John Cena hits the road with his car bro guests and their fave vehicles in the trailer for the wrestler-turned-actor’s talk show for Roku Originals, What Drives You.

“This is like an assault vehicle style G-wagon,” Cena tells rock band Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker about his customized Mercedes Benz G-Wagon 4X42 at one point in the short teaser, before a drive in the massive off-roader.

Cena also goes under the hood with country singer Jelly Roll in Nashville, and while a passenger in Jelly’s Ram 1500 Laramie learns about his journey from being a convict to fatherhood and stardom. “As soon as me and my wife moved to a good, safe school district for our daughter, I made it,” the heavily tattooed music star reveals in the trailer.

Cena, as he gets set to leave his WWE pro wrestling days behind him, has played starring roles in the films Blockers and The Suicide Squad.

As far as modern action heroes go, one of the most enduring has certainly been Jason Statham, who’s headlined a slew of modestly budgeted action flicks that have made him one of the few genre staples left in the game. His career has been interesting, with him alternating smaller-scaled action flicks with bigger, tentpole event films, such as the Fast & Furious films and The Meg 1 & 2. Yet, the movie that established his persona wasn’t the Transporter films or any of his Guy Ritchie movies. Nope, instead, it was a small-scale but ambitious quasi-remake of the film noir classic D.O.A that put him on the map in a big way. That’s right, folks, it’s time to figure out Wtf Happened to Crank!

Jump back to 1997, when a young English director named Guy Ritchie released a little film called Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels, which caused a sensation.

Djimon Hounsou has once again discussed his discriminatory pay in Hollywood. Despite starring in major studio productions like the MCU, DC, and Fast & Furious, Hounsou shared that he was struggling to make a living financially. Hounsou concluded that systemic racism still exists in the film industry.

He had earlier shared that some of the studio execs’ vision of him was very limited when he went to meetings with these studios. He shared that he had to prove to them why he needed to be paid for a particular role. Hounsou was recently seen in Zack Snyder’s two-part Rebel Moon films.

While the streaming bubble hasn't burst quite yet, there are now so many of the services that subscribing to them all is near-impossible for normal people.

As a result, the likes of Netflix, Amazon, and Disney+, not to mention smaller efforts like Paramount+ and Peacock, need to deliver the sort of content that potential subscribers are desperate to see. That's led to many big screen franchises being translated to the small screen. 

Today, we may be able to add three more to the list. 

According to scooper @MyTimeToShineH, Netflix is developing Assassin's Creed as both an anime and live-action TV series. However, each of those will tell brand new stories and won't adapt the games. That likely means new characters, new settings, and less of the franchise's confusing lore. 

The prolific leaker has also revealed that Universal has Jurassic Park/World and Fast & Furious TV shows in development for Peacock.

Spoiler Alert: This article contains mild spoilers about “Den of Thieves 2: Pantera,” now playing in theaters.

O’Shea Jackson Jr. is a man of many interests, but he’s betting big on “Den of Thieves 2: Pantera,” now in theaters via Lionsgate.

The 2018 original, in which a group of bank robbers (including Jackson Jr.’s Donnie) clash against the cops (led by Gerard Butler’s Big Nick) was a sleeper hit. For the sequel, Big Nick breaks bad for a globetrotting heist alongside Donnie and a new crew. Plenty of gunfights and stunts follow, with Butler and Jackson Jr.’s bromance holding things together.

Ultimately, Jackson Jr. sees these movies as the building blocks of a franchise that could stand tall alongside juggernauts like the “Fast & Furious” saga. The actor spoke to Variety about the joy and anxiety of doing big stunts, what a “Thieves” series could look like...

Hey there, Fast & Furious fans! Remember when the biggest drama in the franchise wasn’t about car chases or saving the world, but rather about two of its biggest stars not getting along? That’s right, we’re diving into the infamous feud between Vin Diesel and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson that had us all grabbing our popcorn for nearly a decade.

From heated Instagram posts to public call-outs and everything in between, this behind-the-scenes drama was more explosive than any of the franchise’s action sequences. What started as whispers on set eventually erupted into a full-blown Hollywood showdown that would span years, test loyalties, and ultimately lead to one of the industry’s most talked-about reconciliations.

