John Cena’s transformation into a bona fide movie star has long since been complete, but it still feels like a fun surprise every time he pops up in a new movie. Amazon’s cottoned on to his value nice and smartly, too.

If that sounds potentially gruesome and indeed a little like a sci-fi thriller from the mind of an author like J.G. Ballard, don’t worry – the trailer makes it clear that we’re in for a much more light-hearted ride.

Cena plays Noel Cassidy, an enthusiastic but raw “lottery protection agent”, who wants to help her survive to get a slice of her prize. And this looks like one of Cena’s most comedic roles yet – which has proven a fun bit of surprise for fans.

It looks like daft fun, and underlines the fact that Cena has been willing to take on remarkably silly roles in the last few years – some of which have suited him down to the ground. He’s fresh from a surprise appearance in the latest season ofThe Bear, too, after getting rave reviews for a completely nude appearance at this year’s Oscars.
