DOOM: Live Action – Teaser Trailer | Dwayne Johnson as Doom Slayer

DOOM: Live Action (2025), Dwayne Johnson stars as the legendary Doom Slayer, taking the brutal, fast-paced action of the beloved video game franchise to the big screen. The film opens with the UAC (Union Aerospace Corporation) base on Mars descending into chaos after an experiment to harness energy from Hell goes horribly wrong. Demons pour through portals, wreaking havoc and wiping out nearly all the personnel. The Doom Slayer, awakened from a mysterious sarcophagus deep within the UAC facility, rises to fight back.

The early scenes set the tone for what’s to come: relentless, bloody violence. Johnson’s Doom Slayer is a silent, unstoppable force, tearing through demonic hordes with a vast array of iconic weapons. From his double-barreled shotgun to the devastating BFG (Big Freaking Gun), the film is a feast for fans of the DOOM franchise, with every gory kill and intense battle staying true to the original games.

Doom (stylized as DOOM) is an American media franchise created by John Carmack, John Romero, Adrian Carmack, Kevin Cloud, and Tom Hall. The series usually focuses on the exploits of an unnamed space marine (often referred to as Doomguy or Doom Slayer) operating under the auspices of the Union Aerospace Corporation (UAC), who fights hordes of demons and the undead in order to save Earth from an apocalyptic invasion.

The original Doom is considered one of the first pioneering first-person shooter games, introducing to IBM-compatible computers features such as 3D graphics, third-dimension spatiality, networked multiplayer gameplay, and support for player-created modifications with the Doom WAD format. Over 10 million copies of games in the Doom series have been sold; the series has spawned numerous sequels, novels, comic books, board games, and film adaptations.
