No wonder anymore: Mass Effect is getting its own series thanks to Amazon. And rumors are already circulating about the potential actor who would play Commander Shepard.
The series Mass effect from Amazon is slowly progressing and fans are wondering who will play the legendary Commander Shepard. A rumor points to a surprising possibility: a bona fide star that no one saw coming. Of course, all of this should be viewed with caution, it is just speculation at the moment. But why not?
An unlikely star in Mass Effect?
Latest Rumor: Wrestling star-turned-actor John Cena could be in the running for the lead role. This possibility gained traction after Cena posted a picture of Mass effect on his Instagram account, which is followed by more than 20 million people. This gesture quickly got the community excited, wondering if the actor might have some connection to the upcoming series.
Why should this choice be logical? First, Cena and the show’s writer, Daniel Casey (writer of Fast & Furious 9), have already worked together. Cena plays the main villain in Fast 9 and their good understanding could pave the way for a collaboration on Mass Effect. Also, funny coincidence: Shepard and Cena have the same first name, John. Enough to give rise to speculation.
The divided fans imagine Cena either as the imposing Shepard or in another role, such as Wrex, the krogan with a massive frame and a hoarse voice. Others speculate that he may have no connection to the project and that his contribution may have just been a nod to a game he enjoys. The timing of this release is interesting, however.
The series adaptation of Mass Effect is highly anticipated. Known for its moral choices, unforgettable characters, and deep story, the universe has a discerning fan base. Whether it’s John Cena or another actor, Shepard’s casting will be crucial. For now, Amazon is keeping the secret and keeping fans waiting and excited to find out who will take the helm of this galaxy of series.