Universal Pictures surprised us back in January when they announced that not only was a new entry in the Jurassic Park and Jurassic World franchise in the works, but the screenplay was already finished and the project was aiming for a 2025 theatrical release. July 2, 2025, to be exact. This new movie is called Jurassic World Rebirth, and it was assembled in a mad scramble so it can stay on track to reach theatres next July. Details have been kept under wraps so far, but Universal just revealed some plot and character information the other day, so now it’s time for us to put together a list of Everything We Know About Jurassic World Rebirth:

Ladies and gentlemen: He was just kidding.

Vin Diesel has cleared the air after his strange aside while presenting a Golden Globe award on Sunday night. The Fast & Furious franchise star caused a stir when, while onstage to present the award for cinematic and box office achievement, he paused to peer at Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who was seated toward the front of the International Ballroom at The Beverly Hilton.

“Hi Dwayne,” Diesel said cryptically while staring down his ex-co-star in the Fast & Furious franchise. Johnson stared back, grinning a bit awkwardly in the surprise moment. Soon after, the internet erupted with speculation that a years-old beef between the two action stars had reignited.

After days of speculation, Diesel shut down the rumors by posting an old image of himself with Johnson from the 2015 Rio de Janeiro premiere of Fast 5; that sequel was the former wrestler’s entry...

During a fairly unremarkable Golden Globes ceremony, presenter and instigator Vin Diesel took to the podium to present the fakest award of the evening, Cinematic and Box Office Achievement. But before he could utter a single Beetlejuice, Diesel looked at his former Fast & Furious co-star and reopened old wounds.

For a time, it looked like Gal Gadot might make the leap from the Dceu to Dcu to continue playing Diana Prince. It never really made sense for James Gunn to only recast two-thirds of the Trinity, though, so Wonder Woman 3 being scrapped wasn't a huge shock. 

Creature Commandos has introduced the idea of Themyscira and even shown us an Amazon in action thanks to the debut of Anya Chalotra's Circe. While Gunn has remained relatively quiet on Wonder Woman plans, we know the Paradise Lost TV show is still in the works.

In this feature, we're taking a look at 8 actors we believe would be an ideal fit for the Dcu's Wonder Woman. They're all very different - just remember that CGI may be used to enhance Diana's stature - but each would bring something exciting to the table.

The Golden Globes would showcase some juicy controversy in the past when comedian Ricky Gervais held nothing back as the host of the Hollywood event and roasted the stars to a non-merciful degree. Gervais had turned down the chance to return and this past event was hosted by fellow comedian Nikki Glaser. However, Gervais still jumped at the chance to get some jabs out there as he posted a hypothetical opening monologue on social media, “Hello, and welcome to the 82nd Golden Globe awards. What a year it’s been. Hundreds of entertainers jumped at the chance to go to The Vatican to meet The Pope. Many from Hollywood. Obviously they weren’t content with only being part of the 2nd biggest pedo ring in the world…“

There was a moment between Vin Diesel and Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson at the 2025 Golden Globe Awards that made people interested in their tangled relationship again. Everything went wrong when Diesel gave the award for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement at the Beverly Hilton.

Diesel stopped to look at Johnson, who was sitting in the crowd, before announcing the nominees. He greeted him with a smile, a wave, and a firm “Hey, Dwayne.” At that moment, the camera quickly moved to Johnson, who gave an odd smile in response. This short interaction caused tension that could be felt throughout the ceremony.

The exchange caused a lot of talk on social media. “Soooooo Loaded!!!!” yelled one user on X (formerly Twitter). According to another, this moment offered “the kind of drama the #GoldenGlobes needed. ”

The troubled pasts of the players make this meeting even more important. Since they worked together on...

When Vin Diesel took the stage at The Beverly Hilton during the 2025 Golden Globes to present the best cinematic and box office achievement award (which went to Wicked), he shared a brief, awkward and intentional moment with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, his former Fast & Furious franchise co-star.

Diesel, who has been the male protagonist of the Fast & Furious franchise for over 20 years, hadn’t even gotten to the nominees before he locked eyes with Johnson, who was seated at a table near the stage. He then simply said, “Hey, Dwayne,” with a wave and smile. At that point, the camera cut to Johnson, who awkwardly grinned back at Diesel. To understand why that marked the most tense moment of the awards ceremony, one must understand the lore of Fast & Furious and the simmering tension between the two action stars born out of their once-and-again shared franchise.

Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson came face to face at the 2025 Golden Globes when Diesel took the stage to present the prize for cinematic and box office achievement to “Wicked.” Diesel took a pause at the start of his speech to shout out: “Hey, Dwayne.” The camera cut to Johnson awkwardly smiling in the crowd as the audience in the room laughed given the two actors’ rocky history.

