John Cena's Hollywood career remains as busy as ever, since Cena's now set to star alongside Kevin Hart in a new Netflix film called The Leading Man.
According to Deadline, John Cena and Kevin Hart will star in a new Netflix action comedy called The Leading Man, based on the comic book series by Jeremy Haun and B. Clay Moore. Writers Jon and Erich Hoeber sold the idea to Netflix, with both Cena and Hart also producing the film.
The story follows a self-centered movie star played by Cena who finds out his co-star and "man in the chair," played by Hart, is actually a real secret agent. He has to put aside his ego and learn that action stars aren't real action heroes, all while helping to save the world.
Cena is also serving as an executive producer on The Leading Man. His recent Amazon action comedy Heads of State was a huge hit, ranking as the fourth most-watched Amazon MGM movie ever on the platform. He will also appear in Coyote vs. Acme and return for season two of the popular HBO Max series Peacemaker.
With Cena's solid comedic skills and Hart's strong box office appeal, The Leading Man seems set to be a streaming success. Therefore, we'll have to see if it does end up becoming a huge hit once it releases in the future.
