Get ready for a hilarious and action-packed ride as Kevin Hart and John Cena team up for Netflix’s latest comedy, “The Leading Man”!
Writers Jon and Erich Hoeber have sold Netflix on the pitch for this action comedy based on the comic book series from Jeremy Haun and B. Clay Moore. The movie follows a self-absorbed movie star (John Cena) who discovers his co-star (Kevin Hart) is an actual secret agent, forcing him to confront reality and team up to save the world.
This project marks the Hoeber brothers’ second Netflix deal, following their original script “Fast & Loose”, an action film starring Will Smith that’s currently in pre-production.
The film boasts an impressive production team, including Kevin Hart, Luke Kelly-Clyne, Bryan Smiley, Joe Roth, Jeff Kirschenbaum, Eric Gitter, Peter Schwerin, John Cena, and Dan Baime. Executive producers include Zak Roth, Jon and Erich Hoeber, and Jeremy Haun.
With Kevin Hart’s comedic genius and John Cena’s action hero credentials, “The Leading Man” is shaping up to be an unforgettable ride. Hart is no stranger to Netflix, having worked on projects like “Fatherhood”, “Me Time”, “The Man from Toronto”, “Lift”, and the limited series ” True Story”
