Dwayne Johnson has once again teamed up with director Jake Kasdan for Netflix’s ‘John Henry and The Statesmen”. Johnson is reported to lead an ensemble cast of the most popular figures from folklore and legend from all around the world.

Honored to play a childhood hero of mine, JOHN HENRY & his disruptive band of fellow folklore legends from around the world. @netflix are the perfect partners and platform to build. Directed by Jake Kasdan (JUMANJI). JOHN HENRY & THE STATESMEN”

Jake Kasdan who helmed 2017’s Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle, also starred Dwayne Johnson. The actor and his Seven Bucks Productions partners Dany Garcia and Hiram Garcia are producing the project alongside Kasdan, with the help of Beau Flynn of FlynnPictureCo.
