Dwayne Johnson<\/strong> recently hinted at his next big move in Hollywood. During a film festival appearance, he discussed upcoming roles that will push him in new directions. He also touched on how he plans to balance transformative performances with blockbuster commitments, such as the upcoming Jumaji 3<\/strong>.<\/p>\n Dwayne Johnson confirmed that he will begin filming Jumanji 3 in November. Johnson said, \u201cThe films that I made in the past, I love them. I\u2019ll go back to making them again.\u201d (via Variety<\/a>)<\/p>\n The project will reunite Johnson with Kevin Hart, continuing their successful partnership from the previous Jumanji films. The franchise began with Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle in 2017 and followed with Jumanji: The Next Level in 2019, both of which were global box office successes. Johnson\u2019s announcement confirms the series will continue with its third installment.<\/p>\n At the same festival, Johnson also spoke about his preparation for another role in Lizard Music, directed by Benny Safdie. He explained that he is losing weight<\/a> to play a \u201cwhimsical, eccentric 70-something-year-old\u201d character called Chicken Man. Johnson stated, \u201cI still have a long way to go,\u201d noting that the transformation requires a significant lifestyle shift after gaining 30 pounds of muscle for The Smashing Machine.<\/p>\n Johnson talked about Safdie\u2019s pitch for Lizard Music and stated, \u201cAnd after about 45 minutes, this pitch ended and I said, \u2018I am your Chicken Man.\u2019\u201d The film is based on Daniel Pinkwater\u2019s novel about a septuagenarian whose best friend is a chicken. It marks Johnson\u2019s continued exploration of roles beyond his established action-hero image.<\/p>\n While reflecting on his career choices, Johnson acknowledged, \u201cI felt for a few years, I was pigeonholed because I allowed it to happen.\u201d He added that The Smashing Machine and Lizard Music offered opportunities to redefine his acting path.<\/p>\n Despite focusing on transformation, Johnson emphasized that he will continue appearing in large-scale blockbusters. He confirmed Jumanji 3 as his next major studio project.<\/p>\n Originally reported by Anubhav Chaudhry on SuperHeroHype<\/a>.<\/em><\/p>\n The post Dwayne Johnson Reveals When Jumanji 3 Starts Filming & It\u2019s Soon<\/a> appeared first on ComingSoon.net – Movie Trailers, TV & Streaming News, and More<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Dwayne Johnson recently hinted at his next big move in Hollywood.
