John Cena to Star in Live-Action DUKE NUKEM Movie from Paramount

John Cena is in talks to star in Paramount’s Duke Nukem movie, a big-screen version of the long-running video game franchise.

The project is set up at Paramount-based Platinum Dunes, which is operated by Michael Bay, Andrew Form, and Brad Fuller. No director or writer is attached yet.

Duke Nukem first appeared in the 1991 eponymous video game, developed by Apogee Software, as a muscular cigar-chomping man who always wears Ray-Bans and sports a flat-top haircut as he fights aliens to save planet Earth by using enormous physical strength and his expertise in firearms. He’s appeared in 19 video games as the title character, most recently in Duke Nukem 3D: World Tour.

Platinum Dunes franchises include The Purge, Ouija, and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. It’s a producer on John Krasinski’s horror movie A Quiet Place, opening April 6.

Cena made his name as a WWE star before starting another career as a movie actor more than a decade ago with The Marine in 2006. His credits include 12 Rounds, Legendary, The Reunion, Trainwreck, Sisters, Daddy’s Home, Daddy’s Home 2, and The Wall, along with voicing the lead character in the animated comedy Ferdinand.

Cena is starring with Hailee Steinfeld in Paramount’s upcoming Transformers prequel Bumblebee: The Movie, with Bay producing.

Cena is going down the same road as The Rock. Good for him.

This could be good if it's written well but my gut tells me this won't be good.

A Duke Nukem film from SJW Hollywood could be the biggest tragedy to hit the planet since Duke Nukem Forever

I don’t think he’s really going to be in it. Ya know.. cause we can’t see him.


Okay.. I’ll see myself out.

Transformers prequel starring bumblebee??

Why? That sounds like a flop.

Should have an origins movie with the fights on their home planet

[Lights Out 101]

I doubt it will translate well to film, But we'll see.

<{monica}>

My thoughts exactly. They’re going to go out of their way to humiliate Duke. They’ll have some feminist chick character with a chip on her shoulder do the real work while Duke looks like a buffoon.

If this actually happens then it’s happening 25 years too late.
