As you may have heard, one of The Rock’s several upcoming movies is the international espionage comedy Central Intelligence, co-starring Kevin Hart and Ed Helms. Uh, not to be confused with his international espionage thriller The Janson Directive, or the half a dozen international espionage car movies he’ll make with Justin Lin.

Our goal is to make a movie that’s big, epic and so funny you’ll slap the sh*t outta somebody. Excited to team up with my brotha in grind @kevinhart4real His hustle is incredible and his talent is off the charts. Shooting starts in March. Can’t wait to make this movie for you guys… #TheyCallHimTheGoldenJet #AndTheyCallMeBob #WeCouldPassAsTwins #ThisShitsGonnaBeBananas #CentralIntelligence”

Can we just blame this on Kevin Hart? That guy loves ruining wrestling for people.
