Cena and The Rock recently delivered well-received superhero films, The Suicide Squad and Black Adam, respectively.
The first films starring John Cena and The Rock in lead roles were both commercially unsuccessful
The Rock did not become a household name overnight; it took years of hard labor. Cena, like Johnson, had a tough time breaking into Hollywood, but his path has seemingly not been as arduous.
Cena's first movie as a lead actor, The Marine, wasn't a tremendous success. His former on-screen rival, The Rock, had a similar experience with The Scorpion King.
Regardless of the box office numbers, both stars have always given their absolute best performances. Fans must wait and see what's next for these icons in the world of movies and inside the squared circle.
