Cena also said that he shot a movie with the well-known actor, though it wasn’t released.
John Cena appreciated Jackie Chan’s storytelling
Cena was part of a Q&A session at the Wales Comic-Con 2022. While answering questions from the fans, he appreciated Jackie Chan as one of the best physical storytellers of the generation.
He said, “I did a movie with Jackie Chan called Project X. I think it might be called snafu. I also think it might be called the movie you’ll never see, which is kind of meta because.. you know. I’m not sure I really hope the world gets to see it only because I got to be in an action comedy with one of the greatest physical storytellers of our generation. Jackie, I mean, it’s a shame the movie thing worked out for him. He would have been a great WWE superstar.”

Cena is himself breaking new ground in the world of acting and remains respectful of those who came before him.

‘The Cenation Leader’ also spoke highly of Dwayne Johnson and thanked him for his advice. He said the advice allowed him to thrive in Hollywood.
