John Cena and Eric André are set to explore their relationship in an upcoming Netflix comedy film.

The streaming service is in the early stages of developing Little Brother, with both actors attached to the project. The screenplay is written by Jarrad Paul and Andrew Mogel (The D Train), while David Bernad and Ruben Fleischer are on board as producers. No director or release date has been revealed yet.

The plot of Little Brother revolves around a famous real estate agent whose carefully structured life is disrupted by the unexpected return of his eccentric “little brother.”

This project aligns with Netflix’s new collaboration with WWE, which officially starts next month. Netflix’s chief content officer, Bela Bajaria, first mentioned Little Brother during a press event at the company’s headquarters on Tuesday.

Cena began his entertainment journey as a WWE wrestler over twenty years ago and is set to embark on his farewell WWE tour next year. Upcoming projects for Cena include a return for the second season of the Max series Peacemaker, as well as a leading role in the live-action film Matchbox, produced by Apple, Skydance, and Mattel Films.

He has also appeared in the 2024 films Argylle, Ricky Stanicky, and Jackpot!

André is recognized for his work on Adult Swim’s satirical talk show The Eric André Show, which concluded last year after six seasons. His past projects include the Netflix comedy film Bad Trip and voice roles in Trolls Band Together, Sing 2, and the Oscar-nominated The Mitchells vs. the Machines.

In a recent interview with The Hollywood Reporter, Ricky Stanicky director Peter Farrelly praised Cena for his commitment to acting.

“Without a doubt, I would say he was the most prepared actor I’ve ever worked with,” Farrelly commented. “On the first day, he knew the entire script inside and out, every line.”

Cena is represented by WME, Intenta Management, and Johnson Shapiro.