Johnson and Diesel notoriously feuded during their time making “Fast and Furious” movies, but their beef came to an official end in 2023 after Johnson shocked fans by popping up as Luke Hobbs in a “Fast X” mid-credits scene. Diesel had extended an invitation to Johnson in November 2021 to join “Fast X,” but Johnson said at the time that “I would not be returning to the franchise.” That turned out to be a bluff, and Johnson and Diesel will once again star in...

Delivering another huge boost for musicals, Universal’s Wicked took home the award for best cinematic and box office achievement at the 2025 Golden Globes after wowing audiences across the globe over the year-end holidays. It’s only the second time the honor has been handed out in an effort to make sure more populist movies are recognized.

Wicked, from director Jon M. Chu and veteran Hollywood producer Marc Platt, has smashed numerous records since debuting over Thanksgiving and is a major win for top Universal and NBCUniversal exec Donna Langley. Through Sunday, it has earned $644 million globally, making it the top-grossing Broadway musical adaptation of all time after passing up Mamma Mia!. It had previously achieved the same milestone domestically, where it has earned $432 million to date.

In appropriate fashion, Vin Diesel of Fast & Furious fame was tasked with announcing the winner at Sunday night’s telecast. He noted...

As Vin Diesel took the stage to present the Golden Globe for Cinematic Box Office at the 2025 ceremony, he nodded to his former Fast & Furious costar Dwayne Johnson, who was sitting front and center in the audience the whole night.

“Hey Dwayne,” was all Diesel said, but the Moana 2 star acknowledged the greeting with a slight nod in his lilac suit.

The pair previously worked together on The Fast & the Furious franchise, and since 2016, reports of behind-the-scenes drama and a feud between the two actors have circulated even beyond the production and release of The Fate of the Furious (2017), which marked a big confrontation between their two characters.

Johnson joined the franchise in 2011 in the fifth film, Fast Five (2011) as Luke Hobbs, and his character later got a spinoff called Hobbs & Shaw (2019).

Vin Diesel brought the family drama to the Golden Globes on Sunday night.

It was a brief moment between the two blockbuster stars, but one layered with years of drama and intrigue. Johnson joined the Fast and Furious franchise for Fast Five in 2011 and appeared in several films as Luke Hobbs — an antagonist-turned-frenemy of Diesel’s Dominic Toretto. But Diesel and Johnson memorably clashed on the set of 2017’s The Fate of the Furious. While their characters shared scenes onscreen, Johnson previously confirmed that neither he nor Diesel were...

Are Vin Diesel and Dwayne Johnson finally moving on past their feud?

On Sunday night (January 5), Vin, 57, and Dwayne, 52, both appeared at the 2025 Golden Globe Awards held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif.

While he appeared on stage to present the award for Cinematic and Box Office Achievement, Vin took a moment to send a message to Dwayne.

Balance isn't just something that martial arts virtuoso Mr. Miyagi likes to harp about to his students in the "Karate Kid" franchise; it's also crucial to what makes the property tick. Director John G. Avildsen and writer Robert Mark Kamen's original 1984 "Karate Kid" film established the template for the movies and shows that followed, mixing the gritty realism of Avildsen's other sports classic, "Rocky," with lively martial arts fights and borderline cartoonish antagonists. At their best, these tales of troubled, scrappy teenage underdogs studying karate under the tutelage of Miyagai and his disciples are rousing coming-of-age sagas capable of presenting heavy subject matter in a crowd-pleasing package. At their worst, they still offer invaluable life lessons, even when they veer into the realm of self-parody.

On the whole, "Karate Kid" enthusiasts tend to agree about the franchise's high and low points. The original "Karate Kid" is still generally regarded...

Hollywood might be physically located in the land of the free, aka United States but it boasts talent from all over the world. More often than not a breakout star emerges, hailing from another part of the world, capturing the hearts of audiences. And that is precisely what Gald Gadot did when she first ventured into the realm of glitz and glamour.

There is no "Fast and Furious" franchise without Michelle Rodriguez ... and yet, the first entry in the property almost happened without her. The action star was still pretty new to acting when she was cast as Letty Ortiz in 2001's "The Fast and the Furious," having just made her screen debut in 2000 by starring in the indie sports drama hit "Girlfight." That mean "Fast and the Furious" was Rodriguez's first foray into Hollywood proper, and she nearly walked away from the project due to some problems with the original script.

