Yahoo Autos Fast & Furious 9 Gets More Real as John Cena Is Reportedly Signed
WWE wrestling star, movie actor, and big-time car nut John Cena appears slated to join the cast of Fast & Furious 9, which is scheduled to hit theaters in 2020.
The star of the long-running movie franchise, Vin Diesel, put the rumor mill into high gear with an Instagram video in which he refers to the Fast & Furious films and then pans the camera over to Cena, who smiles and winks at the camera.
Cena reportedly would replace Dwayne "the Rock" Johnson, who will star in a spinoff titled Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw.
If you're a Fast & Furious fan-and if you love cars, crazy sideways driving, tire smoke, and insane automotive stunts, it's hard not to be-then you definitely got the message that the franchise's star, Vin Diesel, was sending in a recent Instagram video post. In case Diesel's delivery was too cryptic for you, we'll decode it. The next movie in the never-ending series of tire-squealing sequels, Fast & Furious 9, will have a new hunk of a co-star in the driver's seat when it comes out next year: John Cena.
Cena gained fame in WWE professional wrestling, wining and losing several so-called championships. In the past several years he has pursued a new career in the entertainment business, performing voice-overs for animated TV characters and acting on TV and in movies such as Daddy's Home with Will Ferrell.
In the car world, Cena made news several months ago by getting into a legal feud with the Ford Motor Company over the premature resale of a new Ford GT that he had purchased. (Owners had to agree not to sell the car for at least two years, but Cena attempted to flip his within just a few months. The parties settled for an unspecified amount that went to charity.)
Fast & Furious 9 is scheduled to come out in May 2020, according to the Internet Movie Database.
