John Cena might be not teasing a task within the upcoming Legend of Zelda live-action movie. However after the wrestler-turned-actor posted a no-context picture of Hyperlink from the unique 1986 NES recreation on his Instagram, followers instantly began working with the mere suggestion that Cena might seem within the Miyazaki-esque movie in growth at Sony.
To be as clear as potential, Cena is probably not teasing something right here. For those who scroll by his profile, he’s typically posting random photographs with no context (together with photographs from different video video games). His bio even says “These photographs will likely be posted with out clarification, to your interpretation.” But when you consider it, Cena finally being a part of a Nintendo film isn’t that far-fetched. The Tremendous Mario Bros. Film exhibits that the corporate is greater than keen to depend on well-known Hollywood A-listers like Chris Pratt and Seth Rogen. Cena, on the very least, would most likely put extra effort into no matter function he landed on this hypothetical state of affairs than they did. Fan strategies began rolling in after Cena’s publish they usually included some fairly impressed selections, like Skyward Sword’s himbo king Groose.
Having principally seen Cena in comedic roles, my thoughts most instantly goes to Zelda characters that will match his booming voice and enormous stature, and relying on how the flicks deal with the mountain-inhabiting “rock folks,” the Gorons, I might simply see Cena as somebody like Ocarina of Time’s Darunia.
One intelligent suggestion was that Cena, identified for his catchphrase “you’ll be able to’t see me,” ought to play Shiro, an invisible soldier from Majora’s Masks, who Hyperlink is barely capable of see through the use of the merchandise the Lens of Fact. A small function would most likely be a waste of Cena’s abilities and cache, however the bit can be cute.
However then there’s the potential for him enjoying one of many leads. Perhaps it’s time for Hyperlink to undergo Twink Demise and be a burly man? He’s definitely imposing sufficient to be Ganondorf, however I doubt Nintendo or Sony would desire a whitewashing controversy proper out the gate on one thing it’d hope to see develop into an enormous film franchise shifting ahead. Truly, overlook all the pieces we simply stated: Let him be Tingle, essentially the most annoying character within the collection.
Whereas wanting by these strategies, I went again and checked out Kotaku’s fan casting for the film, and Idris Elba as Ganondorf was such a great choose. Shoutout to Ashley, she was cooking.
