Behold: theFast and Furiouscast posting with a delicious looking cake. While this image has primarily familiar franchise faces, it also includes John Cena, the latest addition to the ever-growing line-up. Cena is there to take the place of another wrestler-turned-actor – Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who has his ownFast and Furiousspin-off,Hobbs and Shaw, on the horizon. Johnson and Diesel also don’t really get along, so the Rock’s days in the main franchise are likely over.
There’s no word on Cena’s character yet. “I’m super excited,” Cenasaidwhen word of his casting was announced. “I have to say thank you to Vin Diesel for kind of orchestrating all this. He put a message on his Instagram a little while ago … We were able to meet and it was amazing, and I totally understand how big this opportunity is, and all I can do is do my best.”
