Has The Rock surpassed Will Smith in popularity?

[WesCrook]

Just movies alone, it seems as if Dwayne Johnson is playing in more Will Smith-type roles than Will Smith himself. Whereas, nowadays Will is popular for just being umm...Will Smith.

Will smith just needs to collaborate more with other actors, like martin,,, bad boys 3 may bring him back up

Rock movies aren't all that but his collaboration with other actors makes some of his movie fun unlike will ( im looking forward to that hobbs and shaw fukkary tho

shyt I don't know breh

 

[Doobie Doo]

Other than F&F most of Rock's movies suck. At least WIll Smith has some dope movies when he was hot.

 

[BaldingSoHard]

It's just the cycle. Will had his run. I'd say the Rock is more popular now.

 

[Tenchi Ryu]

I think Rock has a better grasp up on the current social media generation, but to Will's credit he has done incredible keeping his relevance and name brand still around. Him launching a youtube channel was genius and Fresh Prince still being the sitcom standard helps him great too.

 

[Milomann]

He's certainly as overexposed...

I like how you said Will Smith playing Will Smith
That’s legit how it be , that’s why I hate that Aladdin movie so far , with that stupid ass Will Smith look on the genie

I'd pay day 1 for a Will Dwayne buddy cop movie

 

[goatmane]

I'd pay day 1 for a Will Dwayne buddy cop movie

But you just know Kevin Hart will find his way into that movie somehow.

shyt I'd put up with it to make it happen.

Will's name stands on its own. Anyone can recognize his brand right off the bat.

The thing with Rock is that he's all over the place and is only relevant when associating with other popular actors.

 

[Vandelay]

They're neck and neck now...but in Will's prime, it's not a comp at all.

Plus despite being likeable in the same sense as Will, most of Rock's movies are trash.

Rock passed him up years ago
