3. Fighting With My Family

The Movie: Based on the life of WWE wrestler Paige, Fighting With My Family is directed by Stephen Merchant and stars Dwayne Johnson, Nick Frost, Lena Heady and Vince Vaughn.

Given Merchant's involvement, expect this to lean heavily on the comedy, and with The Rock also executive-producing, it's destined to be an entertaining treat for wrestling fans.

Why It Could Be A Hit: This one almost speaks for itself. The Rock is currently the biggest movie star in the world, and after Jumanji exceeded even the most optimistic of expectations, it seems like he can do no wrong.

He's always been a popular wrestling personality too, and the excitement of seeing him involved with a wrestling movie is easy to feel, especially for those of us who grew up watching him dominate inside the ring.

There was also a lot of real-world drama surrounding Paige earlier this year, and while it's not clear if the movie will cover recent events in a later scene, this is a very good time for a movie about her to open.

In 2022, he took charge of WhoCulture and has grown it into the biggest Doctor Who channel on YouTube, and one of the biggest Doctor Who communities on the web full-stop. He has been writing and video editing since his early teens, and first got a taste for content creation after making his own Doctor Who trailers, off the back of a burning obsession with the Matt Smith era of the show. Like many his age, he first got into Doctor Who with the 2005 revival, but has since gone back and fallen in love with the classic years too. If you need someone to recite every Doctor Who episode in order, or to give you a random factoid about the making of Gridlock, Danny is the person to ask!
