Martin Scorsese's upcoming project is a mafia drama set in 1960s Hawaii, as revealed by Dwayne Johnson in a new social media post.

Despite starting his career as a WWE star, Dwayne Johnson has grown his movie star career to the point where he is starring in Martin Scorsese projects. He started acting in 2001 while he was still in WWE consistently. His first role was as the Scorpion King in The Mummy Returns. A year later, he would star as the character in The Scorpion King.

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson has finally addressed the news that he's joining as the lead of Martin Scorsese's new movie. The as-yet untitled flick will follow a Hawaiian crime boss bidding for control of organized crime in the US state and will also star Emily Blunt and Leonardo DiCaprio.

As reported back in February, Dwayne Johnson is set to star alongside Leonardo DiCaprio and Emily Blunt in an upcoming film project headed by acclaimed director Martin Scorsese. Johnson took to social media Thursday to officially announce his connection to the film,

John Cena's dramatic shift, forming an alliance with The Rock and shattering the trust of his fans, has fans talking. It has created a high-stakes Undisputed WWE Title clash with Cody Rhodes at WrestleMania 41.

Despite The Rock‘s return to WWE, The Final Boss appears to be busier than ever when it comes to his Hollywood schedule. Last month Deadline reported that The Rock was set to star alongside Emily Blunt and Leonardo DiCaprio in an untitled Martin Scorsese film.

Dwayne Johnson confirms that he will appear opposite Leonardo DiCaprio and Emily Blunt in Oscar-winning director Martin Scorsese's next movie.
