The hint that John Cena will be joining the cast of Fast and Furious 9 was first given by Vin Diesel.
According to reports in May, Cena’s appearance in the upcoming Fast and Furious 9 could serve as a stand-in of sorts after Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson confirmed to MTV News that he’s sitting the next installment out.
Now, the news has officially been confirmed that the former WWE star will be actually joining the cast of the action movie.
Although not much is known about his character at this time, we can only assume that multiple attitudes will be adjusted, vehicles will be destroyed, and lives will be lived one quarter-mile at a time.
For nearly 20 years, the Fast Franchise has entertained fans and created some of the biggest cinematic moments in history. It’s an incredible honor to join this franchise and this family. https://t.co/7GFzDsX8sl
