John Cena recently spoke with Extra TV where he discussed the rumors going around that he could be joining the “Fast & Furious” franchise.
These rumors actually started late last month thanks to Vin Diesel releasing a video on his official Instagram account where he talks about Pablo sending him “another soldier for the fight for truth.” Pablo is a name that he calls the late great Paul Walker, who unfortunately passed away in 2013 after crashing his car.
Diesel would then pan over to Cena standing next to him and doing his signature hand gesture. This sparked speculation as to what this video means and if it could be an indication of Cena starring in Fast & Furious 9.
Cena started out by stating that “I can’t confirm anything like that” when asked about it. This would lead to Cena talking about being focused on what’s next and his acting career.
The former WWE Champion added that he truly appreciates the endorsement of Diesel and if he had the opportunity to star in a film of the franchise then he would be extremely grateful for it and that the franchise will get his best.
Fast & Furious 9 is currently in pre-production with the expected release date to be May 22, 2020.
