Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson has only gone and cast WWE's very own John Cena as the lead role for his new movie "The Janson Directive".

Johnson's Seven Bucks Productions studio will produce the upcoming action film and although it was thought that 'The Rock' would take the leading role, he has instead chosen The Champ to headline.

According to entertainment website Variety, "The Janson Directive" will follow a former consular ops agent who, after leaving covert operations due to the high number of sanctioned serial killings, goes into business as private security consultant.

Teamed with a sharpshooter, Janson only takes assignments that he believes will lead to helping those in need.

The 45-year-old announced on Instagram earlier that Cena will lead his upcoming movie and it sent everybody into meltdown, understandably.

"Congrats to my good buddy John Cena on landing the lead role for our movie, The Janson Directive." Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson said on Instagram earlier.

"This is a project that myself, @sevenbucksprod, our production partners and Universal Studios have been developing for years now.

"Congrats man and I'm excited to go on this journey with you. Thank you for your commitment to the role and remember, as your producer if you screw up, I'm coming to set and droppin' the People's Elbow on ya.

"And you know first hand how devastating my elbow drops can be. Congrats my friend and let's go make a good one."

We can't wait to see Cena play one of his first major roles in a movie.