The issue? A storyline that saw Letty romantically torn between Vin Diesel's Dom Toretto and Paul Walker's Brian O'Conner. "It was more of a 'Point Break' idea," Rodriguez told The Daily Beast in 2015. "They just followed the format without thinking about the reality of it. Is it realistic for a Latin girl who's with the alpha-est of...

Dwayne Johnson’s feud with Vin Diesel was one of the high-profile beefs that came out of Hollywood. Given that both actors were in the Fast & Furious franchise, the feud took center stage with the franchise arguably being in its golden age. However, as Johnson expands towards more dramatic roles with The Smashing Machine, it seems that The Rock has one upcoming fight that might leave the Diesel-Johnson beef in the dust.

The Rock does his own stunts whenever possible. But back on the set of his first movie, The Scorpion King, things took an unexpected turn. In one high-octane scene where he was supposed to deliver a punch, The Rock—known for his wrestling chops—ended up hitting his stuntman for real. Not the kind of punch you feign in WWE but an honest-to-goodness full-force hit. Ouch.

Naturally, Johnson felt terrible about it. He wasn’t just a massive action star; he was also The Rock, the guy who would never let a fellow colleague down. So, instead of just a simple apology, he went all out. He bought the stuntman a Rolex watch. Yes, you heard that right—a Rolex.

Fast forward to 2017, Diesel made a significant return in xXx: Return of Xander Cage, and the film earned a solid $346 million. Naturally, fans were buzzing about xXx 4, but now there’s a bit of a disappointing update from one of the franchise stars.

April 30, 2019. A day that will live in hedgehog infamy. One that was anticipated by millions of gamers with visions of Dreamcast controllers and Chaos Emeralds in their heads but was instead marked by small humanoid eyes, distractingly flat teeth, and two words that would become a meme:

“Uh…meow?”

The initial trailer for Paramount’s “Sonic the Hedgehog” became one of the most widely disliked videos ever put forth by a Hollywood studio at a speed that would rival even that of the Fastest Thing Alive. YouTube videos, tweets and gaming media rants spread across the web in a matter of hours, denouncing the film as the latest example of why, in a pre-“Detective Pikachu” world, gamers did not trust Hollywood to do right by the characters and worlds that they love.

Charlize Theron didn’t just play Aileen Wuornos in Monster—she became her, shaving her eyebrows and gaining 30 pounds to embody the serial killer so thoroughly that it shocked Hollywood norms. “You’re probably going to say no,” she once admitted about taking on such an extreme transformation. But Theron wasn’t here to play nice with the Hollywood machine. She didn’t want to be typecast as just another blonde bombshell. She tried to break the mold—and she did, Oscar in hand.

If you think Fast & Furious is all about epic stunts, wild chases, and superhero-level action, think again. In Fast & Furious 6, there’s an unexpected mystery – and it’s sitting right on Dwayne Johnson’s chin. Yep, we’re talking about an editing blunder that had Hobbs’ iconic facial hair flipping like a reality show makeover gone wrong.

For most of Fast & Furious 6, Hobbs rocks a rugged, tough-guy goatee. But in one scene, the whiskers just… disappear like magic. One shot shows the goatee, the next – poof – it’s gone. And then, in the next frame, it’s back. Was it an editing mishap? A weird styling choice? Or just Hollywood doing its usual behind-the-scenes trickery?

Dwayne Johnson Refuses Hollywood’s Demands (Photo Credit – Instagram)

In his early Hollywood days, Dwayne Johnson—yes, The Rock—faced an uphill battle. He wasn’t just asked to learn lines and hit his marks; Hollywood wanted him to rewrite himself. Lose weight, stop working out, drop “The Rock,” and never mention wrestling again. The message was clear: fit the mold, or you’re out.

But Johnson didn’t play ball. “I wasn’t gonna conform to Hollywood. Hollywood was gonna conform to me,” he later revealed. That defiance became a game-changer.

Hollywood’s cookie-cutter expectations hit Johnson hard. Studios wanted him to shed the larger-than-life persona he’d built in wrestling and blend into the industry’s leading-man blueprint. To them, “The Rock” was just baggage.

America’s fastest ‘Family’ is all set to amp up the action to eleven with the upcoming Fast X sequel. The eleventh and as of now final installment of the Fast & Furious franchise will reportedly begin filming in 2025 after several delays and is scheduled to release in 2026, twenty-five years after the first film came out.

