According to Deadline.com, WWE star John Cena will co-star in “Daddy’s Home 2,” the sequel to the 2015 movie “Daddy’s Home”, starring Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg. Cena appeared in a cameo at the end of the first film, and the Deadline report notes he will play a prominent role in the sequel.
The comedy also stars Will Ferrell, Mark Wahlberg, Mel Gibson and John Lithgow. According to the Deadline report, the movie synopsis is as follows:
“Father and stepfather, Dusty (Wahlberg) and Brad (Ferrell), who are now working together to give their kids a perfect Christmas. When Dusty’s Dad (Gibson) and Brad’s Dad (Lithgow) arrive, their blended family conflicts rise to the surface. Cena’s character shifts the macho dynamics as Dusty faces the challenges of being a stepfather in the face of a more ripped rival.”
Despite being critically panned, “Daddy’s Home” was a big hit at the box office, earning over $150 million in the U.S. on a $50 million budget. No word yet on when “Daddy’s Home 2” will begin filming but Cena is also scheduled to take time off WWE to shoot the movie “The Pact”.
