According to a report from THR when the project was first announced in 2018, the latest offering from Need for Speed and Act of Valor director Scott Waugh will center on the partnership formed by a Chinese private security contractor (Chan) and a former United States Marine (Cena) when they are sent to a Chinese-owned refinery in the Middle East to rescue workers and prevent the theft of the valuable oil.
Not only will John Cena make his Fast and Furious and DC debut in the coming year, the star of movies like Bumblebee and Playing with Fire is also teaming up with martial arts and action legend Jackie Chan in the much-anticipated Project X-Traction.
