According to a new report from Deadline, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is set to star in “Ball and Chain” with actress Emily Blunt.
The new movie is based on a four-part comic book published in 1999.
Johnson and Blunt are set to play a bickering couple who receive super powers that only work if they can learn to put aside their differences, and work together.
There is no word as to when production will begin due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Emily V. Gordon is writing the script. Kevin Misher is producing the film, along with Johnson’s Seven Bucks Productions company. Several studios are bidding for the distribution. However, it appears that Netflix may be the film’s final destination.
Johnson and Blunt star together in Disney’s “Jungle Cruise”, which has been pushed back to with a release date of July 24, 2021 due to the COVID-19 (coronavirus) pandemic.
