Dwayne Johnson dropped a trailer for Young Rock on Twitter, and it shows “The Rock” running for President in 2032. The series narrates the renowned wrestler turned actor’s life in a delightfully funny way.
The series is framed in an interview, where Johnson tells the interviewer, played by Randall Park, about his life, reminiscing his past’s outrageous stories. The scene takes place in 2032, where Johnson is running for President of the USA. Check the trailer out below:
Other than that, the trailer also features appearances by fictional versions of Johnson’s father, the original Rocky, along with our favorites from yesteryear, like Andre The Giant, Junkyard Dog, Randy Macho Man Savage, and Iron Sheik.
Rumors about Johnson running for the leadership of the USA isn’t something new. Back in 2016, when he was asked if he wished to participate in the presidential election, Johnson replied that he would if “American people asked for it.”
“This interesting ground swell that has happened on the idea of my being president one day has become a legit thing to some people. If it is a very real, overwhelming, positive, strong, ‘We want you to run for president,’ and if I felt that I can step up to the plate and become a tremendous leader for our country and make a real difference and make change, I would do it,”
Dwane Johnson Said in 2016
Back when the former President, Donald Trump, had won the election, he mentioned that he might consider running for the 2020 elections. But that didn’t seem to have happened, as he has openly expressed his support for the current President, Joe Biden.
The trailer mentions him running for the Presidential election in 2032. And given his past comments about the said role, is the series making some sort of an early announcement? Or is it a testing ground? Only time will answer the questions, as Young Rock is all set to premiere next month on February 16, 2021, at 8:30 p.m. Eastern on NBC.
