Dwayne Johnson, Emily Blunt To Star In Netflix’s BALL AND CHAIN Superhero

Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt are set to star in Netflix’s upcoming series BALL AND CHAIN.

Loosely based on the 90s comic book Ball and Chain, the film follows a troubled married couple that receive superpowers that only work when they are together. Writer and Academy Award Nominee Emily V. Gordon (The Big Sick, Little America) will adapt the story from Scott Lobdell’s 90s comic book by the same name

Johnson and Blunt will co-star in Disney’s Jungle Cruise which will be released next summer.

Blunt has reprised her role in A Quiet Place Part II which will premiere later this year and is currently in post production on Wild Mountain Thyme.

Johnson most recently starred in Sony’s Jumanji: The Next Level which grossed over $796 million worldwide, the continuation of the 2017 blockbuster Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle. He is in production on Netflix’s Red Notice alongside Ryan Reynolds and Gal Gadot, and Netflix is currently in development on John Henry and The Statesmen with Johnson attached to star and produce. Johnson also recently announced the return of “The Titan Games” airing on May 25 on NBC in which he serves as host and producer. 

“One of our main initiatives at Seven Bucks is to continue to find the best platforms to tell stories that entertain and inspire on a global scale. Netflix is the perfect partner to deliver this epic superhero/romantic comedy experience alongside us, and we’re excited to be back in business with the Netflix team. I’m also excited to not only reunite with dear friend Emily Blunt in front of the camera, but to also collaborate as producing partners as we bring Emily V. Gordon’s script to life,” said Dwayne Johnson, star, producer, and Co-Founder of Seven Bucks Productions.
