John Cena reveals he was rejected for multiple superhero films

John Cena revealed that he was rejected for several superhero films before he had a chance to wow with the ‘Peacemaker’ character in ‘The Suicide Squad’.

During his talk on the Happy, Seed, Confused Podcast, the wrestler-turned-actor made it clear that he was ready for the Margot Ruby Starrer.

“I can’t tell you how many superhero roles I’ve been rejected for. Shazam is definitely one. Deadpool was a brief attempt at the universe, rejected,” he said. (Comic book reference)

“There was something in the Marvel universe that was rejected. But you know, I keep trying,” he added.

44-year-old actor Shazam! I also reflected on my inability to play the role, which was later played by Zachary Levy.
