(L to R) John Cena and Jason Momoa to star in action-comedy ‘Killer Vacation.’
What, precisely, would a trip that includes John Cena and Jason Momoa seem like? Chances are it will contain weight machines, tanning oil and no little quantity of browsing (Momoa loves it and Cena… performed a wave-riding penguin in ‘Surf’s Up 2: WaveMania’?)
But for a brand new action-comedy known as ‘Killer Vacation’, there could be extra likelihood of bullets flying and vehicles blowing up (or perhaps dolphins with rocket launchers if it’s a tropical journey).
The precise plot particulars, although, are a thriller (we’re keen to entertain money presents in the event that they need to add dolphins with rocket launchers), however what is thought, per Variety’s story is that Warner Bros. is backing the film and has recruited Cena and Momoa to star.
And they’ve reportedly been seeking to work on one thing collectively after apparently having enjoyable within the new ‘Fast & Furious’ film, which has been busy capturing. Cena will return as Jakob Toretto, the brother of Vin Diesel’s Dom.
Momoa, in the meantime, is taking part in a villain that he’s described as “a peacock at the highest level and I’m having the time of my life.”
As for ‘Killer Vacation’, the script comes from Brian and Mark Gunn, who wrote ‘Brightburn’, and the story’s tone is being described as a enjoyable, splashy journey within the vein of ‘True Lies’.
The surname of the writers ought to ring some bells––Brian is James Gunn’s brother, and Mark is his cousin. There’s one other connection, too, as one of many producers of ‘Killer Vacation’ is Peter Safran, who has simply taken over DC Studios in partnership with Gunn (although this movie was put collectively some time earlier than that deal was locked down).
Both actors even have hyperlinks to Gunn, both by Safran, or straight.
(L to R) David Dastmalchian, John Cena, Idris Elba and Daniela Melchior in ‘The Suicide Squad.’
Cena was one of many stars of ‘The Suicide Squad’, which Gunn wrote and directed (and Safran produced), after which Gunn created profitable TV spin-off ‘Peacemaker’ for him.
Momoa is, at the very least for now, a key part within the DC universe––he performs Aquaman and has sequel film (produced, like the unique, by Safran) ‘Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom’ on the best way on Christmas Day. You’ll have to attend, although: it’s Christmas Day 2023, so greater than a yr to attend.
No director is hooked up to ‘Killer Vacation’ but, and all of the discuss of this team-up makes us surprise what is occurring with the buddy cop action-comedy that Momoa and Dave Bautista have been planning.
Born from a tweet by Bautista (see under), the mission has a script from Jonathan Tropper and has since been picked up by MGM, however with that firm’s absorption into Amazon, there was little ahead motion since then.
