More Details On The Duke Nukem Movie Starring John Cena Revealed

"Make it a really fun ride despite the character's tone"? That doesn't sound very sound.

"You know that having a misogynistic guy in today's world, how do you make that fun and lovable?"

By casting into the role a pro wrestler no one over the age of 14 likes but are forced to like because the promotion he works for brainwashes children with merchandise to tell them who their heroes have to be instead of letting them decide for themselves which wrestlers deserve to be a star.

I've got a feeling this movie will never be made and that's okay. A film that doesn't know its audience is no film at all.

Here we go, now it's SJWSpot, not GameSpot anymore.

I'd love to see a Duke Nukem movie, but it's a REALLY challenging time to have a character like this in the U.S. right now. On the other hand, if they could do for sexual harassment awareness that Black Panther did for racism, it would work. Duke isn't misogynistic, he just really likes women.

I can see only good things coming from a Duke Nukem film in our current political climate.

What a bunch of nonsense.

What exactly makes Duke Nukem misogynist?

The fact that Duke Nukem is attracted to good looking girls

And the fact that they are attracted to him?

That makes him horny not misogynist.

Even Gamespot themselves made an article 7 years ago -

Reality Check: Duke Nukem Forever Isn't Sexist.

The problem with casting John Cena as the main character is that he'll be 55 years old when the movie comes out.

What I like about Duke is everything is taken to xtremes - his ego, political incorectness, masculinity. He is not supposed to be taken seriously, so if people find him offensive and start bitching on social media, then the hell with them :-p

Step 1: Don't cast John Cena.

From the producers of Ninja Turtles, and starring John Cena... Yeah, this thing ooze quality all over it.

A script faithful to Duke Nukem's character can be written, and there won't be any problems or complaints.

The only catch is: you also have to replace John Cena with Angela Bassett.

Duke Nukem was sexist, yes, but his whole character was created in a tongue-in-cheek way. He was parodying the macho action hero.

Make it Duke and it will sell to people that want Duke. If you try to sell to people that were never going to see it anyway, they're still not going to see it and no matter what they're certainly not going to waste that bottled up vitriol. They'll spew it all over their Tumblr just as they intended to.

It's tricky, but possible. R-rated action-comedy is the right way to go about it, but not as slap-stick as Deadpool. But definitely 4x as over-the-top.

I thought he was a womanizer not a misogynist though that's not much better

I dunno. Deadpool works because he's generally just a potty mouthed guy who likes to break the 4th wall. There's nothing really all that offensive there (aside from all the cursing, anyway). Duke is a pig. Granted, he's supposed to be a parody of what he represents, but nobody these days has a sense of humour.

Duke Nukem movie with Deadpool-esque inspiration sounds good to me.

It won't be a problem, because no one will see him doing anything misogynistic anyway. In fact... no one will even see him at all...

Man John Cena has the perfect look for the role and I never thought of it.

Why bother? He's a outdated character.

"You can't see my BALLS OF STEEL."

Considering how cool off a dude John Cena is, I highly doubt he will agree to play a character as sexist and misogynistic as Duke Nukem. Hell, his agent will warn him against it.

keep the tone but have a disclaimer at the start of the movie stating that it is a work of fiction blah blah blah you dont support what is said etc. and **** the metoo movement.

The MeToo minefield, and a combination of completely turning the soundtrack to hip-hop is what has me thinking this is gonna be horrible.

Of course I would love to be proven wrong on this.

In the era of metoo, good luck.

So essentially make him not Duke Nukem, and therefor pointless.
