In Daddy’s Home (2015), John Cena plays the tough, muscular ex-boyfriend of Sara (Linda Cardellini), who returns to challenge her current husband, Brad (Will Ferrell), for the title of "cool dad." The film is a comedy about the rivalry between the two men as they try to outdo each other in a series of increasingly ridiculous and over-the-top stunts. Cena’s role adds a hilarious, action-hero twist to the family-friendly chaos.
