It was previously reported that John Cena was in talks to take the lead role in the live action film adaptation of Duke Nukem. That is now confirmed thanks to producer Andrew Form.
Yeah, that’s what we’re working with now. He (John Cena) is. Yes. We don’t have a script yet, so that is confirmed at this point but if he reads the script and he doesn’t like the script I’m sure there’s ways that he could pull out, but right now he’s our guy.
This is an interesting choice for both Cena and the studio. Can Cena pull off the role? Or will this end up being a film no one can see?
