John Cena and Eric Andre are ready to bro out.
Netflix is in early development on a comedy feature, “Little Brother,” with Cena and Andre set to star.
The film follows a famous real estate agent whose carefully curated world is upended when his eccentric “little brother” unexpectedly reappears.
Jarrad Paul and Andrew Mogel serve as the film’s writers, while David Bernad and Ruben Fleischer are producing.
Cena will embark on his farewell WWE tour in 2025. He’s next set to star in the live-action feature film “Matchbox” from Skydance, Mattel Films and Apple, and return in the second season of the Max original series “Peacemaker.”
As for when that hotly-anticipated sophomore season will debut, Cena remained tight-lipped about specifics in a September interview with Variety. “[DC bosses James Gunn and Peter Safran] actually both called me and said, ‘You know what, we want to take some time to do this right. But it’s just going to take a little time.’”
This year, Cena appeared in the films “Ricky Stanicky,” “Jackpot” and “Argylle.” Previous acting credits include “Blockers,” “Barbie,” “The Suicide Squad,” “Trainwreck,” “Vacation Friends” and the ninth and tenth “Fast and Furious” installments.
Andre is known as the creator and host of “The Eric Andre Show,” which ran for over a decade on Adult Swim and earned him a 2024 Emmy for outstanding performer in a short form comedy or drama series. Other credits include “Man Seeking Woman,” “Bad Trip,” “Disenchantment” and Disney’s live-action “The Lion King.” He’s next set to appear in Peter Farrelly’s “Balls Up” alongside Mark Wahlberg and Paul Walter Hauser.
Cena is represented by WME, Intenta Management, and Johnson, Shapiro, Slewett & Kole. Andre is repped by Rise Management, United Talent Agency and Ziffren Brittenham.
