The Scorpion King will be rebooted, Johnson will not star but serve as producer

Today (November 11), according to foreign media Deadline, the classic fantasy action film "The Scorpion King" will be rebooted, but "The Rock" Johnson will not star in the new film, but will serve as the producer of the new film.

Universal Pictures will continue to be the producer of the film. According to reports, Johnson will not be in the reboot of The Scorpion King due to his busy schedule. Universal Pictures is likely to hire a new actor, but Johnson is enthusiastic about the new film, so he still has a chance to appear in the reboot. The story of the reboot of The Scorpion King will take place in modern times and will be written by Jonathan Herman, the screenwriter of Straight Outta Compton. In addition, he also rewrote the script for Fast & Furious 9.

"The Scorpion King was my first on-screen role, and I'm honored to reimagine and pass on this cool mythology to a new generation," Johnson said in a statement. "I wouldn't have been so lucky as an actor without The Scorpion King, and I'm glad that Seven Bucks Productions is creating opportunities for other hardworking actors. I'm sure screenwriter Jonathan Herman will work hard to deliver a wonderful script for audiences around the world."

At present, the specific plot and release date of the reboot of "The Scorpion King" are still unknown.
