Mostly, we see the top-paid Hollywood stars on the list like Tom Cruise and Robert Downey Jr. Dwayne Johnson is also in the competition because of his widespread stardom. However, there are some new competitors this year, and John Cena is also among them.
As we just mentioned, Cena is not competing alone. Like every year, there are worthy competitors in the category. Despite the usual odds, The Prototype’s game is looking strong in 2023. The number of movies that he is working on this year is to be credited for the same.

Just like every year, the biggest superstars of Hollywood were able to bag a valuable amount of box office collection for themselves. But fans shouldn’t forget that Cena is also one of the biggest names in Hollywood. In fact, the wrestler could feature in 6 movies this year by the end of 2023. So, this fact can give him an advantage over other competing actors.
The first movie this year that fans saw John Cena in was ‘Fast X’. The movie is the fourth highest-grossing movie in Hollywood in 2023. So, naturally, it’s a huge win for John Cena. On top of that, the wrestler worked as a co-star in ‘Hidden Strike’ alongside Hollywood action-comedy Jackie Chan. The movie was also a hit as soon as it came out exclusively on Netflix.
Not resting much to celebrate the success of his movie, Cena announced another Hollywood project soon after ‘Hidden Strike’s release. In an Instagram post, Cena posted a video game picture of the comic character ‘Rocksteady’. Through this, he teased his appearance in the upcoming Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles animated movie called ‘TMNT: Mutant Mayhem’. The wrestler will be voicing the rhinoceros-humanoid villain.
He would voice another cartoon character in Looney Tunes’ upcoming live-action CGI film ‘Coyote vs Acme’. The Prototype is also set to be the lead role in the upcoming Hollywood film ‘Freelance’. Not to forget, the wrestler’s cameo in the blockbuster ‘Barbie’ movie.
Despite the perfect cards on John Cena’s table, the Hollywood star still faces some stiff competition on his road to becoming the highest-grossing actor of 2023.
Which actors can compete with Cena this year?
Chris Pratt has been doing well on his road to becoming the highest-grossing actor this year. The superstar was part of two of the highest-grossing movies this year so far. Apart from being ‘Star Lord’ in ‘Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3’, Pratt also featured in the ‘Super Mario Bros’ movie as well. The collection adds up to be a whopping $2.2 Billion worldwide collection.
