Kung fu star Jackie Chan is throwing his hat into the ring, teaming up with American wrestling superstar John Cena in an action thriller that has a working title of Project X. It will be helmed by Need For Speed (2014) director Scott Waugh, with Cena replacing Sylvester Stallone, who was previously slated to star.

Cena was at the Shanghai International Film Festival last week to meet Chan, where the two reportedly got busy mapping out high-octane action sequences for the film.
