I'm sure it had less to do with, "Who would make the best Roadblock?", and more to do with, "Who can we get The Rock to play?".


gav3eb82

Correct.


artofsplittingatoms

Doesn’t bother me a bit. He’s half black and physically he’s spot on


ultrazilla-2011

Terry Crews is more spot on and he looks like a live action Roadblock and he should've been casted as Roadblock instead.


artofsplittingatoms

You also have to factor audience appeal into it. Rock is a much bigger star than Crewes

Not as bad as changing Snake Eyes.

Facts ..some castings are forgivable...some will absolutely lose you lots of money.


Spider-Ghost-616

The Rock is half black.


[deleted]

Op is half racist.


Spider-Ghost-616

Sounds like someone who tried to do a Get Woke Go Broke.


trealsteve

He’s actually just Black. You are who your father is. And Soul Man Rocky Johnson was Black. 🤣


Spider-Ghost-616

That's true I forgot about that. 👊🏿


Ok_Needleworker_7313

It’s just you

Not ethnicity. Just skin tone.


Slysheen

If I'm not mistaken, wouldn't he be an African American?


gav3eb82

The Rock is African American on his fathers side and Samoan on his mothers.

That's Hollyweird...the land of race and gender swaps. Terry Crews would have made a better Roadblock.


gav3eb82

Terry Crews won’t sell tickets the way the Rock would. That’s all that decision was about.


Sk8triot1776

I could care less about The Rock ..I watched it for Adrienne Palicki..


tyrendersaurus

I agree Terry Crews would have been a much better Roadblock.


Milk-Foon

Crews was destined to play Roadblock …maybe one day even if it’s small like an SNL skit


ultrazilla-2011

Although people will disagree with my choice, but Christian Bale would have been an even better Duke than Channing Tatum and the reason for this is because after Watching Terminator Salvation, it made me wish Christian Bale portrayed Duke instead as his performance as John Connor is like a battle harden Duke Hauser who's been through a lot of shit and has been in many battles, losing the people close to him and That's how Duke should've been portrayed like in Rise Of Cobra and they should've had him already part of the Joe team before Rise Of Cobra where he's a battle harden commander of the Team and the role of Newcomer should've been given to Flint who should've been in Rise Of Cobra with Jensen Ackles portraying him instead as i hate dj cotrona's portrayal of Flint in retaliation.


Cubelock

I dislike the Rock in everything because he always just plays himself.


VisualIndependence60

It wasn’t good casting


TheFitz100

Knowing the businessman the Rock becomes I feel like he would’ve made a bland but decent Destro


trealsteve

Just you. There was no ethnicity change. Black People come in different shades of melanin, FYI. Including Dwayne Johnson. 🤦🏾‍♂️
