Emily Blunt has teased her co-star Dwayne Johnson's role in Martin Scorsese's next, currently untitled movie – and she says it's a "terribly exciting role" for the actor, whose choice of acting projects has taken a turn for the dramatic recently.

"We're developing it right now. It's a really astonishing story," Blunt told Deadline. "It's the last great American mob story, and I can't believe it hasn't been told yet. It's a terribly exciting role for [Johnson] to kind of dig into. So, it's being written, we're working on it. And that's the wonderful part, is building it."
