Fighting With My Family
When? Early 2018
What? The Rock plays a former wrestler (STRETCH!), and he and has family perform in small wrestling venues around the country. However, his kids want for a bigger life, and long to be a part of the WWE. Vince Vaughn, Nick Frost and Game Of Thrones' Lena Heady fill out the cast, while the movie is written and directed by Ricky Gervais' besto Stephen Merchant.
Rampage
When? 20 April 2018
What? Based on a classic 80's video-game, where giant apes and monsters destroy the city, and... that's kind of it, actually. We're still waiting on that One Great Video-Game Adaptation, but we're sure if it is going to happen, The Rock is the one who can make it happen, even though we currently know SFA about how this could work as a movie.

Skyscraper
When? 13 July 2018
What? We'll just let The Rock fill you in...
Shazam! When? 5 April 2019 What? One of the future DC comic-book movies, which tells the story a young boy named Billy Batson who can become an adult superhero whenever he utters the magical word Shazam. The Rock looks to be going very much against type, playing the movie's super-villain Black Adam. In fact, the character is one of the few who can match Superman in terms of powers, and there's already word that Warner Bros. and DC will be giving him his own spin-off, standalone Black Adam movie not long afterwards.
Big Trouble In Little China
When? TBC
What? Still just a rumour at this point, but the rather insane but still totally brilliant story of a truck driver getting drawn into a magical, mystical war has been mooted for a while now, with The Rock set to play Jack Burton, a role once occupied by Kurt Russell. So far just writers have been assigned to the project, but they're the same folks who wrote X-Men: First Class, so we've got hope.

Journey 3: From The Earth To The Moon
When? TBC
What? While he wasn't even in the first one (it starred Brendan Fraser, remember him?), he did rock up for the sequel, which went on to make $335 million on a $79 million budget, so Part 3 was always inbound. The Rock has always made time to make more family friendly stuff, from Journey 2 to The Tooth Fairy to Race To Witch Mountain to Moana.

Doc Savage
When? TBC
What? Doc Savage was seen as "the original super-hero", raised by a team of scientists to travel around the world in the 1930's, defeating bad guys along the way. This update is being written and directed by Shane Black (Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, The Nice Guys, Iron Man 3), and he's already said he can only picture The Rock in the title role. So here we are.
San Andreas 2
When? TBC
What? The first one was a surprise hit - $474 worldwide box office on a $110 million budget - in which The Rock was a helicopter pilot who had to save his family from a giant earthquake. The sequel, we imagine, will be along the same lines? As in... how do you progress a series about giant earthquakes? The only option is MORE earthquakes, right? Regardless, we'll still go see it.
