Before pursuing acting as a career, John Felix Anthony Cena received global stardom as a professional wrestler in the WWE. Considered one of the greatest of all time to step into the arena, John made his acting debut under the banner of WWE Studios in 2006, starring in the film ‘The Marine.’ Following numerous appearances across small and big screens, John established himself as a bankable star. His cheerful and kind-hearted nature, along with his WWE roots, made him the perfect candidate for the action-comedy genre. In addition to movies such as ‘Bumblebee,’ ‘Jackpot!’ and ‘Heads of State’ under his belt, John has notably been part of the ‘Fast & Furious‘ franchise, as well as the DC Universe, embodying the role of the anti-hero, Peacemaker. If you are looking forward to diving into projects featuring John Cena on Netflix, the following list is sure to help.
3. Trainwreck (2015)
Directed by Judd Apatow, ‘Trainwreck’ shows what happens when men’s magazine columnist Amy Townsend, a pro-polygamy woman, falls for sports doctor Aaron Conners. Amy has built her life on the legos of promiscuity, which the innocent arms of love threaten to unmake. She believes her relationship with Aaron won’t work out despite knowing she loves him. Can Aaron change her mind? Or is it too late already? ‘Trainwreck’ stars Amy Schumer as Amy Townsend and Bill Hader as Aaron Conners and is a thoroughly entertaining chick flick. Cena plays Steven, one of Amy’s dates and a gym addict. You can enjoy the Critics’ Choice Award-winning drama right here.
2. Little Brother (2026)
Matt Spicer’s ‘Little Brother’ is a comedy drama that follows top-shot real estate agent Rudd Landy (Cena) whose urge to succeed and move out of his condescending billionaire brother, Josh, takes an unexpected turn when his “little brother” Marcus Pinchel (Eric André) knocks on his door. Marcus and Rudd go back to when Rudd participated in a high school mentorship program called Big Brother. As the plot proceeds, Marcus inadvertently steals the show from Rudd and even bonds with the latter’s family in a way he never could. The story culminates in the message that it is more important to acknowledge those who care about us than to chase after pleasing those who may not even care. While ‘Little Brother’ carries an age-old plot, Cena and André keep the movie alive with their screen presence. You can stream the comedy here.
1. Hidden Strike (2023)
Helmed by Scott Waugh, ‘Hidden Strike’ stars John Cena and Jackie Chan as two former soldiers, Chris Van Horne and Luo Fen, respectively.
