John Cena is in the process of making the transition from wrestling to Hollywood and now some cryptic social media posts from the WWE Superstar have fans wondering if he might be heading to HBO's Watchmen .

Zack Snyder's Watchmen is widely considered a masterpiece among comic book fans but an HBO series fleshing that world out is undeniably exciting. It seems to still be very early days for the project but could producers have already started looking at casting some of the key roles? Well, that's what many people believe after John Cena shared a couple of very interesting Instagram posts this past week.



Cena is still active within WWE but is clearly making an effort to become the next Dwayne Johnson with starring (and well-received) roles in the likes of Daddy's Home 2 and Trainwreck. He'll also be the lead star of upcoming Transformers spinoff Bumblebee, easily his biggest Hollywood role to date.



So, could he play

Dr.

Manhattan on the small screen? That would certainly be an unexpected piece of casting on HBO's part and Cena would obviously have to be comfortable stripping off for the role in what will likely be an R-Rated drama. It's feasible he could have landed the role or at least met for it and just as likely that he's a fan and is messing with us. It seems, for now, we'll have to wait and see...
