Dwayne Johnson is set to star in a chilling new sci-fi thriller called The Insect, which is said to combine psychological scares with intense action sequences. While details about the project are scarce, sources say it could represent a significant departure from Johnson’s usual action roles, delving into themes of suspense and body horror.
The Insect is a terrifying tale set in a near-future society suffering from an outbreak of parasitic, mutant insects. Johnson is said to play a former military scientist who, after tragically losing his family to the disease, reluctantly leads a team tasked with uncovering a disastrous secret government experiment. As the insects evolve, so does the horror they unleash, transforming their hosts into bizarre human-insect hybrids.
The film is said to be inspired by horror classics like The Thing and The Fly, with themes of paranoia, transformation, and the struggle for survival. Johnson’s character may face the terrifying possibility that he himself may be infected.
