While it appears John Cena’s in-ring career with WWE is beginning to wind down (sh*t, just by saying that I probably just cursed us with six more years of strong booking, sorry everybody), the guy has never been busier outside of the squared circle. He’s getting ready to host the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards for the second straight year; he just officiated a wedding on live TV; he even filmed an episode of Carpool Karaoke with Shaq(!).
Cena’s movie career is heating up, too. He’s set to make a buddy-cop movie with Kumail Nanjiani, and he’ll be in one of the lead roles in the upcoming Transformers spin-off flick Bumblebee, plus he’s rumored to star in everything from DC Comics superhero film Shazam! to playing the title character in the film adaptation of the video game Duke Nukem. In short: Dude’s busy!
Cena’s current project, though, is Blockers, an R-rated comedy about three teens set out to lose their virginities on prom night and the parents who are hell-bent on stopping them. Cena plays one of those parents, alongside Knocked Up‘s Leslie Mann and Suicide Squad‘s Ike Barinholtz.
Our first look at Blockers came last October, with Cena rocking a crew cut and cargo shorts (really pushing himself outside of his comfort zone here). This new trailer features a bit more than we’ve seen before, including a scene in which Mr. Hustle, Loyalty And Respect shoves someone’s underwear into his mouth:
Big Thong John, at your service!
Blockers will be released March 30 in the U.K. and April 6 in America – just two days before WrestleMania 34. Buy those tickets now.
