Several notable WWE wrestlers have appeared in films and series. Dwyane “The Rock” Johnson and John Cena are among the famous to have succeeded in Hollywood. However, there was a canceled movie starring John Cena with Jackie Chan that never saw the light of day! A special move taught by Jackie Chan was used by John Cena on Jimmy Fallon to knock down the host!

In a hilarious video shared on Youtube, the legendary wrestler is seen in The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. With great excitement, the half-fighter, half-actor is seen sharing the news of him and the legendary Jackie Chan starring together in a movie.

Jimmy Fallon (being Jimmy) asks if he learned any moves from the 68-year-old actor to which John Cena had an appropriate response.
The move appears to be John Cena’s favorite, as the oblivious Jimmy Fallon is proof of. The wrestler is seen saying haunting things like “not moving” and “I have the power of lightning” to an already scared Jimmy Fallon. The video ends with John Cena residing on a knocked out Jimmy Fallon. Although it was all for comedic purposes, only people couldn’t help but admire the duo’s humor and ingenuity.
So what happened to Snafu if he had such killer moves?
The killer moves and a legendary cast can’t save a movie that pops up. Although it was a hyped film, the film began to experience problems due to the growing tensions between the United States and China. After cameras stopped rolling in 2019, the film sat on shelves in hopes of a distributor picking it up. John Cena, while promoting F9 in China in 2021, also lent himself to controversy when he called Taiwan a separate country (which is a big no-no from China).
Since then, there has been no news regarding the film’s release. The duo of Jackie Chan and John Cena were very excited to be part of the film, but it seems the two have been silent for a while. Recent rumors suggest that the film could potentially be released this year, i.e. 2022, but nothing has been confirmed yet. John Cena was recently seen in James Gunn The Suicide Squad (2021) as the Peacemaker followed by a spin-off of the character, with him in the lead role.
Peacemaker is available to stream on HBO Max.
