WWE News: John Cena Scores Movie Role In Jackie Chan’s ‘Project X’

WWE Superstar John Cena has primarily been in the news over the past couple of months not because of anything he’s done in WWE, but the ongoing saga of his reported on-again, off-again relationship with Nikki Bella (which you can find all of here). We’ve got a change of pace today however!

Deadline.com is reporting that Cena has signed on for a new movie, Project X, featuring Jackie Chan who is also one of the producers. The film being written by Arash Amel (The Titan-2018, A Private War-2018, Grace Of Monaco-2014) and directed by Scott Waugh (Act Of Valor-2012, Need For Speed-2014) is currently in pre-production.

This comes after Cena saw his movie Blockers hit theaters this Spring, plus he landed the starring role in the Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson project The Jansen Directive (which you can read here) and is the star of the forthcoming Transformers movie, a Bumblebee spin-off.

Below is a description of the film via Deadline:

“A Chinese private security contractor who must help get oil workers out of peril when the refinery is attacked in Baghdad. Once he uncovers the attack as part of a plot to steal the oil, he partners with an American former Marine who lives in Iraq teaching orphans. The Marine had been fooled into thinking he was working to seize illegally gotten Chinese assets before he learns he was had and partners up with the Snow Leopard Commando.”
