Watch out aliens! John Cena, the WWE wrestler turned Hollywood actor, is in talks to star in Duke Nukem, a film adaptation of the popular 90s video game franchise.
No details have been confirmed and at present no director is said to be attached to the film. However, Platinum Dunes, a production company helmed by Michael Bay (yes, the Michael Bay, who gave us the less than memorable Transformers series) is said to be producing the film.
The film will be distributed by Paramount Pictures and follows the titular protagonist, who is a combination of action-hero stereotypes, as he battles aliens threatening Earth.
Now, I’m not a fan of Michael Bay films, but I can see John Cena portraying Duke Nukem really well, given that the wrestling star possesses all the qualities of the stereotypical action hero. I just might be okay with this casting.
