Dwayne Johnson is considering a reboot of his 2002 movie ‘The Scorpion King’, which launched him in the Hollywood industry, reported PTI.

Johnson has collaborated with Universal Pictures to develop the reboot and has roped in Straight Outta Compton screenwriter Jonathan Herman for working on the scripts.

The Scorpion King was a spinoff of Brendan Fraser’s The Mummy series, which witnessed Johnson’s Scorpion King stint as an antagonist of 2001’s The Mummy Returns.

The film, which was a prequel, narrated the story of the desert warrior Mathayus (played by Johnson). The movie earned USD 178.7 million globally and brought Johnson into limelight, who was then known for his role in WWE, as a leading man.

The new movie will be produced by Johnson and Dany Garcia’s Seven Bucks Productions. Unlike the original which was set in the distant past, it is being represented as a contemporary take.

“The Scorpion King was my very first role ever on the silver screen and I’m honored and excited to reimagine and deliver this cool mythology to a whole new generation,” said Johnson.

“I wouldn’t have had the career I’m lucky enough to have had it not been for The Scorpion King and I’m thrilled that we at Seven Bucks Productions can help create those same opportunities for other hardworking actors today. I believe Jonathan Herman will put in the hard work to deliver a fantastic script for our global audience,” he added.
