John Cena and Alison Brie go Freelance in trailer for action comedy

August 26, 2023 by Amie Cranswick

Relativity Media have released a trailer, poster and images for Freelance, the upcoming action comedy starring John Cena and Alison Brie.

Directed by Pierre Morel, the film stars Cena as an ex-special forces operative who is hired to provide security for a journalist (Brie) as she interviews a ruthless dictator (Juan Pablo Raba), but when a military coup breaks out the three are forced to band together and escape the jungle and the assassins pursuing them.

 

An ex special forces operative stuck in a dead-end desk job (John Cena) reluctantly takes on a gig to provide private security for a washed-up journalist (Alison Brie) as she interviews a ruthless—but impeccably dressed—dictator (Juan Pablo Raba). When a military coup breaks out just as she’s about to get the scoop of a lifetime, the unlikely trio must figure out how to survive the jungle, the assassins, and each other in order to make it out alive.

Freelance arrives in cinemas on October 6th.
