Johnson is noted for his busy schedule and developing multiple projects at once. A sequel to the box-office hit "San Andreas" was announced to be in the pre-production stage with the director of the first film, Brad Peyton, returning as director along with the main cast (marking the fourth collaboration between the two following "Journey 2", "San Andreas", and "Rampage"). Though originally attached as producer and star, Johnson will now serve solely as the former on a film adaptation of "The Janson Directive". John Cena will fill the leading role, with Akiva Goldsman attached as screenwriter. Additionally, he will produce and star in a Netflix exclusive film titled "John Henry & The Statesmen", as the titular folklore hero. The film will be directed by Jake Kasdan, from a script co-written by Kasdan and Tom Wheeler. With the first official teaser trailer released in October 2018, the project marks Kasdan and Johnson's third collaboration, following "Jumanji: Welcome to the Jungle" and "Jumanji: The Next Level".
