How about witnessing these two squaring off in the silver screen? Both The Rock and John Cena have become movie stars after their heyday in the WWE is over. It was the fans who wanted to see them in a match against each other. Now they want to see these two on the Hollywood screen which forced John Cena to remark on the topic in recent times.
The 16-time world champion recently appeared in an interview with Comicbook.com to address the matter. The question towards him was a straight one. People wanted to know whether he will be starring in a movie with his former WWE Co-star, Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson. John Cena did not back down from making this a reality with the following comments,
“It certainly is something that they wanted to see in a WWE venue and I think that’s a good litmus test about the pulse of pop culture. Dwayne’s such a larger than life star, he truly is in his own league. But people were interested in us in that sort of universe. I feel that they would be interested in us on the big screen, as well.”
John Cena and The Rock was about to come together in a movie is things would have been all smooth. Reports confirmed that both will share screen space in the upcoming movie Shazam. But the latter one backed down from the project in which John Cena was about to play a superhero. The movie never started filming, either.
The Rock has stepped his foot into Hollywood in the year 2002 and started seeing success instantly. He has been one of the most successful box office attractions in the history of Hollywood. John Cena has started to follow the footsteps of his predecessors. But he is yet to see huge success in his movie career.
Recently, BumbleBee movie was a huge success though with an upcoming movie in the pipeline named The Voyage of DrDolittle. Apart from these, John Cena has been part of movies like Ferdinand, Daddy’s Home 2 in recent times. These projects kept him away from the WWE earning him the tag of a part-timer. He will only be working in big events like Royal Rumble or Wrestlemania from now on.
