Andrew Form Worried About The King’s ‘Misogyny’

There has been news about a movie adaptation for The King recently.  First, Jon St. John said he’d like to be in a hard-R CGI movie.  Then it was rumored that John Cena was going to dye his hair blonde and don the shades.

Well it seems that the Duke Nukem movie is still happening in some capacity.  Now Andrew Form tells Cinema Blend:

“We are working on Duke Nukem right now. It’s going to be about tone. That’s about tone. How do you nail that tone in the way that Deadpool nailed the tone? I think we have to do that and if we don’t get the tone right then we’re not going to make the movie..

You know that having a misogynistic guy in today’s world, how do you make that fun and loveable and at the same time he’s got to be an incredible badass, so those are the things that we’re struggling with and we’re going to try and come out with what I hope is a really fun ride. That’s the goal, is for it to be a really fun ride.”

Form also confirmed that Cena is their guy for ‘Duke’ at the moment, but it’s not a lock:

“Yeah, that’s what we’re working with now. He is. Yes. We don’t have a script yet, so that is confirmed at this point but if he reads the script and he doesn’t like the script I’m sure there’s ways that he could pull out, but right now he’s our guy.”

I’m not sure if Cena fits, I’m also definitely not sure I like the sound of producers worried about The King being sexist, or how to make him ‘presentable’ to lunatics.  You won’t emasculate The King and get away with it!  You hear us, Form?!
