John Cena is one of the biggest celebrities in the world who has made his way from the wrestling ring to Hollywood movies. After making his debut in the entertainment industry with WWE, Cena has risen to success and is now an amazing actor. He has been a part of big movie franchises, but there was a time when he could not land the role in Ryan Reynolds starrer Deadpool 2, as he was rejected by the Marvel Studios. Read on ahead to find out what actually happened.
Cena might not have got the role of a Marvel character but is now seen as a DC character of Peacemaker. In the past, he was also rejected for Shazam as he was in discussion with the makers for a role in the movie.
