5 Candidates Aside From John Cena Who Could Play Duke Nukem

Reports have surfaced that famed WWE wrestler/actor, John Cena is in early talks to portray loud mouth, no bull sh*t, video game protagonist Duke Nukem and for all intents and purposes, we’re on board! We love John Cena, however just in case it falls through, here are five other candidates who should be considered for the role of Duke Nukem.

1) Ivan Drago

Olympic Gold Medalist and amateur boxing champion, this 6ft 5 inch behemoth of a man has not only the physical prowess, but also the no b.s. mentality needed to bring Duke Nukem to life. He just needs to work on that accent.

2) Guile

The transition from Street Fighter combatant to Duke Nukem would be quite easy for Guile. He’s already a military man, has goofy hair, and basically wears identical clothes to Duke. They even share that deep, all American voice that no one I’ve ever met has.

3) My friend, Nick

Short tempered and ill mannered, my pal Nick would make a fitting candidate to don the the Nukem shades.

4) Ron Perlman

C’mon, do I really need to make a case for the guy?

5) The Soundboard

Perhaps the most deserving of all the names mentioned, the Duke Nukem soundboard (and this lady) have already provided countless hours of entertainment. Let’s give them a shot at the silver screen.
