John Cena is reportedly in negotiations for the role of Duke Nukem in an adaptation of the classic videogame in the works at Michael Bay's Platinum Dunes.
The 40-year-old star of The Marine already has a Bay connection, as he's set to star in upcoming Transformers prequel Bumblebee: The Movie.
Cena being in talks for the role was first reported on by The Hollywood Reporter and Variety.

Over a dozen sequels or spin-offs have been released.
In addition to his wrestling career and action movies, Cena has appeared in comedies such as Trainwreck and Daddy's Home, along with the animated film Ferdinand.
