10 Insane Acting Salaries For Upcoming Movies

Have you ever seen a movie? If so, there's a good chance Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson was in it. Especially in recent years, The Rock has been in so many action flicks that it's hard to name a film he's not in. The Rock usually elevates movies with his performances too. Films such as Baywatch and Skyscraper aren't anything special, but the involvement of Dwayne Johnson really helps them in almost every way and clearly Hollywood knows that.

Taking the long running character Luke Hobbs from the Fast & Furious franchise, and putting him with Jason Statham's Deckard Shaw is a fantastic move on Universal's part. As one of the most charismatic actors around at the moment, The Rock could sell any movie to a massive audience, so putting him front and center in an already huge franchise is most likely going to rake in millions of dollars.

In light of the inevitable box office earnings Hobbs & Shaw is going to make, Dwayne Johnson will be paid a staggering $20 million for his performance. While this is going to help with marketing, it's still astonishing how much Universal is willing to pay in order to keep The Rock in the franchise. With a Jumanji sequel on the way and many more blockbusters to come, it looks like The Rock will continue to make a killing from his Hollywood outings.
