The Rock has had a plentiful career going from action to comedy and back. The Skyscraper star has starred in several franchises such as Jumanji, Fast & Furious, San Andreas, Rampage and the Disney’s upcoming Jungle Cruise movie.
Kamehameha is known as the founder and first ruler of the kingdom of Hawaii, uniting the warring islands. The King is described as a sweeping historical epic based on the true-life story of Kamehameha, who fulfilled the prophecy that surrounded his fabled life since birth.
Zemeckis will soon be in theaters with Universal’s Welcome to Marwen, starring Steve Carell and Leslie Mann.
