Netflix Teams John Cena & Top Comedy Star Up for New Action Movie
Fast X star John Cena and Central Intelligence star Kevin Hart have signed on to star in Netflix's newest action comedy The Leading Man. The project was pitched by writers Jon and Erich Hoeber, who previously sold their screenplay of Fast & Loose to the streamer. According to Deadline, the movie is still currently in the early stages of development. It will be based on the comic book series created by Jeremy Haun and B. Clay Moore. In addition to leading the project, Hart and Cena are also serving as producers alongside Luke Kelly-Clyne, Bryan Smiley, Joe Roth, Jeff Kirschenbaum, Eric Gitter, Peter Schwerin, and Dan Baime. This will be part of Hart's multi-film deal with Netflix. What is the new John Cena and Kevin Hart movie about? 'When a self-absorbed movie star (Cena) discovers that his co-star/man in the chair (Hart) is an actual agent, he's forced to swallow his pride and accept that action stars aren't really action heroes…while trying to save the world,' reads the movie's synopsis. The Leading Man marks Netflix's latest collaboration with both Cena and Hart. Prior to signing on to the action movie, Cena is already attached to star in the streamer's upcoming comedy movie Little Brother, with Emmy-winning comedian Eric André. As for Hart, after starring in last year's heist movie Lift, he will next be seen in another Netflix comedy titled, 72 Hours, with Saturday Night Live cast member Marcello Hernández. At the moment, Cena is currently preparing for the impending premiere of Peacemaker Season 2, which will see him reprising his fan-favorite DC role. The show will return on August 21, 2025 on HBO Max. The former WWE star will also be leading Mattel's live-action Matchbox movie with Jessica Biel.
