John Cena implied while speaking with ET in Miami on Friday that he is not the villain of the Fast & Furious 9 film that he will star in.
“We’ll leave it for the audience, we’ll leave it for the Fast family around the world to decide who’s bad and who’s good,” Cena said. “Keep in mind, the trailer shows just enough for you to have a ton of questions — and me not to be able to answer any of them!”
Cena also explained why he thinks so many WWE wrestlers feel at home in the Fast film franchise. The Rock, Ronda Rousey, and Roman Reigns have all appeared in past installments of the franchise. Reigns appeared in the spin-off film, Hobbs & Shaw.
“There’s a certain passion for WWE. Whenever new performers come in, we always size them up and question their passion,” Cena explained. “The Fast legacy and the family is the same way. They’re very meticulous with their choices, because you need to be passionate [and] you need to know the responsibility to fans across the world.”
“So I think it’s a perfect fit for WWE Superstars to join the Fast family,” he said. “And vice versa! I think a lot of members of the Fast family would make great WWE Superstars!”
