Duke Nukem Movie Adaptation Possibly Starring John Cena is in Pre-Production

In June 2017, Randy Pitchford of Gearbox Software stated that a Duke Nukem film as long in the making as Uncharted’s film debut is very close to entering production. Suddenly, there is a lot of positive news to be heard about Duke Nukem’s movie adaptation as Paramount Pictures has bought the movie rights directly from Gearbox Software, while Michael Bay’s Platinum Dunes is set to produce. John Cena is reportedly in talks to star as Duke Nukem; personally I could envision The Rock or Arnold Schwarzenegger performing in the lead role, although John Cena may be able to pull it off too.

There is no word on a completed script or further casting, but I feel it would be appropriate for the storyline to centre on or at least follow a core concept of Duke Nukem: Land of the Babes from the third PlayStation 1 game to empower the women in the film by having them assist Duke Nukem in battling against the hostile alien invasion.
