Eh in fairness, John Cena needed to get his acting chops up, all the roles he lost out to were to experienced actors.

Hell it took the Rock a few years before he found his footing.

There's plenty of future roles for him in the MCU at least.

He'd make a really good Juggernaut or Hercules.


Stop.

Cena only has one shot at a marvel role.
Which is solo and he probably will never be considered because he played peacemaker.
Plus he does not fit the face model.
of any major marvel character as well.
Plus he is john cena.
Which makes it even more difficult to cast him just for starters.

Hes really good as Peacemaker


In suicide squad.
Peacemaker has scenes.
that are basically a horror movie. That i see why vkm was hesitant to make him a heel again.

When he ealks by and stabs duke on the medical table. I remembered why i rooted him on from reality island tv to fcw. Then i remembered how evil he could be and how hard it is.
to walk it back with him.
when he was a heel too.

If you think of that from a kid perspective.
Plus vkm is not brilliant enough to figure out how to make a heel. As he only made one inhouse heel worth a damn in the rock. Which came from vkm.
not knowing wtf to do with the rock.
In the first place in the nineties of decades too.

So i can understand. Especially with how he ruined everything from the boom till now.

It just made more sense for vkm and his dimwitted self to just keep cena face. Then sell limitrd edition cena nwo toys.
to people who wanted an alternative.
While never knowing how to actually work a cena heel turn.

Nah man he doesn’t even need to stick around as a major character, maybe he just provides a voice or something
Here's the thing..if he fits, let's roll with that but there's alot of intriguing types that are MIA from this stuff. Tom Cruise hasn't popped up yet...lol. What if they could talk Chris Tucker into doing something? He bleeds charisma...

I could have seen cable , might have preferred it actually. Brolin wasn't all that in the role . But Shazam? No way. His face is too hard to be a happy go lucky superhero
Eh, I think Cena would've been fine as Cable but the role would've also been a waste of his comedic skill.

Cena is not able to be cable in the long run of the character.
As the cable character eventually to be successful. Is gon a have to be emotionally adept as an actor. To hopefully tackle cable on screen interacting with cyke.

Cena does not have the classically trained acting ability.
to be tasked with that.
A studio would be idiotic to even consider.
Especially since comic book movie properties.
generate a potential profit that could be worth billions.
