Per Deadline, the actor will star in and produce Smashing Machine – a film about two-time UFC champ Mark Kerr. Johnson announced this on Friday at Madison Square Garden during the UFC 244 card main event – Jorge Masvidal vs. Nate Diaz.

At the announcement, the Fast and Furious star said “Mark Kerr’s story is such an incredible story. Like all of us, and like a lot of these fighters, he battled these demons — these demons of addiction, these demons of mental health, these demons of getting out and the pressure of fighting in front of 50,000 people and what that does to somebody.”

The film is in the early stages of development and there is still no studio attached to it, but we do know that Johnson and Dany Garcia and Hiram Garcia of Seven Bucks Production will produce it.

If you can’t wait to catch Johnson in this biopic his next big-screen role is in Jumanji: The Next Level, which will be released on December 13th.

This exciting project tells the story of King Kamehameha, the founder and first ruler of the Kingdom of Hawaii. He’s the one responsible of uniting the Hawaiian islands for the first time and making sure they remained a united realm.

This film will be Hollywood’s first attempt to bring his story to life. It was described as a sweeping historical epic based on the true story of Kamehameha, who fulfilled the prophecy that surrounded his fabled life since birth.

In addition to playing the lead, The Rock will also produce The King through Seven Bucks Productions. Johnson and his partners Dany and Hiram Garcia were the ones responsible for getting this project off the ground. They recruited Randall Wallace (Braveheart) to write the script, while The Rock was still in Hawaii filming Jumanji.

It’s not a coincidence that the Fast & Furious star was the one who landed this role. He wanted to portray this Hawaiian ruler since the early days of his acting career. The Rock believed that bringing Kamehameha’s story to life would be a good way to honor his Hawaiian heritage.

Dwayne opened up to ET’s Nancy O’Dell about their future wedding plans.

“We were going to get married in the spring and we got pregnant,” he told ET at a junket for his new action movie Rampage on Thursday. “Lauren felt like, well, you know, Mama [doesn’t want] to take pictures being pregnant in a wedding dress, so we’re just going to wait and not quite sure when, but I know it’s going to happen.”

The 45-year-old actor is not yet definite as to when they’ll be able to exchange their vows.

“I don’t know if it’s shortly [after the baby comes], because right now after this we shoot Jungle Cruise with Emily Blunt and then I go on to shoot the Hobbs movie and we’re just trying to figure out where we can put it in,” he said. “The great thing with Lauren is she’s such a rock star. She’s just like, ‘It’s alright, whenever it’s going to happen we’re going to make it work,’” he continued, adding that this perspective won’t last, joking “I mean, she’s saying that now. A year from now she’s going to be like, ‘Hey!’”

The Jumanji star recently shared that he’s traveling to Shanghai this weekend, two weeks before the baby’s due.

“I have my security ready, we got exactly where we’re going to go. We got the LAPD they’re gonna shut down a couple of highways and we’re going home,” Johnson teased. “Well, I’m only kidding, they’re not gonna do that, but… I do have a plan and I’m ready to go.”

“The pilot is already ready to turn that plane around if things start to happen,” he added.

The celebrity couple is planning on naming their new daughter, Tia. Dwayne has daughters, Simone, 16 from his previous marriage to Dany Garcia, and Jasmine, 2, with Lauren.
