WWE legend Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson is reportedly set to produce Disney’s live-action Medusa movie.
According to Deadline, The Rock’s Seven Bucks Productions is one of the producers on the Disney film about the famed snake-haired woman. Medusa is one of the three Gorgon sisters in Greek mythology, who would turn anyone who looked upon her to stone.

Deadline reported that The Rock will not star in the film and will only be a producer.
“Note, this is not a starring vehicle for Dwayne Johnson at this point in time (but how cool would it be if it ultimately is?). Johnson is producing with his Seven Bucks partners Dany Garcia and Hiram Garcia, with Melissa Fried overseeing for the label. Matt Smith is also producing under Electro Corduroy Entertainment,” the report read.
Rising Hollywood screenwriter Michael Montemayor is writing the first draft of the live-action Medusa film. However, the report says details of his take on the Greek myth figure are kept under wraps. This is far from Montemayor’s first Disney venture. He recently wrote for Tangled, which will hit theaters on March 31, 2028. He was also hired to pen scripts for the studio’s upcoming Cinderella spin-off, Stepsisters.
The new Medusa film is being developed under a multi-year film deal that The Rock’s Seven Bucks Productions signed with Disney in June 2024. The partnership was expanded in 2025 when the company signed a separate deal with Disney’s 20th Television to create television programming.
The Rock’s production company and Disney have previously worked on Jungle Cruise and the live-action Moana. His upcoming project is Jumanji: Open World, which is the final film in the franchise.
