The Champ is here, and he’s ready to burn some serious rubber.
As teased by franchise star Vin Diesel back in April, John Cena has officially joined the cast of “Fast & Furious 9,” reports Deadline.com.
Although not much is known about his character at this time, we can only assume that multiple attitudes will be adjusted, vehicles will be destroyed, and lives will be lived one quarter-mile at a time.
