Los Angeles, November 16 - Wrestler turned actor, Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson, has been in red hot demand in Hollywood. He is currently enjoying the success of his recently released "Red Notice" on Netflix. Co-starring Gal Gadot and Ryan Reynolds, the action comedy is the most-watched film on the first day, as announced by the streamer.

Johnson played an FBI agent in the film who reluctantly teams up with a renowned art thief (Ryan Reynolds) in order to catch an even more notorious criminal (Gal Gadot). The "Fast & Furious" actor, however, wants to play James Bond in a future Bond film and follow in Sean Connery's footsteps. In case you are not aware, The Rock's grandfather, Peter Fanene Maivia, was a villain in 1967's Bond film "You Only Live Twice".



However, unlike his grandfather who took part in an action sequence against Connery's James Bond, Dwayne Johnson doesn't want to play the villain and only has the desire to play the iconic 007 agent.

"Yes, my grandfather was a Bond villain in You Only Live Twice with Sean Connery", Johnson told Esquire in a Q&A video interview. "It was very, very cool. And I would like to follow in his footsteps and be the next Bond. I don't wanna be a villain. Gotta be Bond".

Interestingly, James Bond producers Michael G. Wilson, and Barbara Broccoli recently said in an interview that they haven't decided on who will be the next 007 agent. While there are many names rumoured to be in the line to play the character, the makers have now one more option in Johnson if they do wish to sign him.

Meanwhile, Johnson will next be seen in DCEU's superhero film "Black Adam", in which he plays the title role, who, in comic books, is one of the archenemies of the superhero Captain Marvel and the nemesis of the Marvel Family. Warner Bros. unveiled the first look of Johnson as Black Adam during DC FanDome. It will be released on July 29, 2022.
