Dwayne Johnson Suffers Elbow Injury While Filming 'The Smashing Machine'

Dwayne Johnson is starring as MMA and UFC legend Mark Kerr in 'The Smashing Machine.'

Johnson admitted that he "got banged up pretty good today in our scenes" and even speculated that there could be "some soft tissue damage," something he won't be able to determine until the fluid lessens in his elbow. Last month, the first pic of Johnson in character was released, showing the actor wearing grappling gloves and a knee sleeve as he sat in the corner of the ring. Johnson and Dany Garcia's Seven Bucks Productions (which acquired the rights in 2019) will produce alongside Safdie's Out for the Count banner, Eli Bush and David Koplan.
