John Cena Being Considered For Starring Role In Knight Rider Movie

ScreenRant reports that John Cena is being considered for the lead role in the upcoming Knight Rider reboot. Cena would play Michael Knight, who was played by David Hasselhoff in the original TV show. Kevin Hart is being considered for the voice of KITT, the futuristic car that Knight drives.

The film, following in the footsteps of others like 21 Jump Street, would aim to turn the TV series into an action comedy.

The original TV series began airing in 1982 and ran for four seasons. A sequel TV series premiered on NBC in 2008 but only lasted one season.

Cena is set to star in Transformers: Bumblebee as well, which opens on 12/21/18.
