LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: John Cena is a National Treasure and we definitely are simping over him. Cena is one of the many additions to the big bag of 'Fast X' characters. The wrestler-turned actor plays Dominic Toretto's brother Jakob Toretto. He is the literally the knight in shining armor for the movie and a savior for Dominic's son Brian Marcos. With Jason Momoa's Dante and John Cena's Jakob, there is a breath of fresh air to the proceedings as they both bring sarcasm and light humor to the script. We think the script needed Cena to be more serious but goofy Cena is way better.

The rest of the cast includes Vin Diesel as Dominic Toretto, with a supporting ensemble cast that includes Jason Momoa, Michelle Rodriguez, Tyrese Gibson, Ludacris, John Cena, Nathalie Emmanuel, Jordana Brewster, Sung Kang, Scott Eastwood, Daniela Melchior, Alan Ritchson, Helen Mirren, Brie Larson, Rita Moreno, Jason Statham, and Charlize Theron.

Jakob is a goofball we love and adore

When Dom goes to Rome to fight and defeat Dante, his son is still back in Los Angeles. But, when things go completely berserk, the people from the agency come to kidnap Dom's son. After many action sequences which literally turns Dom's house into a big hole, we see Jakob coming in to save Brian. They both get into an old car to go meet Dom. The entire purpose of Jakob in the movie is to keep Dom's son safe and to keep the script light and fun. There are few scenes of John Cena in the film but they are great and bring an element of fun to the seriousness of Dominic Toretto's vibes.

The cast list is long, very long

The cast of the movie keeps extending as the movie progresses. All in all, the big bulky cast of the movie wasn't able to save it from falling face first into disappointment, but we are sure that 'Fast X' will be able to come out as a great movie for all the fans out there and would be a great treat for all Jason Momoa and John Cena fans.

'Fast X' now exclusively available in the theaters near you.
