John Cena plays “Dirty Captain America”

Jumping from the rope to the What’s On website, we introduce: men, legends, John Cena…

We see you John Cena, you star-studded in your decades of wrestling career, you and you dabbled in the action movie genre countless times (recently, as part of the Fast and Furious series “Family”), your bodybuilding, show, Even your casual flirting with rap games… We see you John Cena, we understand why for many people, you are a real-life superhero.

It is appropriate that his performance (in his thirties) is as a peacemaker, a big-screen (arguably anti-)hero, which is about to be released in James Gunn Suicide squad. The film is scheduled to be released in the UAE on August 5th. It is not so much a restart in 2016, but a sequel. Suicide squad -Judging from the trailer, this movie may be the movie that put DC box office records back on track.

The Peacemaker (or “a stupid Captain America” ​​as Gunn said to Senna) will not be a “one-and-for-all” miracle, and HBO has already started producing spin-off series of Senna’s character. To John now, the future looks very good, but how does he feel about it…?

Latest news: Did you read comic books when you were a kid, and if so, do you have a favorite superhero growing up?

John Cena: No, I have very little experience in comics. If anything, I think, as a child, I have something to do with non-fiction heroes in real life.

WO: What makes this project particularly attractive to you?

JC: James Gunn, 100%. I admire him. I admire his work and his ability to tell stories.I am totally impressed by what he did guardian The universe makes a group of unknown people not only known, but also loved. Before we start, I must meet him and understand his storytelling process better. I don’t care if he is making a superhero movie, or a period movie, a comedy, or a war movie.He will tell you Suicide Squad Probably all three.

WO: Can you talk about the environment he created on the set? I have heard words such as “family” and “friends I will always have.” How does it feel for you to work for this movie?

JC: I think everyone’s perspective is different. We are in the film business, which is a collaborative and creative endeavour, and we can do our best to make the best creative works. Among other things, James is the most prepared, dedicated, loyal, and persistent person I have the opportunity to work with. He talks about people who are as dedicated to crafts as him in a very, very small conversation. I want to work with those people because they will do their best. Regardless of success or failure, they will not leave anything on the desktop. I prefer to participate in a project, especially the project we are trying to do for the business, to be with those who are willing to put their hearts on the table, rather than to make a group of friends; making friends is auxiliary and wonderful. But what you described is actually correct. James was attracted by these ensemble works. During the 90-day or 100-day shooting, you gather many people together day after day. It’s like a live tour, this is what my experience in WWE gave me. People become your family. This is a by-product, but most importantly, he invested his entire self and cast accordingly. I think he organized a great team. This is also reflected in his skill set, he has the ability to shape outstanding performers.

WO: Until then, how does it feel to work with such a diverse ensemble?

JC: I will speak on behalf of James, but I don’t think it was intentional. I think he is just looking for people who can help him realize his vision. This is a difficult question to answer, because once again, perspective is everything. I just think these things should be a kind of giving, not a luxury.

WO: I think this is a movie at the right time. Are you excited about people being able to experience this movie in a public theater environment that they have been missing?

JC: Well, I think everyone will get something different from it. If you really like the immersive experience of movies, then go to IMAX. It is designed for this. In addition, it has many twists and turns. This is actually a journey in James Gunn’s crazy, morbid, awesome, emotional mind. It is unfiltered. There is no real way to describe it and get people ready for it. I have no real way to tell people what they will get out of it. How amazing and crazy it is.

WO: How did you prepare for this role? Have you studied the comic book classics of your characters?

JC: certainly. However, all this was thrown out the window. When I found out what I was going to do, I went a little deeper into the myth. Based on the facts I got and the script I read, I crafted what I think is the best version of this person. As for physical training, I will not change anything. What you have is what you get. I will never stop training, but I will not provide training for a character. If anything, the role makes training harder because the days are longer and there is more to do. I train less when shooting. But James gave up all preparations in the first scene of the first day. I very much think that the peacemaker is a collection of things that he did not become in the end. I have full confidence and trust in any director I work with, but the most certain is James, because he is indeed involved in every point of the whole process. Writing, directing, creation, editing, production. He was like, “No, I don’t want you to do this. I just want you to be a dirty Captain America.” Right there, as soon as he said this, I was like, “Oh, okay. I get It.” So all the preparations?There is a good offer, I think it is [General] Button. I explained it this way, but: “Before the first shot is fired, every battle plan is great.” Here, I am ready and trying to prove myself. I am trying to learn and grow as an actor. He threw everything out the window and told me to go in the other direction. I did it.

WO: What do you want the audience to gain from watching this movie?

JC: I know that people will encourage people to return to the cinema. I know. I know we will campaign, and we will be as loud and proud as possible. But when people watch this movie in the theater, the news will spread quickly, you need to go to the movie theater to watch this movie. Like I said, I won’t say what people will get out of it. It exists so that people will do whatever they want. This will be one of the things they do when they walk out of the theater. They may not know how to think about themselves or what they have just seen, but encourage their friends and family and people close to them, or people on social media, to go to the cinema. ,Let’s see. It will really be a summer experience, a movie experience, and when we desperately need it.

WO: One last question: As a peacemaker, you and Rick Flagg (played by Joel Kinnaman) have a very unforgettable battle scene. Compared to your past experience in WWE, how does this battle look like?

JC: Well, my experience working with Joel has been great. He is great, and the whole actor is great. I learn from everyone who works with me every day. Joel taught me a lot on the set. From now on, I will carry these things with me in every project, like Idris, Margot, Steve Aggie, Daniela and everyone else. Same. I learn from everyone every day.

WO: Thank you again for taking the time.

JC: That’s great, thank you.
