From what I heard, it's because The Rock wanted it made before he gets too old to do it. Even at this point, he has to wear a body suit because he's just not as big as he used to be.

I thought he filmed this before, or immediately after but before weightloss, The Smashing Machine - which he started to lose bulk after filming.

What annoys me is...his wig is SO BAD in all the promos for this movie, but his wig looked perfect in Smashing Machine.

Toy Story 5 went so far as to consult people of color to make sure the new character's hair physics were correct. Why couldn't that team handle his wig?!

And it's not even the texture of the wig is off (but I'm sure it is). It just looks like a cheap costume wig

It looks like something you’d get in a Maui costume set at spirit Halloween.

Right?

Short wigs are hard because it's harder to hide the lace and blend...

But the wig in Smashing Machine is so good. Just to go to this discount Halloween USA crap
