John Cena Has Joined the Cast of "Fast & Furious 9"
It sounds like we have a new member joining the Fast and Furious family. While it was rumored back in April Deadline has officially confirmed that former WWE star John Cena has officially joined the cast of Fast & Furious 9. At the moment we don't know anything about the role that Cena will be playing aside from the fact that he will be "a badass" which is not exactly a detailed description for a character appearing in this series.
Star Vin Diesel hinted that Cena might be joining the series in a video back in April but Universal confirmed today that he is joining the series. Cena has been branching out into a bunch of fun roles including comedies such as the underrated Blockers and his turn in the well-received Bumblebee last year.
The next entry in this series in the first spin-off which is called Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw. At the moment Dwayne Johnson is only confirmed for the spin-off movie and not for Fast & Furious 9.
Summary: Lawman Luke Hobbs and outcast Deckard Shaw form an unlikely alliance when a cyber-genetically enhanced villain threatens the future of humanity.
Fast & Furious Presents: Hobbs & Shaw, directed by David Leitch, stars Dwayne Johnson, Jason Statham, Vanessa Kirby, Eiza Gonzalaz, and Idris Elba. It will be released on August 2, 2019.
