John Cena was heavily rumored to feature in a match at Summerslam 2021 over the past few months which seems to be in jeopardy. Going by the recent reports, his movie spree is going even bigger with upcoming projects which might just keep him away from the WWE for a long time.
There’re new speculations available on John Cena’s rumored WWE SummerSlam return being up in the air as he has now been announced to feature in a new movie. Variety reports that the veteran WWE superstar is set to appear in the upcoming “Argylle” spy thriller movie.

The first film of a new franchise series will begin filming in Europe around August sometime. At that point Summerslam 2021 will also go down in the WWE where John Cena is rumored to challenge WWE Universal Champion Roman Reigns for the title, although there’s no confirmation is available. This match is reportedly slated for August 21, which could be scrapped if Cena’s movie schedule provides a barrier.
Director Matthew Vaughn’s UK-based movie studio MARV is producing the “Argylle” movie, and they are reportedly planning at least three films in the franchise. There is no word on if John Cena has been roped in for all the future films in the franchise.

The spy thriller is based on a debut novel of the same name by first-time author Ellie Conway. It will be released, next year by Transworld Publishers, a division of Penguin Random House. The film and book will follow “the globe-trotting adventures of a super-spy named Argylle across the United States, London, and other exotic locations.”
Popstar Dua Lipa will make music for the title track and score who will also be making her acting debut in the film. In addition to John Cena and her, the cast of the movie also features Samuel L. Jackson, Henry Cavill, Sam Rockwell, Bryce Dallas Howard, Bryan Cranston, and Catherine O’Hara.
It’s up in the air if this new movie will prevent John Cena from returning to WWE. He has been away from WWE TV since losing to “The Fiend” Bray Wyatt at WrestleMania 36 in 2020 which was a Firefly Funhouse gimmick match.