Fast X has already teased the return of Dwayne Johnson as Luke Hobbs after Johnson and series star Vin Diesel had a falling out on the sets of Fate of the Furious. The stars have reportedly put the past behind them and Johnson may just return for a full-fledged part in the finale. So, does that mean John Cena’s Jakob Toretto will clash with Hobbs?

The Fast & Furious franchise has had several stars over the years.

For the first 10 years of his movie acting career, Dwayne Johnson was hungry to earn his bonafides as a serious performer. Oh sure, he was more than willing to play to the cheap seats by starring in stuff like "The Scorpion King" and "Doom." But this was also the era in which the wrestling legend worked with "Donnie Darko" director Richard Kelly on his gonzo cult curiosity "Southland Tales" and gleefully preened in front of a mirror as an out-and-proud gay bodyguard in F. Gary Gray's "Get Shorty" sequel "Be Cool." Having yet to establish a clean-cut brand for himself, the 2000s saw The Rock taking the kind of risks he would shirk for a decade after finally making it big in the movies.

That extended to Johnson's action films as well. When The Rock showed up as Luke Hobbs in 2011's "Fast Five" (only one of the...

It’s not uncommon to see the same actor playing several different roles at the same time, especially on TV shows.

Shawn Hatosy has a role on Rescue: Hi-Surf but is also a recurring face on Chicago Pd. Both roles portray Hatosy as an entitled white male in charge who’s not afraid to bend the rules to get his way.

It’s not the first time Hatosy has taken on roles that depict him negatively. He’s one of those actors who is great at playing a jerky bad guy. However, he also has numerous memorable characteristics as an okay guy.

Hatosy fans from the ’90s might remember him from his early days when he took on awkward teen roles to expand his filmography.

He had several small supporting roles, racking up time with big names like Brittany Murphy (Double Jeopardy) and James Russo (No Way Home...

Up on Variety about a year ago, there was an interesting interview with the German distributor of the Expendables and John Wick movies. Fred Kogel, who runs Leonine Studios, noted that all the top action heroes now, Keanu Reeves, Sylvester Stallone, Tom Cruise, and Harrison Ford, are the same ones we had in the eighties and nineties. But with Stallone and Ford in their late seventies, who will be the new action stars when the icons are done with the genre? Liam Neeson’s action career can’t go on forever, and Bruce Willis has, sadly, had to retire. For his part, Kogel doesn’t believe distributors and studios have done enough to build up a new crop of action heroes, noting that for the older stars, there was “a great deal of identification with the type of the actor, with the physicality of the actor so that you could relate to that.

Jordana Brewster is remembering Paul Walker.

On Saturday (November 30), the 44-year-old actress took to Instagram to pen a touching tribute to her late Fast & Furious co-star on the 11th anniversary of his tragic passing.

“@meadowwalker is carrying on your legacy through her beauty and strength,” she added.

Luke Evans recently revealed the depth of his body image insecurities, which he has developed throughout his career in the entertainment industry.

“I still sometimes go to the gym and just feel very anxious,” he told the podcast How to Fail with Elizabeth Day. “I look at myself in the mirror and just go, ‘You don’t look good enough,’ or ‘You’re letting it go.’”

Evan has acted in various films that have required him to maintain an especially brawny physique, including roles in the live-action Beauty and the Beast, Robin Hood and the Fast & Furious franchise.

He explained, “The terrible part of my industry is that you’re just reminded constantly of the decades of film you’ve done when you had not a crease on the face and not one gray stubble – whereas all my stubble is now gray.”

“I’ve had to learn to be kinder to myself,...

Being a sequel to a $7.3 billion franchise has its headaches. Just ask Vin Diesel about the next Fast & Furious installment Fast X: Part 2.

The star posted on social media yesterday, teasing at the possibility of a spring 2026 release, the return of Dwayne Johnson, who he’s reportedly square off with on-screen and off, as well as a two-movie finale.

Wrote Diesel, “I got universal in one ear saying we need FastX2 by March 2026! I have Comcast in the other ear saying we need two movies to be the Finale! Then the writer on Fast Five sent me this image and said we need to see Dom and Hobbs resolve their differences. I just want to get back to real street racing, practical stunts… and a reunion of that beautiful brotherhood. Happy Thanksgiving…”

Already Universal set The Flash screenwriter Christina Hodson and Cloverfield screenwriter Oren Uziel to write Fast X: Part 2...

It has been quite a while since Dwayne Johnson and Vin Diesel could get back up on a stage together. Then again, the world of entertainment has never done very well without some controversy and scandal to keep it moving.
