Earlier, the two went head-to-head with each other in WrestleMania

Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson and John Cena are pairing up once again but this time, it will be for the bigger picture - literally. According to CBSS Sports, the WWE legends are getting together to create some Hollywood magic.

Johnson announced that Cena has landed a major role in the upcoming film The Janson Directive - a project that the former's production house, Seven Bucks, is working on.

Earlier, Variety reported that Johnson would be taking the lead role. However, due to his busy schedule, all parties involved thought of moving him to a producer's role.

Cena has been making it big in Hollywood with roles in films such as Trainwreck and Blockers. According to the entertainment outlet, the wrestler will play a former spy. "The novel follows a former consular ops agent who, after leaving covert operations due to the high number of sanctioned serial killings, goes into business as private security consultant. Teamed with a sharpshooter, Janson only takes assignments that he believes will lead to helping those in need."

Johnson and Cena went against each other in WrestleMania as a part of a feud that, ironically enough, was centered around the latter taking shots at The Rock for leaving WWE and venturing into Hollywood.
