In the upcoming movie The Smashing Machine , Johnson will play MMA legend Mark Kerr, a fighter known for his intense battles both in and out of the ring. The movie, made by A24, is set to come out next year. Johnson, known for his love of sports, especially wrestling and MMA, was excited to take on this role.
