Zac Efron, Andrew Santino, and Jermaine Fowler star as two BFFs who’ve been using a fake friend Ricky Stanicky as an alibi for their immature behavior for 20 years—until their spouses and partners get suspicious and ask to finally meet him.

“The guilty trio decide to hire washed-up actor and raunchy celebrity impersonator “Rock Hard” Rod (John Cena) to bring him to life. But when Rod takes his role of a lifetime too far, they begin to wish they’d never invented Ricky in the first place,” reads the film’s official synopsis.

Ricky Stanicky hails from the Oscar-winning Green Book filmmaker Peter Farrelly, who co-wrote the script that went through many hands after originally landing on the Black List back in 2010. This buddy comedy will also star William H. Macy, Lex Scott Davis, and Anja Savcic, and it’s expected to premiere on Amazon Prime Video on March 7.

Vacation Friends 2 picks up a few months where the first movie left off, and it sees newly married couple Marcus (Howery) and Emily (Yvonne Orji) inviting their besties Ron (Cena) and Kyla (Meredith Hagner) to join them on an all-expenses-paid trip to a Caribbean resort.

The trouble starts when Kyla’s father Reese (Steve Buscemi) is released from prison and unexpectedly shows up at the resort at the worst possible moment. Marcus’ best-laid plans to score a construction contract with the resort’s owners quickly go awry, as their perfect vacation turns into total chaos.

Carlos Santos, Ronny Chieng, and Jamie Hector also star in the sequel of the 2021 buddy comedy, which was initially released on Hulu. Despite being met with mixed reviews, Vacation Friends was successful enough to grant a sequel, and Clay Tarver agreed to return as a director.

Vacation Friends 2 will debut on Hulu on August 25, and it will be available on Star+ in Latin America and Disney+ in all other territories.

Peacemaker serves as a spin-off for Gunn’s hit film The Suicide Squad and centers on one of its fan-favorite characters. Both Cena and the series creator James Gunn confirmed the show’s renewal on social media.

Sarah Aubrey, head of original content at HBO Max, praised James Gunn for proving his brilliance with Peacemaker and making the first original DC show a huge success. “He took this character, brought to life by the inimitable John Cena, and created an exceptional series that’s simultaneously thrilling, hilarious, and heartfelt, showcasing the humanity beneath this team of misfits living in a superhuman world,” said Aubrey in a statement.

Peacemaker premiered on HBO Max on January 13th, and the first season saw Peacemaker join forces with black ops squad Project Butterfly to target parasitic, butterfly-like aliens together. In addition to Cena, the first season also starred Danielle Brooks, Freddie Stroma, Chukwudi Iwuji, Jennifer Holland, Steve Agee, and Robert Patrick.

The clip shows Cena, who was last seen lying in a hospital bed at the end of James Gunn’s The Suicide Squad, wearing his superhero suit and helmet to meet Amanda Waller’s team at a cafe. His bald eagle “Eagley” is in the back seat of his car. When he goes to the cafe, the team which consists of Steve Agee, Danielle Brooks, Jennifer Holland, and Chukwudi Iwuji, denigrates the hero’s outfit with Agee asking, “Did this dipshit really show up in full cosplay mode?”

Gunn created the spin-off show and Peter Safran produced.

“Peacemaker is an opportunity to delve into current world issues through the lens of this superhero-supervillain-and world’s biggest douchebag,” Gunn said via Variety. “I’m excited to expand ‘The Suicide Squad’ and bring this character from the DC film universe to the full breadth of a series. And of course, to be able to work again with John, Peter, and my friends at Warner Bros. is the icing on the cake.”

Peacemaker is set to debut in January 2022. Watch the trailer below.

Nikki Bella shared a statement on her Instagram profile confirming the news about the split with Cena.

“After much contemplation and six years of being together, Nikki Bella and John Cena announced today their decision to separate as a couple. While this decision was a difficult one, we continue to have a great deal of love and respect for one another. We ask that you respect our privacy during this time in our lives,” read the statement.

John Cena, on the other hand, shared a quote from American poet Walt Whitman, “We were together. I forgot the rest.”

John Cena and Nikki Bella met through World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) and have been friends for years. After Cena divorced his first wife Elizabeth Huberdeau in 2012, he asked Bella out and the two started dating. Their relationship was documented on the reality TV series Total Divas and Total Bellas. The two eventually got engaged in April 2017, when Cena proposed to Bella during WrestleMania 33.

John Cena recently talked with Us Weekly about the struggles in his relationship with Nikki.

“Relationships are hard. Don’t ever think that love is easy. Love is beautiful, but we’ve had to come to the realization after being together for five years that love is not easy,” said Cena. “We work every day on us. We have our problems just like everybody else. Some of our problems are very public, some of them aren’t. But we work every day on us. Anytime I get upset, I always just realize that I can’t live without her and I love her and that’s why I cave in on a lot of stuff.”
