On Monday, Gala Games took to Twitter to announce a fantastic collaboration with The Rock and Mark Wahlberg. Initially, the team shared the news with their Discord community.

Is Gala Games Collaborating With The Rock?

Apparently, a Gala Games representative finally confirmed the collaboration via CoinDesk:

“The announcement post was meant to be a closed post for the Discord community and wasn’t supposed to be shared in a public place,” the anonymous spokesperson said. “It was also part of a larger conversation in Discord about where Gala Film was headed. Gala took the tweet down out of respect to all involved partners but we look forward to sharing more about these projects in the near future.”

In conclusion, the exciting partnership will happen this year after all. This certainly is not the first Hollywood partnership –  so many stars are already exploring Web3. Just check out how many famous people own a Bored Ape Yacht Club NFT!
