Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt have already established a rapport with one another thanks to their time on Jungle Cruise, and while that movie is still a ways off from releasing, the actors have already planned their next project together. Last week, it was reported that Johnson and Blunt will next appear together in a superhero movie called Ball and Chain, and now word's come in that it'll be a streaming offering rather than hit theaters.

While it remains to be seen when Ball and Chain will arrive, the next Dwayne Johnson and Emily Blunt-led picture has landed at Netflix. This marks the second Johnson movie that's landed on the streaming platform, as Red Notice (which also stars Gal Gadot and Ryan Reynolds) is already on track to be put there at a yet-to-be-determined date.

Here's what Dwayne Johnson, who is producing Ball and Chain through Seven Bucks Productions alongside Dany Garcia and Hiram Garcia said about Ball and Chain going to Netflix:

`One of our main initiatives at Seven Bucks is to continue to find the best platforms to tell stories that entertain and inspire on a global scale. Netflix is the perfect partner to deliver this epic superhero/romantic comedy experience alongside us, and we're excited to be back in business with the Netflix team. I'm also excited to not only reunite with dear friend Emily Blunt in front of the camera, but to also collaborate as producing partners as we bring Emily V. Gordon's script to life.`



This marks the latest way that Netflix is expanding its library of original comic book content. In addition to being home to finished Marvel shows like Daredevil and Jessica Jones, as well as the still-running The Umbrella Academy and the record-breaking Extraction, the service also has its Millarworld adaptations on the way, has signed a first-look deal with Boom Studios for new TV shows, given the green light for the Robert Downey Jr.-produced DC Comics series Sweet Tooth. and will released the Charlize Theron-led The Old Guard later this year.
