John Cena’s $140 Million Success Make Him Follow in The Rock’s Footsteps! OMG Amazing & Shocking Move by John Cena.
John Cena, a renowned figure in the world of WWE, embarked on a remarkable journey that required patience and perseverance before finding success in Hollywood. In 2006, he secured his first credited film role as ‘John Triton’ in the action-packed film “The Marine.”
Interestingly, just a year before Cena’s Hollywood breakthrough, another WWE legend, Dwayne Johnson, had ventured into the world of acting, starring as Sgt. Asher “Sarge” Mahonin in the movie adaptation of the popular video game “Doom.” While Johnson had already blazed a similar trail, Cena’s aspirations to star in an iconic 90s video game adaptation were yet to be fully realized.
Cena’s path to success in Hollywood mirrored his journey in the WWE. He had to establish himself as a credible and respected figure in the wrestling world, earning the trust of Vince McMahon and the WWE higher-ups. Eventually, Cena’s talent and dedication paid off, and he became a record-tying champion. Similarly, his Hollywood career started off slowly, but in 2015, he began to capture the attention and praise of audiences and critics alike.
Cena’s breakthrough performance came in the comedy film “Trainwreck,” where he portrayed the character of Steven. Despite not being the main character, Cena’s portrayal garnered significant acclaim, and the film achieved notable success, grossing $140 million at the box office. Since then, Cena has secured prominent roles in several major movies. During this period, there were talks of him potentially being cast as a character from a beloved 90s video game.
In 2018, reports surfaced indicating that Cena was in discussions to portray the titular character in the long-anticipated movie adaptation of the popular video game “Duke Nukem.” With Cena’s physique and the character’s politically incorrect and aggressive nature, he seemed like an ideal fit for the role. However, for reasons unknown, the film never came to fruition, leaving the door open for Cena to potentially take on the role in the future.
In the meantime, Cena eagerly awaits the release of a film featuring an ensemble of pop culture icons, promising an exciting experience for his fans.
Contrary to his “good-boy” image in WWE, Cena’s upcoming project will see him embrace the role of an iconic villain. In the animated film “Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem,” Cena will lend his voice to Rocksteady, a mutant rhinoceros. The highly anticipated film is set to premiere on August 2 in the US, marking Cena’s second portrayal of a negative character in Hollywood.
It’s worth noting that this isn’t Cena’s first venture into voicing animated characters. Known for his captivating mic skills, the wrestler-turned-actor previously lent his voice to the titular character in “Ferdinand” and also voiced Yoshi in “Doolittle.”
As Cena continues to make strides in both the WWE and Hollywood, his multifaceted talent and dedication to his craft solidify his status as a versatile entertainer. Fans eagerly anticipate his future projects and the captivating performances he brings to the screen.
