Dwayne Johnson has been cast in Fox's The Tooth Fairy, reports Variety.

The wrestler-turned-actor will play an ordinary man who is brought in to save the tooth fairy kingdom.

Michael Lembeck (The Santa Clause 2) will direct from a script by Lowell Ganz and Babaloo Mandel, and Joshua Sternin and Jeffrey Ventimilia.

Johnson has previously appeared in The Scorpion King, Welcome to the Jungle and Southland Tales. He'll be seen next starring opposite Steve Carell in this summer's spy comedy Get Smart and in Disney's Race to Witch Mountain.
