WWE star John Cena once blasted The Rock for "selling out" and becoming a movie star - which led to two "once in a lifetime" matches at WrestleMania - but Cena's starting to follow in The Great One's footsteps. After making appearances in three major Hollywood productions in 2015, most notably Amy Schumer's Trainwreck, Cena is starring in an Amazon Studios movie called The Wall, which is set to release in March. It looks amazing.

Cena co-stars alongside Aaron Taylor-Johnson, and plays an American soldier who is pinned down by an Iraqi sniper. WWE recently announced that Cena is also set to star in The Pact, a comedy that will be co-produced by Seth Rogen.
