17-time WWE World Champion
John Cena wants to explore the horror genre for his next Hollywood role. While 2025 is his final year as an active WWE competitor, and he is currently busy preparing for his last matches, John Cena is equally expanding his presence in Hollywood, too.
During a recent appearance at the Philadelphia Fan Expo, Cena took part in a fan Q&A where he discussed a range of topics, from his WWE legacy to future acting ambitions. A highlight of the event was when he disclosed his desire to appear in a horror film, be it as a fearsome antagonist or a hapless casualty.
Cena said, 'My answer to that is yes, because I've never been in a horror film. So I would just want to be in a horror film. If you're out there and you're doing it, I'm available.'
Over the years, John Cena has cemented his legacy as one of the finest actors in the Hollywood industry. His
filmography
includes action hits like The Suicide Squad, comedies like Blockers, and family fare such as Ricky Stanicky, has proven himself to be a versatile actor.
Now, it appears he's ready to step into darker territory, and Hollywood may just take him up on the offer.
