Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This is the fifth Scorpion King film and the second without Dwayne Johnson; the franchise has made over $200M despite increasingly desperate premises.
South African actress Pearl Thusi was already a massive star across Africa; this role was clearly meant to expand the franchise's international appeal while paying her wages in exposure.
