John Cena has been getting some big roles in Hollywood over the past year or so. He has nabbed another one as news broke on Tuesday that Cena will be starring in a new action-thriller movie.
This movie will be directed by Need for Speed‘s Scott Waugh. It will star Cena and Jackie Chan. Cena will be replacing Sylvester Stallone, who was originally signed on to star alongside Chan.
Here is a premise of the plot according to the Hollywood Reporter:
“The movie centers on a Chinese private security contractor (Chan) who is called in to extract the oil workers when a China-run oil refinery in the Middle East is attacked. When he learns that the attackers’ real plan is to steal a fortune in oil, he teams up with an American — a former Marine played by John Cena — to stop them”
