For decades John Cena was considered to be the face of WWE, but in more recent years Cena has been focused on his acting career. John Cena has achieved success in the acting world as he’s managed to land notable roles in huge franchises such as the Fast and Furious franchise, Transformers and the DCU.
While John Cena has made a name for himself in the acting world, he recently explained during a panel at Fan Expo in Boston that he was also considered for some other big roles that ultimately didn’t work out.
“That’s the tough thing about film. You can’t get too excited until rubber hits the road. There’s been a ton of stuff. There’s a Duke Nukem thing for a while that was supposed to be going on. There was talk of me possibly going into the Terminator universe, there was talk of me in the Marvel Universe, there was talk of me for Shazam! You wanna give your all to something but you also have to hedge your enthusiasm.”
“Man, we all get frustrated in life, right? Think of the last time you were frustrated and think of the why. It’s always because we have expectations in our head and those expectations get moved, or they don’t get met. When it comes to filmography, you gotta be easy on what you expect, because nothing is guaranteed, and then when rubber hits road and they say, ‘We’re making this,’ you gotta go hard, and you gotta invest, or you won’t get another chance. So, there have been things that I wanted to work out but never anything that I’m fully invested in until it’s real.”
John Cena will be in action on Saturday, September 20th as he’s currently set to face off against Brock Lesnar at the first ever WWE WrestlePalooza premium live event.
