![]() So just imagine Luke Hobbs trapped in the mold of a toy who doesn't know he's a toy. During his wrestling days and then over the course of his ridiculously successful run in Hollywood, Johnson has proved time and time again that he can handle his own when it comes to comedy especially when he's the butt of the joke. Still don't believe me? Okay, but like I said - hear me out. ![]() Imagine, if you will, that we live in a 1995 where Dwayne Johnson's career got started about 10 years earlier than in real life and Tim Allen wasn't available to voice the toy who's convinced he's not a toy? Wouldn't The Rock be perfect here? Having Buzz Lightyear be voiced by anyone not named Tim Allen could be considered sacrilegious to most Toy Story fans, but hear me out. ![]() On top of that, Johnson has proven time and time again that he's willing to take on the physicality of roles like seen here in Cliffhanger. First off, he's got the physique down and the facial expressions down, so he would be perfect for the rescue ranger haunted by the memory of not being able to save his best friend's girlfriend. ![]() If Sylvester Stallone wasn't in the picture in this made-up scenario, Johnson would be a sure bet for the role of Gabriel "Gabe" Walker. ![]() Just imagine for a second that Dwayne Johnson woke up one morning and found himself in front of the casting director of Cliffhanger back in the early 1990s. Just look at Stallone's filmography and you can't find a stretch of more than a year when he wasn't in something like Cobra, Tango & Cash, and Cliffhanger, which brings me to my next point. Before Dwayne Johnson was being cast in just about every action movie known to man in the 2000s and 2010s, there was Sylvester Stallone headlining action thriller after action thriller in the 1980s and 1990s. ![]()
