John Cena and Eric Andre Set to Star in the Comedy Film LITTLE BROTHER for Netflix
John Cena (The Suicide Squad, Peacemaker) and Eric Andre (Trolls Band Together, The Eric Andre Show) are set to star in a new comedy film for Netflix titled Little Brother.
The film follows “a famous real estate agent whose carefully curated world is upended when his eccentric ‘little brother’ unexpectedly reappears.”
Bela Bajaria, Netflix’s Chief Content Officer said in a statement: “We are really looking forward to doing documentaries and taking some of [WWE’s] great history and characters and doing that on the unscripted and scripted side.
“Again, we have so many great stars that come from WWE that we’ve had a great relationship with on the TV and movie side. We are about to do a new movie with our very own John Cena.
“It’s a really great comedy called Little Brother [starring Cena] and Eric Andre together, and we’re super excited about that.”
WWE’s Chief Content Officer Paul ‘Triple H’ Levesque added: “When we first met with you and your team Bela, you were open to the ideas and thoughts and concepts that are so outside the box.
“What WWE brings to the table is this platform that is willing to go in any direction, which is an amazing opportunity for us to say, where do we want to go with this person? This is not just with the stars of WWE but also with the celebrities that come to watch what we do.”
The project comes from screenwriters Jarrad Paul and Andrew Mogel.
