One WWE star who has also become one of the biggest names in action movies has officially signed on for his next project. A new report from THR revealed that John Cena will officially star in Matchbox, the next chapter in Mattel Films after the success of Barbie. Sam Hargrave, best known for working as a stunt coordinator for years and most recently directing Chris Hemsworth in both Extraction movies, is on board to direct.
The script for Matchbox comes from David Coggeshall and Jonathan Tropper. The former is best known for penning the screenplay for The Family Plan, the Mark Wahlberg-led action comedy which is also streaming on Apple TV+. Most recently, he wrote the script for The Deliverance, the horror movie featuring Glenn Close that has been dominating the Netflix top 10 chart.
What Are John Cena’s Most Recent Roles? One of Cena's most famous roles came in 2018 when he starred alongside Hailee Steinfeld in Bumblebee, the Transformers spin-off movie which is currently streaming on Paramount+. He also plays the role of Jakob in the Fast & Furious movies, with his most recent appearance coming in Fast X.
Matchbox does not yet have an official release date. Stay tuned to Collider for future updates on the project and watch Cena in Peacemaker, now streaming on Max.
