John Cena has been confirmed to be returning for Daddy’s Home 2, the sequel to the 2015 movie starring Will Ferrell and Mark Wahlberg. Deadline broke the news of Cena’s return. The WWE legend appeared in a very short cameo at the end of the first movie and that character will be featured prominently in the sequel, which kicks off filming later this year.
Mel Gibson, John Lithgow, Linda Cardellini, Owen Vaccaro and Scarlett Estevez are amongst the cast of the Paramount Pictures sequel, which sees a father and stepfather, Dusty (Wahlberg) and Brad (Ferrell), who are now working together to give their kids a perfect Christmas. When Dusty’s Dad (Gibson) and Brad’s Dad (Lithgow) arrive, their blended family conflicts rise to the surface. According to the trade blog, Cena’s character shifts the macho dynamics as Dusty faces the challenges of being a stepfather in the face of a more ripped rival.
We’re guessing that this one will be heading for a similar festive slot as the first movie, which managed to gross an impressive $240 million worldwide.
