mobanmarketAccording to PWInsider, John Cena has been in talks to star in the big screen adaptation of 90s first-person shooter videogame, Duke Nukem.
Cena’s involvement was confirmed by producer Andrew Form, according to movie website Cinema Blend.
“Yeah, that’s what we’re working with now, ” said Form to the website. [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.”
The title character is a blonde flattopped wisecracking, cigar smoking anti-hero who is attempting to save the world from aliens. The game itself was an over-the-top take on the ’80s action movie genre.
