In the labyrinth of Hollywood, where egos clash as much as collaboration, the behind-the-scenes drama can rival the energy of the screen itself. The latest film in Hollywood’s scandalous saga revolves around the industry’s biggest stars: Dwayne Johnson and Ryan Reynolds.
Before their long-awaited Red Notice concert was over, their tumultuous history lingered on the set of Red Notice-like ghosts in the shadows of celluloid. In 2021, the world first saw the amazing chemistry between Dwayne Johnson, Gal Gadot, and Reynolds in the Netflix blockbuster Red Notice. In less than a month, the film broke records and became the most-watched film by the giant. But behind the scenes, beneath the glitz and glamor, problems are mounting and threatening to turn into riots.
The feud between Dwayne Johnson and Ryan Reynolds
There was talk of Johnson’s arrival at the end of the show, a process that bothered Reynolds most. Dwayne Johnson’s final moments, like the final boss of a video game being interrupted by the hero’s goal, pushed Reynolds over a cliff. A particularly bad example was Johnson who arrived five hours behind schedule, which is believed to have fueled their animosity. Witnesses described the conflict as a big one, and Reynolds, known for his wit on and off the screen, did not hide his sadness.
The Rock and Ryan Reynolds reportedly went through a “huge fight” because The Rock would constantly be over 5 hours late on the set of ‘RED NOTICE.’

Although the details of the resolution of the conflict are still under wraps, one thing is clear: the tension between the two titans of Hollywood is deepening, which is hampering the progress on the announcement of Red Notice is highly anticipated. Although the success of the first series cannot be denied, the prospects for future collaborations are somewhat bleak as the two stars refuse to agree.
Even to Reconciliation
In the Hollywood rumor mill, rumors of a Johnson-Reynolds reconciliation began to circulate. Although concrete evidence is lacking, observations of friendship have emerged, albeit mixed with a sense of humorous competition. Social media is a battleground for them to joke and attack each other about their careers in the spiritual world. However, as the dust settles and the victims of the past begin to heal, the question remains: Have The Rock and Deadpool buried the hatchet, or is this just a cover in a battle of egos?
Johnson’s journey goes beyond the Red Notice
As the story of Red Notice continues behind closed doors, Dwayne Johnson will find many projects in 2024. From leading his life to donning the cape again in the adaptation live performance, the rock ‘n’ roll calendar is full of events.
However, amid the glitz and glamor of Hollywood, Johnson’s return to the WWE ring is becoming increasingly popular. As his feud with Cody Rhodes continues to grow, speculation abounds as to when the mega match will reach its peak, and rumors of a fight at SummerSlam will captivate fans around the world.
As another chapter in Hollywood history draws to a close, the story of Dwayne Johnson and Ryan Reynolds shows the turmoil in show business. From the heights of collaboration to the depths of conflict, their journey has been filled with friendship and conflict.
But as the saying goes, in Hollywood, anything is possible. So, as we await the next installments of the Red Notice saga, only time will tell if the sparks of friendship will be rekindled or if the flames of rivalry will reignite.
