It's like clockwork. Once the temperature hits above 90 degrees, there will be some sort of offering from Dwayne "The Rock" Johnson at the box office that has the actor, producer and entrepreneur capably fighting some gigantic force to save the world.

This summer blockbuster season alone, Johnson has tamed a series of giant animals in Rampage and an oft-exploding skyscraper in the aptly named Skyscraper.

Last year, Johnson, the highest paid actor in Hollywood, earned a whopping $124 million. The 46-year-old also has a fairly significant social media presence with 13 million Twitter followers, 53 million Facebook fans and 108 million Instagram followers.
