Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson plays Character adopted by Nigerian Parents in New Action Adventure “Rampage” | Watch Trailer
Global icon Dwayne Johnson also known as The Rock headlines the action adventure Rampage, directed by Brad Peyton.
Johnson stars as primatologist Davis Okoye, a man who keeps people at a distance but shares an unshakable bond with George, the extraordinarily intelligent, incredibly rare albino silverback gorilla who has been in his care since he rescued the young orphan from poachers. But a rogue genetic experiment gone awry mutates this gentle ape into a raging creature of enormous size. To make matters worse, it’s soon discovered there are other similarly altered animals. As these newly created alpha predators tear across North America, destroying everything in their path,
Okoye teams with discredited geneticist Kate Caldwell (Naomie Harris) to secure an antidote, fighting his way through an ever-changing battlefield, not only to halt a global catastrophe but to save the fearsome creature that was once his friend.
The Rock also revealed on Twitter that he chose the name Davis Okoye in honor of the famous NFL player Christian “Nigerian Nightmare” Okoye as his character was adopted by Nigerian parents.
Read his tweet below:
Yes sir, happy you picked up on that. Since my character was adopted by a Nigerian family, I wanted his last name to pay homage to one of my all time fav @NFL football players – the “Nigerian Nightmare” Christian Okoye. Enjoy Rampage ?? https://t.co/08OixZNKet
