Emily Blunt In Talks To Star Opposite Dwayne Johnson In ‘The Smashing Machine

Quote:

Negotiations are underway to bring Academy Award-nominated Emily Blunt to the Dwayne Johnson film vehicle The Smashing Machine.

Blunt would play Dawn Staples, the new wife to MMA champion Mark Kerr. While trying to set up a life together, Dawn struggles to find her place within Mark’s chaotic and contradictory world.

The film is a drama based on the story of Kerr, the legendary MMA fighter from the no-holds-barred era of the UFC. He struggles with addiction, winning, love, and friendship, set in the year 2000.

Film is being written and directed by Benny Safdie.

It’s been long overdue for Rocky to flex his dramatic chops.

If y'all haven't seen the documentary with the same name, check it. John Hyams directed. It's great.

This will be the biggest career shift since Rocky Maivia.

The Rock and Emily Blunt star in the sequel to Jungle Cruise. This time, set in the UFC fighting ring.

No, but hopefully this will be good if it's as interesting as The Wrestler with Mickey Rourke.

Iron Claw as well.

This will be my first Dwayne Johnson movie. I don't like him as an actor and think the types of movies he does are pretty dumb and uninteresting.

But I am excited for this, and I hope he kills it in this role.

Rock on set with Mark Kerr.

The nose prosthetic is on point (though not really necessary).

Great trailer. As a big MMA fan, I'm really excited for this.

Blimey - the Rock looks really good in this.

mjvmovieman · 04-29-2025, 02:20 PM

Wow, was not expecting this from Dwayne Johnson, looks fantastic. I hope between this and Scorsese's next film, The Rock pursues more dramatic work and versatile roles.
