Peacock's upcoming movie The Independent will feature John Cena as a presidential hopeful giving stump speeches in a tense political climate. Cena's character is seeking to become the first candidate elected without the backing of a major political party, while investigative reporters pursue a career-making story about the race. The Independent will be available to stream on November 2.
The Independent's plot is thick with political storylines and reflections of real world circumstance. In the story, the voters are faced with the choice of electing the first female president, played by Ann Dowd, or Cena's political outsider.
John Cena Running For President Mirrors Dwayne Johnson's Show Cena's fellow former WWE wrestler Dwayne Johnson is also aiming to be the leader of the free world on-screen. Young Rock, a sitcom based on Johnson's life, bounces around from periods of Johnson's life, from troubled youth to his football career at Miami. A third storyline, staged in 2032, sees Johnson playing himself as a presidential candidate.
There are not many levels of distortion between the lived history of recent presidential elections and The Independent's premise. In 2016, Hillary Clinton was the first female presidential candidate nominated by a major party, and she ran against Donald Trump, who did have the backing of the Republican Party but retained his outsider status.

It must be time for Hollywood to oversimplify politics and sanctimoniously lecture the rest of us as if they aren’t part of the problem.
