John Cena’s latest big budget feature film “12 Rounds” hasn’t even hit theaters yet and the former WWE Champ is already looking ahead to his next projects. Cena and 12 Rounds director Renny Harlin (“Die Hard 2”, “The Cleaner”) are talking about a sequel. “It’s totally based on the consumer but if this does well, Renny and I look forward to doing 13 Rounds.”
While Cena and Harlin are good friends now, things weren’t always so good. “I think he was planning for the worst.” says Cena. “He thought he was going to be working with a walking broomstick. We laugh about it now, but he really didn’t know what he was going to get with me. He didn’t even know who I was.”
Meanwhile, Cena wants to work with Twentieth Century Fox on their upcoming remake of the movie, The Predator. “Just to be a part of that team would be awesome. I’d be happy playing Governor Ventura’s character – the gum-chewing gun-toting [Blain].”
While 13 Rounds and The Predator are wishful thinking for Cena, he does have another big role lined up. He told Movie Hole that he’s about to start a new “still classified” film in June/July.
