John Cena has established a stronghold in Hollywood, especially after finding success in his role as the titular character ‘Peacekeeper’. He also propelled his stock for his role by being a part of the Fast & Furious franchise. And now it seems like he is headed towards adding another hit to his filmography with his upcoming movie, Argylle.

But what prompted him to feature on the project that also contains the likes of Henry Cavill and pop sensation Dua Lipa? The answer to this question lies in his recent appearance on a talk show. So let’s find out.

Cena reveals the motivation behind joining the Argylle family

The 46-year-old recently appeared on BBC ONE’s program, The One Show, alongside the director of Argylle, Matthew Vaughn. The duo appeared on the show to promote their upcoming movie. While discussing the film, Cena revealed what prompted him to be a part of the project in the first place. Was it the money? No, it was his love for the previous works of Vaughn. Cena talked highly about the director of the film, Michael Vaughn, “I’m violating a restraining order; I’m supposed to stay 50 feet apart. I chased him down, and I really just wanted to be a part of his work. Kingsmen struck me so deeply; literally, the quote of “A gentleman is a modern-day knight and the suit is his armor”—he’s the reason you see me in my uniform. This is where I feel most comfortable, and it’s because of him.”

He further added, “So when I found out he was doing ‘Árgylle’ and I wanted to be a part, he actually tried to pitch me; he’s like, “We’ll have this thing…it’s kinda this, but it might become,” and I was like, ‘Stop, I’m in, let’s go to work’. So I’m really so happy to be a part of the ‘Argylle family, and man, do we have a great movie to show. “

‘Árgylle’ boasts an ensemble cast that includes not only John Cena but also Henry Cavill, Bryce Dallas Howard, Sam Rockwell, Bryan Cranston, Catherine O’Hara, Dua Lipa, Ariana DeBose, and Samuel L. Jackson. Talk about having a star-studded cast, right? The film promises a thrilling experience to view on the big screens in the United States on February 2, 2024.
