24 is heavily investing in drama biopics with the last one making a huge splash with the Von Erich’s The Iron Claw. Maybe soon we could look forward to biopics on big topics like the Death of Owen Hart?
