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 operating with the mere suggestion that Cena may seem within the Miyazaki-esque movie in growth at Sony.
To be as clear as doable, Cena is more than likely not teasing something right here. In case you scroll via his profile, he’s typically posting random pictures with no context (together with pictures from different video video games). His bio even says “These pictures might 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 in all probability put extra effort into no matter position he landed on this hypothetical scenario than they did. Fan options began rolling in after Cena’s put up and so they included some fairly impressed selections, like Skyward Sword’s himbo king Groose.
Having largely seen Cena in comedic roles, my thoughts most instantly goes to Zelda characters that may match his booming voice and huge stature, and relying on how the flicks deal with the mountain-inhabiting “rock individuals,” the Gorons, I may simply see Cena as somebody like Ocarina of Time’s Darunia.
One intelligent suggestion was that Cena, recognized 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 just capable of see through the use of the merchandise the Lens of Reality. A small position would in all probability be a waste of Cena’s abilities and cache, however the bit could be cute.
However then there’s the opportunity of him enjoying one of many leads. Perhaps it’s time for Hyperlink to undergo Twink Demise and be a burly man? He’s actually 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 transferring ahead. Truly, overlook the whole lot we simply mentioned: Let him be Tingle, essentially the most annoying character within the collection.
Whereas wanting via these options, 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.
