Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson's first appearance in the Fast and Furious saga drove it to new heights, but over a decade on, can he do it all again? The Rock was such a charismatic presence during his WWE days that he felt like a natural fit for movie stardom – but it was a long road to get there. Most of his early star vehicles like The Rundown underperformed, and he was soon relegated to mediocre kids' movies like The Tooth Fairy. It wasn't until he was cast as Hobbs in Fast Five that his star persona finally clicked.
