Dwayne Johnson Tackles Greek Myth Medusa for Disney

Dwayne Johnson is developing a live-action Medusa film for Disney, with his Seven Bucks Productions producing. Johnson is involved as a producer and is not currently slated to star in the project. This is an original story centered on the snake-haired figure from Greek mythology, rather than a remake of a Disney animated film.

The movie is being developed under Seven Bucks' existing agreement with Disney. Johnson will produce alongside Dany Garcia and Hiram Garcia. Matt Smith is also producing through Electro Corduroy Entertainment.

Michael Montemayor is writing the first draft of the screenplay. His other Disney work includes the upcoming live-action adaptation of Tangled and the original screenplay for Stepsisters. Medusa, one of the three Gorgon sisters, has previously been featured in films like Clash of the Titans and the Disney+ series Percy Jackson and the Olympians.
